Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some temporary sensitivity is common after whitening and usually subsides within 24-48 hours. We use desensitizing treatments before and after the procedure to minimize discomfort. If you have pre-existing sensitivity, we can adjust the treatment protocol. Using toothpaste for sensitive teeth in the weeks leading up to your appointment can also help.
