Is teeth whitening safe for my teeth?
Yes, when performed by a dental professional, teeth whitening is safe and does not damage tooth enamel. The whitening agents temporarily open pores in the enamel to remove stains, but the enamel remains intact. Over-the-counter products used incorrectly or excessively can cause damage, which is why professional supervision is recommended.
