Treating sensitive teeth after teeth whitening

      Comments Off on Treating sensitive teeth after teeth whitening

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.
