Teeth whitening can cause tooth sensitivity, but undergoing tooth whitening under the supervision of a professional dentist can help lessen sensitivity. It may be tempting to pick up an over-the-counter tooth whitening kit for convenience, but these kits are not customized for your particular needs.
When undergoing tooth whitening from a dentist, they can customize the strength of the whitener if you have sensitive teeth. They can also suggest strategies to help minimize sensitivity.
In-store kits also don’t contain custom trays to apply the whitening agent to your teeth, meaning that your teeth won’t be whitened evenly, and the agent may end up on your gums, potentially causing you pain. At North Tampa Dentistry, you’ll undergo an evaluation with one of our experienced dentists, and we’ll create a custom treatment plan just for you. Then, we’ll send you home with a custom take-home whitening kit. The Philips Zoom system gently whitens up to eight shades and is created to minimize sensitivity.
