Sensitivity to your teeth
During the first day after teeth whitening it is normal to experience sensitivity. The sensitivity is usually mild. We stock an extensive range of bleach to ensure we use the right bleach for you
Gum irritation
Gum irritation may be caused when whitening treatment touches your gums. A burning sensation can occur and this is a very minor problem that will subside quite quickly post treatment. Keeping the area well-hydrated and occasionally using topical anaesthetics will resolve the problem effectively.
Damage to nerves
A problem that we don’t see very often due to our comprehensive exam is that of nerve pain after teeth whitening treatment. If you have decay, a broken tooth or a cracked tooth teeth whitening treatment could lead to nerve pain. As a general rule your dentist will correct these concerns prior to you undergoing any teeth whitening treatment to minimise the risk of any discomfort.
