Off Top Please - Teeth Whitening

[Guest guest]

Need to consult you learned people. On a dentist's website sometime ago the

dentist warned people not to have their teeth whitened as the peroxide caused

weakening of the enamel and eventually the teeth would be damaged as well as

darkened again.

The dentist has since passed on so we can't argue with him or pick his brain

anymore. He said this information came from a chemist's lab trials, rather than

just his opinion.

Does anybody know anything about this? Can any of you recommend a type of

treatment that is better than any others? There is the kind that is just a gel

you use with a mouth tray... or there is the kind that is done by the dentist

using the gel and a light for an hour.

Anybody have opinions? Do those bright teeth we see on TV come from just the

" light " treatment, or do they have a special method that we don't hear about?

Any comments? Please.
