Why 35% and 44% Carbamide Peroxide Gels Are Unsafe for Home Use

Higher-strength carbamide peroxide gels (35% and 44%) are marketed for fast whitening but come with serious risks.

Dangers of High-Strength Whitening Gels at Home.

Increased Risk of Tooth Sensitivity – Higher concentrations can weaken enamel and expose dentin, leading to painful sensitivity.

Gum Irritation & Chemical Burns – The strong peroxide levels can cause painful burns on the gums and soft tissues.

Uneven Whitening & Overbleaching – Excessively high concentrations can cause an unnatural, blotchy appearance due to uneven bleaching.

Permanent Enamel Damage – Misuse can erode enamel, making teeth more prone to decay and long-term discoloration.

Potential for Accidental Ingestion – Swallowing highly concentrated peroxide can lead to stomach irritation and other health issues.

Professional-Only Usage – These strengths are designed for in-office use in the USA and other countries with specialised application techniques to minimise risks. Strict supervision during applications is vital.
