What are the hazards of cold light whitening

Cold light whitening is a type of chemical bleaching. Many people do it to make their teeth whiter, but ignore the dangers of cold light whitening. Cold light whitening is extremely harmful to teeth, so it is not recommended. If you want to whiten your teeth, you can take good care of your teeth.

1. You may experience toothache after cold light whitening

Some patients reported that they experienced toothache during the cold light whitening process or within a few days after the end. This is a normal sensitivity phenomenon and patients do not need to worry about it. If a person's teeth are injured, the discomfort will be greater. For teeth with hypoplastic enamel, cracked teeth, or moderate wear, they will experience greater discomfort than normal teeth during cold light whitening treatment, but they will recover on their own within 24 hours after the operation.

2. Cold light whitening will temporarily decalcify the teeth

After cold light whitening, our teeth will experience temporary decalcification. In addition, some of our teeth may be damaged by whitening drugs due to poor protection, causing gum damage, which is also bad for the teeth.

3. Cold light whitening will affect dental diseases

Some of our teeth may have hypoplastic enamel, which may cause hidden cracks in the teeth or wear down the teeth. Therefore, the cold light whitening method still has a certain impact on us and we need to be cautious.

4. Cold light whitening may cause fluorescence reaction

The effect of cold light whitening usually only lasts about 1 to 2 years and is not a permanent solution. After the effect wears off, the teeth will be uglier than before the treatment. In dark light (such as in dance halls and KTV rooms), teeth may appear fluorescent, which is quite scary. Therefore, you must be cautious when doing cold light whitening.
