Oral-B Pulsonic Sonic Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush
Amazon Price: Too low to display
Customer Review: This is a rather mediocre electric brush compared with other Oral-B products (such as the Triumph, which is excellent) or any of the Sonicare line of brushes. Limited power and battery life, so-so erg...

Ultreo Ultrasound Toothbrush

Customer Review: I got this toothbrush because at my last dental visit a couple of months ago the dentist said I would be needing an ultrasound cleaning next time if I didnt get to flossing more. So I said hmmm unltra...

Philips Sonicare R732 HealthyWhite Power Toothbrush
Amazon Price: $116.42
Customer Review: For those of you, who have never used a Sonicare toothbrush, I highly recommend it. I am old enough to have gum issues and using Sonicare halted degeneration and, in some cases, improved it. Aside f...

WaterPik FLA-220 Power Flosser, Battery Powered (Colors May Vary)

Customer Review: What is wrong is simple. The tips are so flimsy it is like trying to get tissue paper beyween your teeth. It is a TOTAL RIP OFF. Any one who wrote a positive review either is being paid by the compa...

WaterPik FLW-110 Power Whitening Flosser (Colors May Vary)
Amazon Price: $14.99
Customer Review: I have braces and thought this product might be easier than using a "threader" to floss. I think the whitening thing is a bit of a gimmick, but it does a reasonable job of flossing. However, when I t...

Has Tooth Whitening Been Linked To Oral Cancer?

It s generally difficult to establish whether or not something is harmful to us and no more so than with tooth whitening. There have been many articles over the years which have highlighted possible risks from the chemicals used in the tooth whitening process, namely hydrogen peroxide and carbmide peroxide.

Tooth whitening is achieved through bleaching the tooth and therefore tooth whitening products contain bleaching agents.

Carbmide peroxide (1/3rd of which is hydrogen peroxide) is mainly used in professionally applied tooth whitening products and often in conjunction with excellerants to ensure the perfect colour is achieved in a very short period of time. The tooth whitening procedure involves the application of peroxides to the teeth using a tray but with each application bleaching agent leaks into the surrounding areas of the mouth.

Some studies have shown that less than half of the tooth whitening bleaching agent is in the bleaching tray at the end of the treatment which suggests a significant amount of leakage with some tooth whitening products.

There have been studies which have indicated that peroxide used in tooth whitening promotes the growth of cancerous tumors although all tests to date have been on animals and not humans.

Tests are not conclusive but it has been noted that there is a growing trend towards tooth whitening and along with it an increase in oral cancer in young people. However, studies and incidences of possible links between oral cancer and tooth whitening have been limited and there is no concrete evidence that tooth whitening, when performed correctly, increases the risk of oral cancer.

The long-term effect of excessive tooth whitening is not yet known.

Although there is no conclusive evidence that tooth whitening can cause oral cancer it must be said that, given the nature of the products used in the bleaching process, it is advisable to avoid excessive use of tooth whitening products.
