Myth vs. FactMyth: Whitening is not safe for your teeth.

Fact: Tooth bleaching has proven to be safe and effective way of achievinga more youthful and healthy-looking smile. In fact, the ADA has lent itssupport and approval for enhancing the esthetics of ones smile via officeand home bleaching. Like anything, it can be abused, and cause adverseresults. During the time that you whiten, the fluoride-rich layer of theenamel is broken down and the teeth become porous, making themmore susceptible to the acids and sugars in your mouth. Within 24-48hours your tooths enamel will re-mineralize and build up that

protective fluoride-rich layer again. If you become a whitening junkie, andnever give your enamel the chance to re-mineralize, then you can cause longterm adverse effects to you teeth.

Answer to DAT Practice Question:

The breakdown of a disaccharide releases energy, which is

stored as ATP. This is an example of an (d) exothermic reaction.

An exothermic reaction releases energy, whereas asn endothermic

reaction requires energy. The breakdown of a chemical compound is

an example of a decomposition reaction (AB !A + B). A

combination reaction (A + B !AB) is the reverse of a

decomposition reaction, and a replacement (displacement) reaction

is one where compound breaks apart and forms a new compound plus a free

reactant ( AB + C !AC + B or AB + CD !AD + CB).
