At-home teeth whitening is one of the most common ways to improve the look of one's teeth. Unfortunately, these teeth whitening methods leave the teeth painful and sensitive to hot and cold. The chemical used is often to blame. The most common active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, is an effective way to break up the stains in your teeth, but it can cause significant pain when used for whitening.
There are a few ways to mitigate the pain that whitening can cause in the teeth, but you guessed it: You won't need to know how to relieve tooth pain from whitening if you never have it in the first place. Enter CustMbite's Teeth Whitening Kit and Gentle Whitening Foam. We designed our products to provide gentle whitening that's just as effective as hydrogen peroxide-based products.
However, if you've already taken the plunge with another product and you've already got tooth pain from whitening, here's a short guide on why your teeth are sensitive and how to soothe tooth pain from whitening.
We can sum up the leading cause of tooth pain after whitening in two words: Hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is the active ingredient in the majority of teeth whitening kits on the market today. It's a powerful and effective way to whiten your teeth, but what makes it effective also gives it the potential to cause damage.
Hydrogen peroxide works by burrowing underneath your enamel to get to the organic matter that causes the stain. Its oxygen molecules break up the stain, making your teeth whiter. Its strength is also its downfall — hydrogen peroxide can bust on through to your dentin, where your sensitive nerve endings are. And that brings us to sensitive, achy teeth. They're whiter…but they hurt. What's to do?
HOW TO RELIEVE TOOTH PAIN AFTER WHITENING
If you're already suffering from whitening pain, here's how to relieve tooth pain after whitening:
- Use desensitizing toothpaste before and after your whitening treatment.
- Use a softer toothbrush.
- Avoid hot and cold food and drink.
- Stay away from acidic food and drink.
- Use fluoride products like toothpastes and mouthwashes.
- Drink through a straw.
While these are just a few answers to how to get rid of tooth pain after whitening, they're a good place to start if you're already feeling tooth whitening pain.
We'll say it again: The best cure is prevention. Using a whitening kit and solution that's designed with sensitivity in mind is a must, but what should you be looking for when you're choosing a kit? Here are two major ways to tell that you're picking up a whitening kit that won't leave you in pain:
The solution. Look for a gentler, yet still effective carbamide peroxide-based whitening solution. You can also choose a foam if you're looking for even gentler whitening.
The whitening trays. You'll want to choose a kit that provides you with customizable bite trays to ensure that the solution stays where it needs to be: your teeth.
