Is Peroxide Safe For Enamel?
🎙️ Whitening Wednesday Episode 90: Is Peroxide Safe For Enamel?
📣It’s Whitening Wednesday! ✨ New month energy — happy October! 🍂 Extended wedding season is still rolling, so fingers crossed you’re busy-busy. Today we tackle the question you get nonstop: is chairside whitening actually safe for enamel?
⏱️ Timestamps
00:00 – New month vibes + extended wedding season
00:59 – When the backend gets wild, socials dip (relatable)
01:58 – Cross-border chaos: duties/tariffs & shipping headaches
02:50 – Negative-margin parcels & why it’s tricky to serve US orders
03:41 – Q4 mindset: goals for the last 90 days
04:42 – Topic intro: Is teeth whitening safe for enamel?
05:35 – Sponsor: Fern Whitening Supplies (holiday retail bundles: pens, kits, scrapers, flossers, bamboo brushes, peppermint mouthwash)
06:37 – Why the debate exists (biased takes in dental circles)
07:39 – Story: provider confrontation about blended gels (HP/CP)
08:36 – Claim: carbamide “unsafe” — but they still use it 🤔
09:40 – Another attack from a white-label supplier (same myth)
10:34 – Handling criticism & the quick “snip the snake” mindset
11:26 – What patients actually ask vs. provider pushback
12:21 – The real question: do HP/CP damage enamel surfaces?
13:16 – Human trials vs. lab trials: no in-vivo enamel damage shown
14:17 – 2021 U of T headline: “damaging effects on dental cells”
15:19 – Details: ~10% CP (~3% HP) collab w/ UK; context matters
16:25 – Historical bad techniques = sensitivity (not inherent danger)
17:14 – Internal bleaching background & collagen concerns
18:08 – If protocols are safe, we shouldn’t be reaching the pulp
19:00 – “Enamel protein loss → pulp cell mortality” (lab conditions)
20:06 – What a dentin perfusion chamber is (lab model, not mouth)
21:12 – Real-mouth factors: saliva, pH, remin; CP breaks down over ~6+ hrs
22:11 – Why that lab model isn’t representative of chairside reality
23:32 – Enamel usually isn’t the issue; overexposure irritates pulp
24:40 – How to answer critics: ask for in-vivo evidence, not clickbait
25:30 – Build a simple patient FAQ: enamel strength, safe protocols
26:24 – UK peroxide skepticism + podcast anecdote
27:21 – Bias exists; keep it factual and brief
28:04 – Create a quick FAQ/PDF you can hand out or email
28:51 – Some won’t be convinced — and that’s okay
29:55 – Final verdict: peroxides used safely for years; technique > hype
