Question: Do teeth whiteners whiten plaque and tartar or just tooth enamel!?
Just wondering, because I used it without brushing first, and got to thinking!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
OTC (over the counter) tooth whiteners are NOT recommended by dentists, AT ALL!.!.!.!.!.they contain a VERY strong form of peroxide that can break down the tooth enamel and the tooth dentin (the layer beneath the tooth enamel)
Before using them, consult your oral care professional!.!.!.!.!.!.
They are the most effective on younger teeth, (< 30 yrs old) and should be used ONLY after a professional cleaning and assessment by your dentist!.!.!.!.!.!.
