Many consumers in the San Diego area are turning to over-the-counter solutions to whiten their teeth, however their can be dangers and pitfalls to this approach.
Here is some basic advice on tooth whitening from Marcos Ortega DDS:
First, we encourage you to visit our office in San Diego before starting a tooth whitening system. It is a good idea to have your teeth checked and analyzed before starting a tooth whitening program. Tooth whitening is not for everyone, and depends on your dental history.
