Are the WhiteScience products safe and will they hurt my enamel?
Classified as a cosmetic product by the FDA and approved by Health Canada, carbamide peroxide is the active ingredient in teeth whitening and has been safely used for centuries. WhiteScience’s patented process is designed to be very safe and effective without causing any harm to healthy enamel. Some individuals have demineralized enamel (sometimes inaccurately called calcium deposits). This is a weakening in the enamel and is usually due to insufficient brushing and flossing. This condition is often seen after braces have been removed, since the braces “mask” the teeth from the dentifirice. Teeth that have demineralized areas will be whiter than the normal tooth structure causing a “spotty” type of appearance. This will normalize in a few days. Demineralized enamel is very porous, so it absorbs whitening and stains far faster than healthy enamel. Cosmetically this condition can be minimized by aggressive use of the WhiteICE maintenance product. Will I experience any sensitivity? WhiteS
