prevent problems

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info Jerry. I have a question: I know that many products like

toilet paper and such use bleeching to make it look " more white " , and also

known for their damaging affects, are those are the same chemicals that used

there ?

thanks Dima

> Tooth whiteners, used either at a dentists' office, or as nonprescription

kits often use carbamide peroxide as the tooth bleaching-whitening agent.

1/3 of carbamide peroxide is made up of hydrogen peroxide, a highly

unstable, oxidizing agent. Some can-cer specialists believe the use of these

kits may partly explain the jump in the number of cancer of the mouth cases

in younger people. Tooth whiteners have become very popular recently. Oral

cancer usually was found in older people with a history of drinking and

smoking. A researcher at Georgetown U.Hosp., B.Davidson, MD, chairman of

otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, presented 2 cases of 2 young men in

their 20s who developed advanced tongue cancer dccades before it usu-ally

develops, after repeatedly using tooth whiteners. The report was presented

at the 6th International Conf. on Head and Neck Cancer.

> Research also shows that chemicals destroy the integrity of the tooth

enamel. The whitening effect may last for a while, but the resulting

porosity in the enamel can attract discoloration, Then the need appears for

yet more and more bleaching and more damage to the teeth.
