Many people suggest natural methods are better, but are you doing your teeth more harm than good? Here\u2019s what we get asked the most\u2026<\/p>\n Answer: The simple answer is no. Teeth whitening does not destroy your teeth or enamel. Most teeth whitening gels contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is popular for its effective whitening capabilities and breaks down into water and urea.\u00a0 Both do not cause damage to your teeth.<\/p>\n Answer: False. Many people search online for \u2018whiten teeth with strawberries\u2019 or \u2018what fruits whiten my teeth\u2019, but the truth is, their acidic and abrasive nature can increase your risk of cavities or tooth sensitivity. While eating fruit is good for your health, you should never allow acidic fruit juice to sit on your teeth for long periods of time. We strongly suggest avoiding this method, because once enamel has worn away, it cannot come back.<\/p>\n Answer: False. Brushing your teeth with baking soda is not an effective way to whiten your teeth. It is abrasive and can actually cause your tooth enamel to erode (wear away) over time.<\/p>\n Answer: False. There is actually no scientific proof that oil pulling makes a difference to the colour of your teeth. As much as we love beautiful white smiles, there have been no studies proving this claim. We suggest opting for professional teeth whitening to achieve your dream pearly whites.

This can happen from trauma or deep decay and can happen slowly over a number of years.<\/p>\n Internal tooth whitening or non-vital bleaching is when peroxide gel is placed inside a tooth and it can whiten from the inside out. This technique is also known as the walking bleach technique. You can find out more about internal bleaching by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Would you like the brightest, whitest smile in London?
