Tooth bleaching is among the most conservative and cost-effective dental therapies to improve or enhance a person's smile. Nonetheless, tooth whitening is not safe and just limited long-term clinical information are offered on the side effects of tooth whitening. Accordingly, tooth whitening is best performed under specialist guidance and following a pre-treatment dental examination and diagnosis. In consultation with the patient, the most appropriate whitening therapy choice(s) might be selected and recommended based on the patient's lifestyle, financial considerations, and oral health. Finally, Clinicians should inform their patients regarding the feasible changes that might occur on their dental restorations during whitening procedure in addition to the possibility of replacement of the bleached restorations at the end of bleaching treatment.
