Each individual has unique characteristics, and while a majority of individuals do not encounter any sensitivity or pain during a professional teeth whitening treatment, there are exceptions. Although this cosmetic procedure is generally considered to be minimally invasive, it is possible to experience mild discomfort during and after the procedure. To alleviate any potential discomfort, it is recommended to consume beverages at room temperature for a few days following the teeth whitening. Additionally, over-the-counter pain medication, commonly used for headaches, can also be taken if needed. If you have a history of sensitive teeth, our dentist may opt for a milder whitening formulation or suggest an alternative procedure.
