CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH WHITENING SENSITIVE TEETH
So… Can you whiten sensitive teeth? Before we answer that question, let's go over some of the most important challenges associated with whitening sensitive teeth. First off – why do some dentists try to dissuade those with sensitive teeth from whitening? Your dentist might be concerned about your gum disease becoming worse with whitening treatments. Usually, sensitivity begins at the gum line, so your dentist may encourage you to treat your gum disease before beginning your whitening treatment. In addition, some people have something called dentin hypersensitivity, which can be triggered by certain whitening treatments.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR WHITENING SENSITIVE TEETH
If you are experiencing heightened sensitivity after whitening, your first step should be to switch to a gentler, more appropriate whitening product. However, there are a few other helpful tips that can help with this issue:
- Use Customizable Trays: As a general rule, customizable trays are a lifesaver when it comes to sensitive teeth. The good news is that CustMbite's Teeth Whitening Kit comes with customizable trays, and you can continue wearing these trays even after the whitening process is complete to protect your sensitive enamel.
- Drink With a Straw: Another solid tip is to drink with a straw during and after the whitening process. This means that your teeth never actually come into contact with potentially damaging liquids.
- Avoid Certain Foods and Drinks: You should also strive to avoid certain foods and drinks if you have sensitive teeth after whitening. These include hot foods and drinks, cold foods and drinks, and acidic foods and drinks.
- Switch Up Your Toothpaste: Finally, you should try switching to a toothpaste that is better for sensitive teeth. In addition, avoid abrasive whitening toothpastes, as these can damage the enamel of your teeth and make sensitivity worse.
