I would like to whiten my teeth, but I have some cavities in my teeth. Can whitening my teeth do any harm to me? I would like to use the iBright home whitening kits.
I suggest that you consult your dentist before whitening your teeth, he will assess the condition of your teeth and gums. After whitening, all cavities should be healed and the color of the fillings should be adjusted to the color of the whitened teeth.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
