Is teeth whitening safe?

Teeth whitening, when performed by a dental professional or using dentist-approved home kits, is generally considered safe for most people. 

For in office whitening we use special precautions in order to contain the whitening solution on the surface of the teeth. For take-home kits, it is essential to follow the instructions provided to achieve optimal results and to ensure safety. 

Some individuals may experience temporary teeth sensitivity or gum irritation after whitening treatments. These side effects usually subside within a few days. Overusing whitening products or using products without proper supervision can damage tooth enamel and gums.

It is also important to note that teeth whitening may not be suitable for everyone. It is therefore advised to consult us before undergoing whitening procedures. 

In conclusion, studies have shown that teeth whitening is a safe procedure when performed appropriately. Always consult a dental professional to help tailor whitening to your specific needs.
