smile and comfort in mind
If you're one of the millions of people worldwide who have attempted to whiten their smile, you may be experiencing post-whitening tooth pain. This is a very common side effect, and we think it's one of the most unpleasant too — especially if you already have sensitive teeth.
CustMbite's Teeth Whitening Kit and Gentle Whitening Foam were made specifically to address the reasons why your teeth hurt after teeth whitening. Below, we'll go over why teeth whitening causes teeth sensitivity and how to avoid it.
Now, the ingredient behind the effectiveness of teeth whitening kits really isn't a surprise to most people: It's generally hydrogen peroxide, a chemical you may already know as an antiseptic for wounds. Hydrogen peroxide contains volatile oxygen molecules (the same bubbles you see attacking germs when you use hydrogen peroxide on a cut).
These oxygen molecules are the same ones responsible for breaking up stains behind your tooth enamel. They react to the stains on your teeth by breaking up the bonds holding them onto your teeth, removing the stain and giving you back your brightest smile. However, the rush of these oxygen molecules can be responsible for making your teeth hurt after teeth whitening.
Dental professionals believe that the cause of your teeth pain after teeth whitening is the effect that hydrogen peroxide has on your tooth enamel and dentin (the part of the tooth that is beneath the enamel).
Hydrogen peroxide goes in hard on stains, blowing most of its effectiveness in the first few minutes. This can weaken the enamel of your teeth, making your teeth more porous and exposing the dentin. When dentin loses its protective covering, its tubules allow heat and cold or acidic foods to disturb the nerves inside the tooth, causing sensitivity.
We've got great news: The answer is “Yes!” The secret is to find a whitening solution that contains a gentler alternative to hydrogen peroxide: Carbamide peroxide.
Carbamide peroxide works in exactly the same way that hydrogen peroxide-based whitening solutions do, but it doesn't make your teeth hurt after whitening. Carbamide peroxide also infiltrates the enamel of the tooth to break up organic stains with the same volatile oxygen particles — but with less ferocity. Carbamide peroxide does its work gradually, releasing its power over time. This helps to reduce the risk of opening up these minuscule channels and causing sensitivity.
