Whitening?
Homemade whitening mixtures aren’t appropriate for everyone.
Talk with a dentist before experimenting if you have:

- Significant tooth sensitivity
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Cavities
- Cracked or damaged teeth
- Gum recession
- Enamel erosion
- Dental restorations you’re concerned about
- Persistent discoloration affecting only one tooth
