Dr. Ed Lowe: Is Tooth Whitening Healthy?
“Many people ask that question: “Is tooth whitening healthy?” and I think that, it certainly doesn’t harm you. It’s made from peroxide which is relatively safe when you take it. You know, obviously they wouldn’t “Okay it” if you can’t. You can end up swallowing a little bit, but it doesn’t harm do any harm to you if you do. But, if you were a regular “Whitener” and you say that: “I want to do whitening every day 365!” Then I don’t think it’s terribly great for you. But for the amount of whitening that most people do, I recommend that if you get in-office whitening , that you at most do it twice a year. And if you do take-home whitening; you go for a period. Then you do whitening for seven to 10 days and then if you need to repeat it in a couple of months, it’s harmless.” Thanks Dr. Lowe. Do you have any questions you would like Dr. Lowe to answer?
