Professional teeth whitening may cause minimal or temporary tooth sensitivity, but this is not super common. Our dental team takes special measures to protect the gums during professional teeth whitening. It is typically gum exposure to the whitening product that causes sensitivity.
If you’re using one of our custom take-home kits, be careful not to overfill the tooth receptacles with whitening gel, as this can spill onto gum tissue. When whitening your teeth at home, if you notice sensitivity, you can also forego whitening for a few days and brush with fluoride toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth.
About Professional Vallejo Teeth Whitening
We use prescription-grade whitening systems customized especially for you.
First, the dentist ensures you’re a good candidate for whitening. Next, we may recommend teeth cleaning to promote better whitening results.
Your dentist recommends trusting your teeth whitening to dental professionals. Over-the-counter systems and internet hacks can lead to prolonged sensitivity, poor or uneven results, and even enamel damage.
With our products, we can safely and dramatically remove brown and yellow tooth stains evenly for sought-after results. Ask your dentist what you can expect from teeth whitening.
