When teeth whitening was first promoted many years ago, there were all sorts of dire predictions of irreversible damage.
So far, after millions of teeth whitening procedures world-wide, with a wide range of products, the dire consequences that were predicted do not appear to be occurring with anything approaching statistical significance.
The most common side effect of a teeth whitening procedure is short to medium term tooth sensitivity. Our preferred technique of home teeth whitening prior to in-surgery teeth whitening reduces the potential for the whitening to lead to debilitating sensitivity of any duration.
