Get compliments about your teeth everywhere you go. A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. You now have choices that can help you smile with confidence. Tooth whitening brightens teeth that are discolored or stained. Bleaching may be done completely in the dental office or the dentist may dispense a system for you to use at home.
The ADA list only one tooth whitener product (10/2009), and that is "dentist dispensed for home Use." Opalescense Whitening Gel 10%, by Ultradent Products, Inc.
Res. 80H-2009 directs the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs, in conjunction with the ADA Council on Government Affairs, to actively advocate to federal agencies that fund, promote or perform research that they pursue research on the safe levels of agents used for tooth whitening as a priority matter. It also calls for the CSA to develop guidance based on the scientific evidence on the safety of agents used in tooth whitening products and publish and distribute it to constituent societies in order to assist them in their efforts to effectively advocate for the protection of the public.
Res. 45 was referred to the CSA for study and report to the 2010 HOD. It would direct that the ADA encourage the FDA to require warning labels for medications that cause dry mouth and a resultant increased risk of tooth decay.
