The BBC is currently running a story about and independent lab in the U.K. that tested 16 do it yourself teeth whitening kits. They found that 14(!) of them contain illegal levels of Hydrogen Peroxide. Like, really illegal levels.
In one case the legal limit was exceeded by a factor of 230 times.
Hydrogen peroxide, commonly used as a hair dye, can aggravate gum disease and cause sensitive teeth – or even chemical burns to the mouth.
Over-the-counter whitening systems are much cheaper, but not nearly as effective or long-lasting as professional tooth whitening. Of the several options on the market.
I been gargle with the Hydrogen peroxide for last 20 years is good for the teeth in my mouth. They are white and clean at the most times because I am make use of the gargle. Thank-you for your reading this my post here.
Regardless, nothing is more important than the proper daily care of your teeth… that will prevent gum disease, not to mention help whiten your smile over time. Brushing at least twice a day and using floss is the base for what you should be doing on a day-to-day basis as part of your routine hygiene.
Most of the stains and problems in teeth may be caused by tobacco, coffee, tea or age. But sometimes such type of stains can be caused by some antibiotics as well such as tetracycline or too much fluoride.
Yeah !! we should be very much careful about tooth whitening products having harmful chemicals..
Heh, to TS- you is right!
Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! nytgyugflnesur
btw: I thought you were going to change the ugly red color of your new design? It’s just an awful color selection!
Oh please. Watching the stands at Wimbledon tennis match, if there is one group of people who need to either brush their teeth or use a whitener product, it is the English. So many with yellow teeth. Whew…
As for:
A British Dental Association spokesperson said: “It is important any patient considering having their teeth whitened consults their dentist, who will examine their mouth properly, take a full medical history and discuss treatment options.”
What would you expect a dentist to say [lol]…
I’ve used carbamide peroxide (what they really use in these products, not hydrogen peroxide) on/off for years in concentrations as high as 23% for years with no noticeable damage. If you have a healthily mouth, you shouldn’t have a problem with moderate use. If you don’t then you SHOULD go to a dentist first.
You can buy gel tubes of this stuff for as little as about $2.50 on the web. What you do need is a good set of trays. I’ve had some made through a web order place but they never come out as good as what the dentist makes.
