Tooth enamel not hurt by teeth whitening.
Brits planning to brighten their smile have been reassured that teeth whitening treatments will not damage their tooth enamel.
Jim Du Molin wrote in the Dental Practice Marketing and Management blog for the Wealthy Dentist that research published in the Journal of the American Dental Association showed that the effects of ten per cent carbamide peroxide – the active ingredient in most home teeth whitening kits – will cause no adverse effects to the teeth.
He stated: “This is excellent news, dispelling any notions that whitening yellow teeth through cosmetic dentistry can be bad for one’s oral health.”
Elsewhere, Cosmetic News Portal recently reported that individuals could be harming their teeth by using over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments that are too strong.
The news provider stated that it is a myth that it should be the case of the stronger the better when it comes to teeth whitening.
