It's common for people to find that their teeth are more sensitive after using a teeth whitening treatment. This extra sensitivity is usually temporary, lasting only a few days or so. However, it can persist for an extended period in some circumstances. If you find that your teeth are more sensitive after using a teeth whitening treatment with hydrogen peroxide in it, whether it's at home or in the dentist's office, there are a few things you can do.
If you need to know right away what to do with sensitive teeth after whitening, the first thing you can do is switch to the CustMbite Teeth Whitening Kit and Gentle Whitening Foam, which is made especially for people with sensitive teeth and gums.
There are a few things you can do to help your sensitive teeth after a teeth whitening session. But before we look at what to do for sensitive teeth after whitening, let's look at why some people have more teeth sensitivity than others.
The outer layer of your teeth, the enamel, wears away as time goes on, potentially exposing the more sensitive layers beneath. Enamel can't be restored, so eventually, most people end up with sensitive teeth. Some things that contribute to enamel deterioration are consuming acidic foods and drinks, brushing your teeth too aggressively or with too firm a toothbrush, and bruxism (teeth grinding).
You can mitigate or even prevent post-whitening teeth sensitivity by being careful regarding your treatment and what you do before and after using it. The following suggestions can make whitening easier on your teeth:
Use a product with lower levels of peroxide. The CustMbite Whitening Foam contains an 8% carbamide peroxide solution, which is gentle on your teeth and helps prevent excessive sensitivity after whitening.
Limit consuming highly acidic drinks leading up to your whitening treatment, as they may make your teeth more sensitive.
- Use products like toothpaste and mouthwash made for sensitive teeth. These products contain ingredients like HAp, strontium, and arginine, which help seal the exposed dentin layer and support enamel remineralization. Toothpaste for sensitive teeth is less abrasive than other toothpaste. Use it with extra soft toothbrushes, which are gentle on enamel.
- For the first few days after using the CustMbite Teeth Whitening Kit, avoid foods and drinks that are likely to irritate your teeth. These include anything that's too hot or cold; drinks like tea, coffee, wine, soda, and citrus fruits; sugary foods and drinks that can feed acid-producing bacteria; foods that stain your teeth like red sauce, blueberries, and blackberries; and tobacco products. As your tooth sensitivity returns to normal, you can slowly add back hot, cold, and other potentially irritating foods.
- Talk to your dentist if you're concerned about the potential adverse effects of tooth whitening. Since they know your dental history, they can help you make the right decision.
Because the whitening foam contains such a low percentage of carbamide peroxide, you can use it more often throughout the day or even sleep with it on.
It's easy to use—you just add up to a full pump to our teeth whitening trays and spread it out evenly across your customized trays. The first thing you do when you get our teeth whitening kit is custom-fit the trays to your upper and lower teeth. Using the whitening foam with them keeps the foam on your teeth. As long as you use the right amount, it won't spill over onto the soft tissue of your gums, avoiding additional irritation.
CustMbite Whitening Foam is mint flavored, so when you use it, it leaves you with minty-fresh breath.
It's easy to clean your whitening trays with our All Natural Oral Appliance Cleaner. This cleaner is made with a safe, natural formula that includes tea tree oil, menthol oil, and distilled H2O. It cleans and sanitizes your whitening trays between uses. It comes in an easy-to-use spray bottle so you can just spray, wipe, rinse, and your trays are ready to use again.
