Sensitive Teeth and Teeth Whitening: What You Need to Know

Fayth Vandenberg

If you have sensitive teeth, you might be hesitant to try teeth whitening treatments due to concerns about discomfort. Sensitivity can occur when the enamel is worn down or when gums recede, exposing the underlying dentin, which contains nerve endings. When it comes to whitening, the active ingredients in many products can sometimes exacerbate this sensitivity, leading to discomfort during and after the procedure.


However, there are options available for those with sensitive teeth. I offer specially formulated whitening products that contain lower concentrations of bleaching agents, making them gentler on your teeth while still providing effective results. Additionally, using a sensitivity toothpaste before and after the whitening process can help minimize discomfort.
