Everything no one ever explained about teeth whitening.
At Dr. Adrián Sarria’s Clinic, we know there are many doubts and myths surrounding teeth whitening. The most common one? 👉 “It wears down your enamel!”
The truth is, when performed by professionals using advanced techniques and clinically approved products, whitening does NOT harm or wear down your teeth.
✔️ It doesn’t alter your tooth structure
✔️ It doesn’t cause long-term sensitivity.
✔️ And yes, it brings back a brighter, more confident smile.

Trying it at home with DIY products or without professional supervision. That’s why, if you’re considering whitening your smile, make sure to do it with a team that combines expertise, technology, and ethical care.

Though they may seem harmless, some “natural hacks” can seriously damage your teeth:
• Baking soda with lemon or vinegar:Highly acidic and abrasive. It erodes enamel, weakens your teeth, and increases sensitivity.
• Activated charcoal:Touted as a “natural whitener,” but too abrasive—it can scratch enamel and lead to more staining over time.
• Hydrogen peroxide or homemade bleaching solutions:Used without supervision, it can burn your gums and soft tissues, harming your oral health long term.
• Strawberries, bananas, or orange peels:They may sound healthy, but there's no scientific evidence they work. Their acidity can actually erode enamel with frequent use.
👉 Your smile’s health is not a DIY experiment.
Always trust safe treatments, backed by professionals and performed with state-of-the-art technology.
