Are the non medical centers for teeth whitening secure? I mean for the gums and teeth safety, they're cheaper than whitening at a doctor's clinic that's why I'm asking

It's always a better idea, if you want to get something done, to do it at a professional's or someone who has more experience in it. Non medical centers can be safe, but do not understand the necessary precautions that special cases should have.

there is a certain level of whiteness that should not be exceeded, otherwise it weakens the teeth and gives the person a very artificial aspect.

also aesthetically, people search for "the whiter the better look" which is a very common misconception.

Moreover, if a non medical center "messes" up the result or whatnot, they have no one to account for and you're in on your own...

It's always a better idea to go to the professional even if it could cost a bit more, at least you know that you're in a safer condition in terms of result and consequence.
