User report by Dr. Elisa Jurianz One of my patients arranged an appointment in our practice, wishing to get whiter teeth. She was unhappy with her tooth color and especially with the fact that her teeth's cervical regions were significantly darker. The regular consumption of coffee was a visible cause for the discoloration of the tooth surfaces. The patient presented no fillings, allergies, or any other health restrictions.

They’re all too common questions: Can whitening harm teeth? If so, what’s the least harmful teeth whitening? Can too much whitening damage the teeth? Are there safe teeth whitening products that don’t harm teeth at all?

Maybe you’ve heard it said, or maybe you’ve asked yourself, “Why don’t my teeth get as white as they used to?” or “Does aging make it harder to whiten teeth?” or “why don’t my teeth get as white as other people’s teeth, no matter how much I whiten? What’s the deal?”

Internet searches, ads, and store shelves are all packed with products that claim to be the best way to whiten your teeth. Have you ever wondered, however, if they’re safe? Have you wondered why there are so many, and what the difference is?
