Whitening toothpaste generally does not harm teeth. It contains peroxide substances that help remove pigmentation from the teeth, thereby achieving a whitening effect. It also does not cause imbalance in oral microbiota or any damage to the teeth. However, when choosing whitening toothpaste, it is essential to select products from reputable manufacturers.
