How safe is teeth whitening for your teeth?
Every since we heard the name, ‘teeth whitening’ as appealed to the masses. Whiter and brighter smiles is something that everyone desires for. However, due to certain incidents and cases of severe sensitivity, people are apprehensive about it now. But its only a myth and a pure wrong regulation.
Like someone rightly said every drug is a poison. Its the amount that decides the effects: less is healing or more can be devastating!! Teeth whitening uses a widely used bleaching agent that is safe to use in the oral cavity. But the modulation and the application of the drug is something that needs expertise.
Dr Ankur Gupta, a dentist in Gurgaon, is an expert for teeth whitening. Here is what she has to say…
“Teeth whitening in gurgaon is done using FDA approved whitening kits. The concentration of the whitening agents sets ‘in office whitening’ a level ahead over-the- counter whitening kits.
Therefore teeth whitening done at our dental clinic is extremely safe.” However, whitening needs a good case selection. And the method of whitening can vary from patient to patient. At times, a patient mistakens a cavity making the tooth look with a brown stain.
Our dentist will examine your teeth for the reasons why your teeth might look better after whitening. Whitening only works if the colour of your teeth is reversible. Any external stains can be easily removed by scaling and polishing. But shade change of the tooth structure can only be done by whitening. Therefore, Teeth whitening is a highly effective treatment.

What you may experience while whitening?
Safe concentrations of hydrogen peroxide is used in the best whitening professional whitening systems. Part of this process involves application of this oxygen rich gel which works wonders on your teeth. The free oxygen penetrates into the surface and to the deeper layers. The strong bonds between the stain and tooth molecule breaks leading to whiter looking teeth. The penetration of free oxygen can be accompanied by mild sensitivity. Two cycles of 15 mins each are mostly recommended. The over-the-counter whitening kits and toothpastes when used without expertise and time and again can make your enamel weak. Therefore, its always better to get professional whitening done.
