At BMB Dental Clinic, we offer safe and effective professional teeth whitening treatments to patients. Our experienced dentist oversees all bleaching treatments, whether you’re undergoing chairside or home bleaching.
While bleaching can cause tooth sensitivity for some patients, professional bleaching services from our Mona Vale dental practice should not damage your teeth in any way. Even home bleaching kits provided by our clinic should not damage your teeth when used appropriately and as instructed.
However, the bleach should not be used on your gums, so be careful to avoid letting it run onto your sensitive gum tissue.
Why Do My Teeth Hurt After Bleaching?
People who have a history of sensitive teeth may experience a bit of pain when their teeth are exposed to cold after bleaching. Again, this is due to tooth sensitivity.
When you whiten your teeth, the bleaching process can open the orifice of the dentin tubules, which is the opposite of what occurs when you use toothpaste for sensitive teeth. The open orifices make your teeth sensitive to cold.
Safe Bleaching in Mona Vale
The safest way to whiten your teeth is under the supervision of a dentist. If you're looking to achieve a brighter smile, we encourage you to contact our BMB Dental Clinic to schedule a consultation with Dr. Babak Moharrami, a trusted dentist in Mona Vale.
