Teeth bleaching absolutely does not thin teeth enamel

Michael J. Thomas, DDS answers: Can teeth enamel be thinned by teeth bleaching?

Is there a possibility for enamel to be minimized through teeth whitening or bleaching?

Absolutely not. Imagine how many times we would be sued if every time we performed teeth whitening the enamel got thinner. Of course, if you use an acidic rinse from over the Internet to whiten your teeth, then yes.
