A member asked:
Can you explain what are possible side effects of bleeching to whiten the teeth where the enamel is worn away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensitivity: There is some normal temporary sensitivity with tooth whitening procedures. With worn enamel if it exposes the inside dentin, you will probably experience even more sensitivity. Discuss this with your own dentist who can examine you and offer some suggestions to accomplish your goals.

A member asked:
Can I have my teeth whitened without hurting them? I'd like to have my teeth whitened with some method, but keep reading that it either makes your teeth sensitive or isn't good for the enamel. Is there any way to have this done that isn't bad for my teeth
