At-home teeth whitening products, including polishes, strips and sprays, are harmful to teeth because they contain peroxide. This is about Pravda.Ru said dentist Ekaterina Komarova.
According to him, this method of teeth whitening will only provide a short-term effect. Moreover, after non-professional whitening, tooth enamel will become porous and “absorb” coloring pigments.
“Enamel is more porous. And after these events, the enamel gradually darkens. The gentlest thing is professional oral hygiene, during which dental plaque, gum plaque and stones are removed. There is some whitening there,” Komarova said.
In addition, as a result of such procedures, you can lose fluoride and calcium, which are necessary for enamel.
The dentist concluded: “Home whitening is completely temporary and still causes tooth enamel to discolour more quickly, become brittle and porous, and causes calcium and fluoride to be lost.”
Dental hygienist Damir Usmanov at the White Rainbow clinic before said Whitening strips “socialbites.ca” contain different concentrations of active ingredients, so they should be chosen taking into account the individual recommendations of a specialist.
