The answer is no. Bleaching your teeth does not damage your enamel.
Today's bleaching products are safe for tooth enamel, and most patients don't typically experience side effects except occasional tooth sensitivity.
Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Products
What's the difference between professionally whitening your teeth with your dentist versus choosing a product from your local grocery store?
- Effectiveness: Professional products your dentist uses are more potent and effective than what is sold at the store.
- Efficiency: When bleaching gel is more effective, you can achieve your desired results faster.
- Safety: Your dentist creates bleaching trays that are customized for your teeth. This is safer for your soft tissues because customized trays prevent the whitening gel from escaping onto your soft tissues.
