Should you avoid bleaching your teeth due to any ill effects?

If you are concerned about your teeth whitening procedure due to potential harmful effects, please consult your doctor. Teeth bleaching is not advisable for women that breast feed and/or during pregnancy. Tooth bleaching is not recommended under the age of 16 due to the teeth are still growing and the enamel should not be worn down. If you suffer from sensitive gums or gum disease, or the enamel of your teeth has thinned-out your dentist might advise against tooth bleaching.
