Consumption of acidic foods and drinks as well as all types of tooth bleaching can cause a loss of essential tooth minerals. While saliva helps restore these minerals, using a remineralizing product helps the process by delivering these critical tooth minerals directly to the tooth surface.

Depending on the strength, bleaching gel can to some degree cause tooth sensitivity. This is sensitivity to cold/hot fluids and even air can cause discomfort. This is normal and an expected side effect. Luckily there are products available to help with this side effect.

Many people use harsh or hard brushes under the false impression that they will provide a more efficient cleaning. Hard brushes can have an abrasive effect on enamel which protects teeth from dental disease. They can also damage the gums, promoting bleeding and opening the way for bacterial penetration, resulting in tooth decay and gum disease. This is why it is essential to use a good, high quality toothbrush.
