Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
A bright, white smile is one of the most common aesthetic goals. With so many products and treatments available today, it’s natural to wonder: is teeth whitening actually safe? At Dental Artistry, we’re here to clear up your doubts with honest, professional information.
The short answer: Yes, it’s safe — when done under a dentist’s supervision
Professional teeth whitening is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive procedure when performed under the guidance of a dental professional. The products we use are clinically approved and specially formulated to protect both your enamel and soft tissues.
Why choose in-office whitening over at-home kits?
While over-the-counter products (like whitening toothpastes, strips, or DIY kits) are widely available, professional whitening offers several important advantages:
Personalized assessment: We check for cavities, cracks, or gum inflammation that could cause discomfort during whitening.
Gum and tissue protection: We apply special barriers and techniques to prevent irritation.
Sensitivity management: We can adjust the strength of the whitening agent and apply desensitizing products as needed.
Visible, long-lasting results: Your smile can brighten by several shades in just one session—with even, natural-looking results.
Can it cause sensitivity?
You may experience mild, temporary sensitivity, especially within the first 24–48 hours after treatment. However, this fades quickly and poses no risk to your dental health. At our clinic, we use advanced products designed to minimize discomfort.
Who should avoid teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is not recommended for:
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Patients with untreated cavities or active gum disease
People with severe tooth sensitivity
