Will this harm tooth enamel?

I'm not sure. I personally have sensative teeth a little and I can only leave it on my teeth for 5, maybe 10 minutes, or else I get a really bad pain in my teeth. If your able to I would just ask your dentist.

Not that I'm aware. I've had no problems so far and will continue to use it.

Sorry I can't say to this as I have only cleaned eyeglasses (which were amazingly clean and lots of dirty water afterwards), watches and jewelry. Ask your dentist if this would be a good idea as the materials might matter which product you use.

I would say yes. It say ok for baked enamel , chrome, glass, glaed ceramic glazed porcelain, laminated surfaces, plastic stainless steel and vinyl . I would use it especially if you don't want to get the flu.

Hi :) I would hightly recommend that you don't use this product. I have healthy gums and teeth, and this gel literally burned like crazy! I had to remove it - and I have a super tolerance to pain! If I were you, I would stick to the Crest strips :)

From what I read it doesn't absorb the calcium salts that tooth enamel is made of so it shouldn't. I only use it for 5 days at a time . It does a fabulous job of whitening. Not unnatural chiclet whitening but a noticeable difference.

Yes, if you dilute it down to the correct percentage (0.12% is common for dental use, although one product uses 0.5%). It may stain your teeth, though, as some chlorhexidine mouthwashes do; to reduce chances of staining, brush teeth thoroughly before using the mouthwash. The chlorhexidine gluconate is not bitter and does not sting my (unusually sensitive) eyes [was using it on itchy scalp and got it in my eyes]. May have some perfume in it, my gallons (from Vedco) do, but not that big a deal. Good Luck!

I doubt it without chipping the enamel, and I'm not sure why you would want to. It's not very large, is not noticeable, and it shows you have a higher quality tub.

You have to be careful with anything that's overly abrasive. If you someone brushes with something like activated charcoal every day for a year, you're going to certainly do irreversible damage to the enamel of the tooth. Once enamel is brushed away, the yellow-tinged dentin beneath is revealed. Once that happens, there's nothing you can do to regain the white look of enamel, other than restoring the tooth. As with traditional whitening treatments, it's probably best to brush with activated charcoal once or twice a year.

Seeing as how it sends an electrical pulse through the teeth I would not try that. I would advise you not to try it either.

No it doesn't scratch the enamel. It has a little grit, no much. By far the best tooth past I have ever used

Yes! I think you get two bigger syringes of bleach. You only need a tiny bit in each tray or you'll burn your gums.

Certainly! I would recommend Biotene Toothpaste after whitening because it helps close the pores in enamel while providing plenty of fluoride and it it more gentle than the regular toothpaste.

I don't know if it is but can't really see how it could damage one. I've only used it to clean a solid gold ring and plastic/metal gaming miniatures.

I don't know but wouldn't risk it. I can tell you that I want to the dentist last week and for the first time ever my teeth and gums were in excellent shape! I have been religiously using it after brushing my teeth and it's so easy and much more faster than flossing. A former dental school teacher said that I should floss a little after using it, but when I do there is rarely anything left behind. Highly recommend.

I have not been affected by the citric acid in this mouthwash and I have been using it for years. My dentist has not notice any change on my enamel. If in doubt ask your dentist on your next visit if you decide to use this mouthwash.

We just rinse it out with soap and water. Hydrogen peroxide works on many oral products, but I'm not sure if it will damage the plastic. I'm sure mouthwash (i.e. Listerine) would work, too.

Absolutely not. This is just used to clean your gums and get food particles from between your teeth.
