Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity is a common complaint from teeth whitening, even when the procedure is done by a dentist. Whitening products are available in a wide variety of chemistries and concentrations. A patient with mild staining from coffee drinking would not use the same type of whitening as someone whose teeth are stained from antibiotics. Patients that have severe acid erosion from poor diet choices or acid reflux need to take specific precautions. If you have untreated tooth decay, it’s important that the cavity is treated before you expose your teeth to whitening chemicals.
Professional At-Home Teeth Whitening
If you still prefer to whiten from the comfort of your own home, no problem. At-home teeth whitening is as simple as a consultation with your Lincolnshire cosmetic dentist. Our team will send you home with a customized kit complete with whitening trays and professional bleaching gel. Daily treatment for roughly three weeks should give you noticeable results. Not only will you be ensured that your money won’t go to waste, but you will be given a clean bill of dental healthy before your mouth tissues are exposed to the whitening chemicals. If you experience any major sensitivity of your teeth throughout your treatment, you’ll be able to ask Dr. Engelberg for advice.
