Managing Post-Whitening Sensitivity without Derailing Treatment

Ansleycolton12 Sep, 2025Business

Tooth sensitivity arises when dentin is exposed through enamel wear, gum recession, cracks or recent dental work. Fluids in open tubules transmit temperature & chemical changes to the nerve. Any whitening plan should start with a clinical exam to rule out decay, fractures or leaking restorations. Sensitivity may also follow recent cleanings or orthodontic adjustments, which should be considered when scheduling whitening sessions carefully.
