Hypertension for years has been known as the silent killer because most people that have high blood pressure are not aware they have the disease. The same can hold true for periodontal disease which is also known for not showing tell tale signs of it until it has advanced to the stage where you are losing your teeth.

The warning signs are there which includes bleeding, tender and swollen gums while brushing, flossing and eating hard food. When your gums began receding or pulling away from your teeth it’s time for one of those dreaded trips to the dentist. If left unattended plaque will spread and grow below the gum line. The toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque will stimulate an inflammatory response in which the body turns on itself. The tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed.

Research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of your dental provider is safe for the teeth and gums. There has not been any information that states whitening affects tooth structure, enamel, fillings or restorations. However, there are some concerns about the procedure.

Some patients may experience tooth sensitivity during the treatment. These symptoms usually disappear within one or two days. The dentist will apply a desensitizer to help reduce sensitivity to the teeth. You can also use specially made toothpaste for sensitive teeth to assist in alleviating the pain.

  • There have been some concerns raised by physicians and consumers about the risk of bleaching agents that may cause cancer. However, studies have shown that the concentration of peroxide in the product does not cause cancer to the mouth or to gum tissue. In fact, there is an agent in the saliva that seems to offset the amount of peroxide emitted by the whitening agents.
  • If you’re diagnosed with periodontal disease, the periodontist may recommend surgery. This is a last resort and is performed if it is determined that the tissue around your teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired non-surgically.

    • This obsession can often compromise the effects of whitening, which can often lead to blotchy, discolored results. Additionally, overuse of at home products can increase teeth sensitivity and gum irritation. Because some over the counter teeth whitening products include whitening agents that may have a higher concentration of peroxide, gum tissue can become easily irritated. The plastic trays that come with the at home treatments can also lead to irritation, because the user will often leave it in overnight, rubbing up against and applying pressure to the gum tissue. Dental pulp can die (which may cause the need for a root canal) and tooth enamel can wear away, causing the teeth to take on a slightly translucent grayish-blue hue.
