Why You Should Avoid Over the Counter Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening is so popular that people are taking it to the extreme. If you follow the Allure Mountain Dental Blog, you will know that over whitening your teeth can make them sensitive and even translucent. Too much of anything is never a good idea, but that is especially true with over the counter tooth whitening products.

Why Over the Counter Tooth Whitening is Not So Good

Because anyone can purchase tooth whitening products without a prescription, it can be overused. Overuse of tooth whitening products causes sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks and can damage the enamel on your teeth.

Too much over the counter tooth whitening strips, gels, polishes, pastes, and especially those one size fits all bleaching trays, will eat away at the protective coating on your teeth. Once this happens there is nothing you can do about it as your enamel will never replenish itself.

Those one-size fits all bleaching trays are never a perfect fit as no one has the same size mouth. People have a tendency to overuse the whitening product when using over the counter tooth whitening trays.
