Q. Does whitening gel harm the enamel?

Answer

The most typical indication that the enamel on your teeth has been damaged is a yellowish hue. This raises the question "Is there any risk of enamel damage from tooth whitening?" The short answer is that teeth whitening does not cause enamel damage to your teeth. Your teeth get their colour from the dentin which is the primary component of the tooth and also the part that is responsible for its structure. First a whitening solution is painted over the front surface of each tooth and then the teeth are whitened. Following this the solution will penetrate into the dentin and enamel of the tooth. The discoloured tissue that is seen in the innermost layer will start to become less noticeable. This procedure will take around one hour to complete.
