Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Is Tooth Whitening for You? We see and hear ads for tooth whitening on TV, radio, in magazines - everywhere. We advise against it. F. Eichmiller, DDS, director of the ADA’s research center, explained that whitening can often open naturally occurring pores within teeth. (Dentistry Today) These open pores can cause temporary sensitivity to air as well as hot and cold food and drinks, a common side effect of tooth whitening. He suggests a ‘remineralizing’ formula he must feel will help overcome the problem. These ‘pores’ make teeth more easily stained by foods in the future, and so the ‘whitening’ is temporary. It invites the ‘need’ for more whitenings and more damage to the surface of the teeth. . . unless the ‘remineralizing formula’ is fool-proof.. Use Peelu Dental Fibers on your toothbrush for a more natural and healthful approach to having great looking teeth.
