Dentist in Mukilteo: Three Ways to Reduce Teeth Whitening Sensitivity

Three Ways to Reduce Teeth Whitening Sensitivity

Http://www.HarbourPlaceDental.com

One of the common consequences of teeth whitening procedures is dental sensitivity. The teeth become sensitive and this makes it painful to ingest hot or cold beverages or foods. However there are some ways you can reduce this problem.

  1. Protect your Teeth In Advance

Before commencing a teeth whitening treatment plan, it’s best to protect your teeth in advance by using fluoride treatments or desensitizing gels or toothpastes. For example, you can brush your teeth with a fluoride gel for one to two weeks before whitening your teeth and this will prevent or greatly reduce teeth sensitivity. If you are going to have your teeth professionally whitened at your dentist’s office, you can use the desensitizing gel or toothpaste for two weeks before the appointment.

  1. Choose a Gentle Teeth Whitening Plan

Another way to reduce teeth sensitivity is to pursue a gentle and gradual teeth whitening plan, instead of trying to achieve immediate results with potent products. You can do this in two ways: either use low-concentration products or decrease the frequency of use. For example,

  • You can use a product that has 3% hydrogen peroxide, instead of one that has 5% peroxide.
  • You can keep teeth whitening strips on your teeth for 15 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
  • You can use teeth whitening kits 2-3 times a week instead of everyday.
  1. Use OTC analgesics

Before you start a teeth whitening treatment either at home or at your dentist’s office, it’s wise to have some mild analgesics like Tylenol or Advil on hand.  If you experience teeth sensitivity after the treatment, you can take these 2-3 times a day to help alleviate the pain and discomfort. This will help you get through the initial pain for a few days, until your teeth get back to normal.

It is rather natural to wish to have those ideal shining teeth for a bright smile. It is likewise typical and natural to look for treatments that you could use at your very own time in the comfort of your own home. However prior to rushing to the nearest drug store for those appealing home  teeth whitening/lightening/bleaching kits you should see to it that you have optimum oral health. If you stay in or around Mukilteo WA area do not hesitate to call,  Dentist in Mukilteo Dr. Onishi and the experts at Harbour Place Dental. They will certainly go above and beyond when it concerns helping their patients with ideal dental care and a perfect smile.  (425) 493-8111, or visit them or contact  them through their website or by email: harbourpldental@gmail.com and ask them if at home teeth whitening is right for you and if they have any advice on reducing and/or coping with Teeth whitening sensitivity.
