Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Teeth whitening is generally considered safe when performed under the supervision of a dental professional. However, there can be some risks and side effects associated with teeth whitening, particularly when using over-the-counter products or when performed improperly.

Some potential risks and side effects of teeth whitening include tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, and damage to the enamel on your teeth. It's important to follow the instructions carefully and avoid overusing whitening products, as this can increase your risk of experiencing these side effects.

Before considering teeth whitening, it's important to talk to your dentist to determine if it's right for you. We can help you choose the best method for your individual needs and monitor your progress to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective.
