Teeth Whitening for Sensitive Teeth

Dentists are often hesitant to recommend whitening treatments for those sensitive to whitening, especially for those with gum disease. Since, 80% of sensitivity often starts at the gum line, your dental professional will encourage you to treat your gum disease until it's healed before starting a whitening program. Similarly, if you have dental problems such as cavities, your dentist will likely recommend that you get them filled before beginning a whitening regimen. The good news is that many dental problems are fully treatable. Once your dentist feels your teeth are in good condition, chances are, you'll get the green light to pursue your perfect smile.

There certainly is hope for those with sensitive teeth who are also pursuing a beautiful white smile. Using the same ingredient dentists use in a less concentrated formula, Crest 3D White Whitestrips Gentle Routine offers subtle whitening in a mild formula, in only five minutes per day. While your road to the perfect smile may be a bit more challenging than for some, whitening treatments for teeth sensitive to whitening can be painless and effective if you follow the appropriate protocol.

Using certain home teeth whiteners can be temporarily uncomfortable if you have teeth sensitive to whitening. Everyone's teeth and gums are different.

Although the discomfort caused by some home teeth whiteners is usually mild and temporary, for some people it becomes too much and starts to interfere with everyday activities like eating and drinking. It's not harmful, however, and while some people do experience temporary discomfort after using a home teeth whitener, most people do not find it severe enough to discontinue use of the product. If you have found that your teeth are sensitive to whitening, know that there is a product out there made just for you.

Crest 3D White Whitestrips Gentle Routine is a great option for those who have teeth sensitive to whitening and are still looking for the ease and effectiveness of a home teeth whitener. The recommended time period for wearing them is only five minutes a day, once a day (compared to 30 minutes with other products). With Crest 3D White Whitestrips Gentle Routine, even people with teeth sensitive to whitening can achieve noticeable results and enjoy a whiter, brighter smile.
