Is smileactives safe

Whether a SmileActives whitening product suits you depends on its active ingredients, how it is used, and the condition of your teeth and gums.

The relevant question is not a blanket product label. Whitening exposure can irritate gums and increase tooth sensitivity, while peroxide may not change the colour of fillings, crowns, veneers, or some internal stains.

Read the ingredient list and directions, keep gel off the gums, use only the stated amount, and stop if burning, ulceration, or marked sensitivity develops. A dental examination can identify decay, cracks, enamel wear, gum recession, or a restoration that needs attention first.

Do not continue a whitening product over untreated tooth pain, gum disease, or a broken tooth. Seek care for persistent sensitivity, gum injury, swelling, or a colour change limited to one tooth.

Ask which active ingredient and concentration the product contains, whether it reaches the type of stain you have, and how existing restorations will look beside whitened enamel.
