Sometimes teeth become sensitive after whitening treatments. If this happens to you, there are ways to reduce the pain.
Use toothpaste for sensitive teeth: Sensitive toothpastes are made from raw materials such as potassium nitrate, which reduces sensitivity pain.
Gum: Scientists have found that more saliva is produced when chewing gum, and that chewing distracts people from pain.
Leave the teeth whitener on for a while: Rest your teeth and don’t use whitening products.
Use of anesthesia: You may use anesthesia for 10 to 30 minutes after each use of whitening agents.
Diet change: Avoid eating very hot or very cold foods for several days in a row.
Change your toothbrush: Using a soft toothbrush is useful in treating sensitive teeth and gums.
