Research has shown that tooth whitening as done by dentists is not harmful to teeth. The active whitening agent used by dentists is called carbamide peroxide.
- ‘In addition to its anti-bacterial and anti-caries properties, carbamide peroxide has beneficial effects on gingival health’.
- ‘Elevation of salivary pH by carbamide peroxide also allays fears that acidic bleaching agents may cause enamel erosion’.
