American Dental Association Petitions FDA To Classify, Regulate Tooth-Whitening Products

The American Dental Association (ADA) asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to establish appropriate classifications for tooth-whitening chemicals. Citing concern about the safety of whitening products that are often administered without the benefit of professional consultation or examination by a dentist, the Association said that the application of chemically based tooth whitening or bleaching agents can harm teeth, gums and other tissues in the mouth.
