The Dangers of DIY Teeth Whitening
DIY teeth whitening kits are understandably attractive. Retail stores have entire shelves of over-the-counter teeth whitening products that offer you a fast track to pearly white teeth. These products are not inherently misleading, but there are certainly risks when it comes to whitening your teeth without the direction and expertise of your dentist.
DIY whitening can lead to uneven results, including yellow or white splotches on your teeth or straight lines if your whitening trays were not designed to fit the shape of your teeth and leave spots unwhitened. These cosmetic flaws can be glaringly obvious to other people, and can be difficult to correct.
Another DIY teeth whitening risk is the bleach and other chemicals used in store bought products. Bleach is the most common whitening agent. Bleach not only weakens the enamel on your teeth, making your teeth weaker, it also makes your teeth more susceptible to discoloration in the future. The bleach in DIY whitening products can also cause stomach aches, nerve damage to your teeth, and infections in your mouth.
If you are going to use one of the over-the-counter kits, it is going to take you several weeks to get your teeth whitened to the level that you would like. With professional teeth cleaning, you can achieve the color that you want in one visit to the dental office.
