Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?

Teeth whitening at Dr. Vahid Bashi’s office prioritizes comfort, with adaptable treatments for sensitivity, ensuring a brighter smile without discomfort. Learn more in this educational video.

It’s a common concern that teeth whitening might cause pain or sensitivity. Indeed, some individuals may experience sensitivity, especially those with gum recession. Gum recession exposes the tooth’s root, which lacks the protective enamel, making it more susceptible to sensitivity from temperature changes, acidic foods, and the whitening process.

The whitening products we use are formulated with patient comfort as a priority. They are applied with a custom-fitted tray, ensuring controlled and even exposure to the whitening agent. Should you experience notable sensitivity, the treatment is adaptable, allowing for pauses to let your teeth recover. This flexibility means you can halt the whitening process temporarily and resume later, adjusting how often and how long you use the product based on your comfort level. This tailored approach aims to minimize discomfort while still delivering the whitening results you desire.
