Is it safe to home whiten if you have cavities?

I was just wondering if there are any chemicals in tooth whitening treatments that are harmful if you have cavities?


I dont want to cause more damage!

Whitening while you have cavities will probably increase the likelihood of sensitivity. Depending on where the cavities are I would probably suggest having them fixed prior to whitening - the only exception would be if they are in your front teeth and the filling material would be visible. This is because tooth whitening will only whiten natural tooth not filling material and you will want the new fillings to match the new colour of your lovely bright white teeth!
Reply:No, that is not a good idea. You should get those taken care of first. Do you not have dental benefits? I just went to the dentist for the first time in six years. I found a really good dental discount plan that only cost $11.95 a month. The discounts are really good. The plan comes with prescription , vision, and chiropractic.
