Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Tooth whitening weakens the enamel - the chemical action makes it more porous - and this attracts more stain in the near future. It is one of dentistry's main failures. When future staining is 'whitened' the enamel's resistive capacity to staining is further lowered.
