Dear Dentist

My question is regards to whitening � Is Hydrogen Peroxide bad for your teeth or whitening in general does it cause cavities if you used say 30% in house bleaching?

Does a high percent of Hydrogen Peroxide not cause cracks in teeth or make them matte/loose their shine?

How does whitening work? thank you for your time

Does teeth whitening weaken or damage your teeth?

Q.

Hello Doctor
Does teeth whitening weaken or damage your teeth in any way and would you recommend it for any age? I am 53 and am considering having four porcelain crowns at the front but I would like my teeth whitened first and then have the new crowns match them.

Thank you for your time
