Just as with most things in life, overdoing anything can cause issues. If somebody were to bleach too often, her or his enamel would become weakened. The effective agent in teeth whitening is usually peroxide, which can decrease the strength of the enamel. If somebody were to excessively bleach, her or his would develop a bluish or grayish tinge; they would become chalky looking. Most dental whitening products require certain amounts of time that users should wait between bleaching. Two tooth whitening treatments a year is the norm.
