No, whitening isn’t bad for your teeth. While our whitening gel contains chemicals that can lead to sensitivity in your gums, tongue, and lips, this shouldn’t happen when it’s applied correctly. That’s why Dr. Bassford takes the utmost precautions when whitening your teeth.
While many people believe that yellow teeth are unhealthy, that’s not always the case. Yellow teeth can be perfectly healthy and simply have stains that built up over time from food and beverages. Whitening can lift these stains and reveal your natural tooth color.
