People Who Should Not Undergo Teeth Whitening:

  1. Pregnant and breastfeeding women: Teeth whitening products are generally not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding because the chemical substances they contain may harm the mother or the baby.
  2. Individuals under 18 years of age: Teeth whitening is generally not performed on individuals under 18. Teeth and gums may not have completed their development at this age, so the whitening procedure could cause damage.
  3. Individuals with cavities or fillings: For people with cavities, extreme sensitivity, or large fillings, the whitening process can cause further damage to the teeth. It is not recommended to perform whitening before cavities are treated.
  4. Individuals with gum disease: In people with gingivitis or other gum diseases, the whitening process can harm the gums and make the treatment process more difficult.
  5. Those with very high tooth sensitivity: People with high tooth sensitivity may experience pain and discomfort after the whitening procedure. Whitening should not be done until the sensitivity issue is resolved.
  6. Individuals with oral infections: If there is an active infection in the mouth (e.g., an abscess), the whitening process could cause the infection to spread. The infection must be treated before whitening.
  7. Individuals whose teeth are too dark to be whitened due to genetic or natural reasons: For some individuals, the teeth whitening process may not be effective due to their tooth structure and genetic factors. Particularly limited results may be obtained for people with a naturally very dark tooth color.
  8. Those with dental prostheses or porcelain veneers: The whitening process only affects natural teeth; it does not change the color of fillings, veneers, or prosthetic teeth. Therefore,
