  Bleaching has always been feared that it is an unsafe procedure. But 20 years ago, “it was discovered that a 10-percent carbamide peroxide solution could be applied to the teeth safely without fear of burning or otherwise damaging the mouth, or poisoning the patient.” And there are a lot of doctors in the status quo, (8 of 10) use bleaching as an aesthetic procedure to get those pearly whites. And according to the American Dental Association, it is actually safe, and according to their statement on the matter, “Mild thermal sensitivity [sensitivity to cold] is a common side effect associated with most in-office and dentist-prescribed home bleaching methods. However, no long term irreversible tissue effects have been demonstrated in relevant clinical studies.”
