Edit Safety precautions while whitening your teeth

<p>A beauty therapist would not be able to diagnose dental disease or worse, oral cancer and therefore must not be providing tooth whitening to clients.</p> <p>They are unlikely to be able to ensure complete gingival protection from the concentrated products they are applying to the teeth.</p> <p>I have on several occasions seen very severe burns to the gums following this.</p> <p>Many beauty therapists are using a high concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide and light to lighten teeth.</p> <p>However, some are even using Chlorine Dioxide to whiten teeth. This is an extremely acidic, harmful substance that results in permanent etching and damage to teeth.</p> <p>Beauticians advertising <a href="/treatment/teeth-whitening-bleaching/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tooth whitening</a> with Carbamide Peroxide is not a new thing, despite reports of it being seen more frequently, they have been using it for some time.</p> <p>Carbamide Peroxide breaks down into Hydrogen Peroxide and its use is not an attempt at exploiting a legal loophole</p>
