Is Teeth Whitening safe for your teeth? 

American Dental Association recognizes safe and effective whitening options are available for in-office applications, dentist-supplied products for use at-home and over-the-counter whiteners. According to American Dental Association (ADA), the in-office option involves application of a peroxide-containing gel, used with or without a light intended to accelerate and enhance the bleaching process. Some studies indicated that light-activated systems produced better immediate whitening than non-light systems when used with lower concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (15-20 percent vs. 25-35 percent).
