    Default Whitening Teeth Dangerous?

    I use whitening toothpastes and my SO is getting on my case recently telling me they're dangerous and they cause your teeth to actuall yellow. I haven't had any problems with them, but I am concerned because he's been hearing it from reliable media sources. Anyone else know anything about this? ???


    He says the channel 5 news website has stuff on it. I guess it's been that talk of the media the last 2 days.

    Haven't seen/read anything about this, Hott, but my dentist has always advised me against it.

    Is this just whitening tooth paste or all whitening products ie "white strips" and professional laser whitening at the dentist??

    I've heard peroxide in pastes and strips can erode tooth enamel. Besides, humans weren't mean to have blinding blue-white teeth.

    My dentist sells the white strips. I've used them and loved them. However there was a time when I fell asleep with them on and my teeth hurt (major pain) for about three days...

    Whitening will improve the appearance of your teeth but it wears down enamel over time. I paid $400 for a professional whitening a year ago and I didn't see enough of a difference to keep it up and my teeth HURT afterwards. I just use whitening toothpaste from Crest now and it seems to do the trick. If you must drink dark liquids (coffee, red wine, soda), use a straw!
