While over-the-counter whitening methods are safe, they don’t always work on all teeth. If you have had bonding or tooth-coloured fillings placed in your front teeth the whitener will not affect the colour of these materials, and they will stand out in your newly whitened smile. You should talk to your dentist before using whitening products.
