When done properly, teeth whitening is generally safe — but overuse or misuse of certain products can lead to enamel damage and sensitivity. The key is choosing a method that’s dentist-approved and suited to your smile.
⚠️ What Puts Enamel at Risk
- Overusing whitening strips or trays without supervision
- Using abrasive DIY methods (like lemon juice or baking soda)
- Whitening too frequently without giving enamel time to recover
✅ Safe Whitening Practices
- Professional whitening at your dental clinic
- Custom trays with dentist-prescribed gel
- Waiting several months between touch-ups
🦷 Signs of Enamel Sensitivity
- Sharp pain when eating or drinking hot/cold items
- Gum irritation or receding gums
- See-through or discoloured tooth edges
