If you have sensitive teeth, the idea of whitening them might sound uncomfortable. Fortunately, it is possible to whiten sensitive teeth safely and effectively. At Dental Solutions in Jonesboro, Dr. Lauren Harmon-Grantham and our outstanding team offer options tailored to patients with dental sensitivity.
Whitening for Sensitive Teeth
While over-the-counter whitening kits can trigger or worsen sensitivity, professional teeth whitening for sensitive teeth is carefully designed to minimize discomfort while still delivering excellent results. These treatments use lower-concentration gels, customized application trays, and added desensitizers to protect enamel and nerves.
How to Whiten Sensitive Teeth Safely
Dr. Harmon-Grantham recommends an initial consultation to assess your level of sensitivity and determine the best course of action. For some, an in-office whitening session with desensitizing agents may be the best route. For others, a slower at-home regimen using custom trays and milder whitening gel could be ideal.
Before whitening, it’s also wise to strengthen your enamel using sensitivity toothpaste for a couple of weeks and avoid hot or cold foods for a couple of days before and after treatment.
