Does bleach whitening teeth enjured the enamel? It make the teeth weak(sorry my poor English)? Thankyou
A.
Dear Enquirer,
Professional tooth whitening carried out be a dentist is completely safe and is the best way of getting the results you desire.
Oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide are used to lighten the shade of the tooth. The oxidizing agent penetrates the porosities in the structure of enamel and oxidizes the stain deposits; over a period of time, the dentine layer, lying underneath the enamel, is also bleached.
However, there are no harmful effects on the enamel or dentine.
