Progressive at home
whitening
If you want to have a home tooth whitening systems like whitening strips or
bleaching trays, you must start out with a limited amount to test the
sensitivity of your gums and teeth.
-
Control the amount
Don't use too much whitener as this can ultimately lead to persistent pain
and ongoing tooth sensitivity. Also, apply the whitener with care and do not
allow it to enter into areas where your gums are receding. Do not looking
for a quick whitening results in minutes.
-
Use milder versions
If you already know you have sensitive teeth, severely receding gums, or
defective restorations, you should be used sparingly and milder versions
should be applied with extreme caution.
If you plan to have a professional teeth
bleaching in office :
-
Brush with a high
fluoride toothpaste a few weeks before office bleaching
Brush with a high fluoride toothpaste or rinse with a mouthwash that
contains fluoride a few weeks before your office bleaching. Fluoride helps
strengthen the outer enamel of your teeth. Some dentists may also advise you
to take an ibuprofen such as Aleve before and after the procedure.

If you already know you
have sensitive teeth, severely receding gums, or defective restorations, you
should be shared it with your dentist. So your dentist will adjust the
amount of bleaching peroxide.
