Does teeth whitening have any side effects?
18 Oct 2024Many patients will already have mild tooth sensitivity during their teeth whitening procedure. And symptoms will gradually improve in 1-2 days after stopping teeth whitening. If you use a teeth whitening agent with a high concentration of hydroperoxide, It will cause the patient to have a high chance of having tooth sensitivity as well.
Side effects of teeth whitening It will depend on the person. If the patient is highly sensitive to sensations such as pain or sensitivity, there is also a high chance of tooth sensitivity.
In cases where the patient has receding gums or the neck of the tooth is worn into a groove The dentist will correct the area for the patient before the teeth are bleached. Otherwise, it will cause moderate or high levels of tooth sensitivity during teeth whitening.
After teeth whitening Will the teeth still be strong? Will teeth decay easily?
From the research report It was found that after teeth whitening with a 10-20% bleaching solution, tooth enamel “will remain as strong as before.”
However, if a hydrogen peroxide solution with a concentration higher than 40% is used (which is not used in that concentration in dentistry), if exposed for a long time it will cause the hardness of the tooth enamel surface to decrease.
However, the teeth whitening solution that dentists give patients to bleach at home There will be only 3-7% concentration of hydrogen peroxide, so it is very safe.
