Does bleaching or whitening the teeth, break down the enamel in any way ?

Question

Will people have teeth breaking down in the future because of it ?

Answer 1

Hello, there are some tooth whitening products that are still under investigation as to whether or not they can, over time, damage the surface or body of teeth...Regardless of the one you choose to use, I caution you, follow the instructions explicitly...Good luck and I wish you well.

Answer 2

it depends on which brands of bleaching you use i use crest and have been for years now and my teeth are strong and healthy it would be the same as drinking soda  

Answer 3

most will. but not a lot. everything basically breaks down your teeth. hard candy, chips, stuff like that. everything breakes them down a little, some just more than others. i would not decide to not use the product just because of that. its not common.
