Teeth Whitening Product Abuse
Some people using over-the-counter teeth whitening products tend to use them too often and for too long and do not always strictly follow the instructions on the package label. Overuse or improper use of these type products may lead to gum problems and irreversible tooth damage! If after using these type products you see that your teeth start to have a bluish tint to them and/or notice that the ends or tips of your teeth are becoming somewhat "see-through" or translucent then it may be a good idea to stop using teeth whitening products and consult your dentist. Furthermore, if you are trying to whiten your gray-looking teeth
due to the use of the antibiotic, tetracycline, then do not even try because
over-the-counter teeth whitening products will not whiten teeth discolored
by tetracycline. SUPPLEMENTAL SOURCE: ABC-TV PRIMETIME LIVE 2/3/05 |
