Is 0.01% hydrogen peroxide will work for whitened teeth

Q. Hi im interested in getting my teeth whitened, however how is this allowed as i read an article that says th Eu only allows 0.01% hydrogen peroxide. Surely this wouldnt work. MY dentist says he can do it but im now sceptical as it sounds illegal and dangerous. Can you help, thanks

A.

Teeth whitening at the dentist is not dangerous. Teeth whitening is non invasive and is the best, least invasive way to whitening your teeth. The only side effect is that you may get some sensitivity, which will subside within 48 hours of stopping the treatment.
Kind regards

No – the concentration of hydrogen peroxide for home bleaching should be no stronger than 0.1%
