Will carbamide peroxide teeth whiteners damage the nerve in my tooth?
Research studies and the clinical observation of the dental community as a whole have not identified a problem associated with the use of dentist-dispensed teeth whitening systems utilizing a carbamide peroxide whitener and the health of the nerve tissue found in the user’s teeth. One study’s specific findings were that no one in their 4.5 and 7-year follow up groups reported requiring root canal treatment for any tooth that had received whitening treatments.
