Beware of Over Bleaching!

Posted .

Everyone likes a nice white smile but did you know excessive home tooth whitening can cause damage to your teeth?  Over-the-counter whitening kits can cause serious and permanent damage to tooth enamel because the hydrogen peroxide starts to break down proteins in the teeth after initial discoloration has been removed.  If you want to bleach your teeth at home, we recommend using a take-home bleach kit from your dentist who can supervise and control the bleaching process.  Safely whitening your teeth will lead to a bigger brighter smile!
