Does Teeth Whitening Kill Cavities?

Does Teeth Whitening Kill Cavities?


3 minute read

Though getting a whiter, brighter smile is an awesome benefit of whitening your teeth, there can also be long term benefits when it comes to the health of your teeth. Bacteria and cavities are always something you should be looking out for when taking care of your teeth throughout the teeth whitening process. Not only will it help keep your teeth white, but it can prevent long term problems with the strength of your teeth. Many important ingredients in teeth whiteners can help with your oral hygiene!

 

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is a star ingredient when it comes to getting your teeth to be those pearly whites you’ve always wanted. Not only that, but this main ingredient can also kill problematic bacteria that may be lingering on your teeth. The combination of whitening agent and breaking down plaque on the teeth leads to an overall healthier and brighter smile. But, too much can be a bad thing! A concentrated amount of hydrogen peroxide in your teeth whitener can actually lead to teeth damage and a higher possibility for cavity growth if the protective layer of your teeth, enamel, is damaged. It is very important to find a balance of whitening ability while keeping your dental health a priority when searching for the perfect teeth whitening product for you!

 

Calcium Carbonate

A common ingredient in whitening toothpastes, calcium carbonate, similarly helps fight bacteria while getting rid of teeth stains. Ingredients like this are known as abrasives, which are able to clean the surface of the tooth when using a toothbrush and getting rid of debris and stains. It not only safely polishes but removes plaque as well. Brushing two times a day is your best fight against bacteria.
