Sensitive Teeth And Whitening: What To Do?

By Wright Smiles

When you really want a whiter smile but you have sensitive teeth, you may feel extremely protective of your smile and worried about making the wrong choice. You may hear little rumors that when you whiten, it can cause sensitivity. In some cases, this is true. In others, it’s not really something you need to feel overly concerned about. At the moment, the details you’re missing include which types of treatments and choices to avoid and which path to take, so you can enjoy a vibrant smile that feels A-OK. Our Southlake, TX team can certainly help you out with this dilemma that you will soon have figured out.

Avoid Whitening Toothpastes

You definitely want to avoid toothpastes that are formulated to whiten your smile if you are hoping to do something about your sensitive teeth. Many of these toothpastes are too harsh for your smile and most certainly aren’t providing you with the benefits you can expect from a toothpaste that’s made to limit sensitivity! You also won’t see much whitening!

Avoid OTC Whitening Treatments

When you’re throwing an over-the-counter (OTC) product into your shopping cart that has a primary purpose of whitening your smile, you’re making the wrong decision. This can cause even the strongest and healthiest of teeth to feel bad. So, you really don’t want to use these if you are someone with sensitive teeth. What you do want to do if you feel sure about attaining a smile that’s no longer discolored? Let our practice know you’re interested in cosmetic care!
