Post-Whitening Sensitivity: Why It Happens and How to Treat It

Andresenprosthodonti05 Nov, 2024Health

"Teeth sensitivity following whitening treatments is more common than many realize. This discomfort often arises because the whitening agents temporarily weaken tooth enamel. When enamel is compromised, it leaves the sensitive inner dentin exposed to outside elements. If you feel tingling or pain when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods after whitening, this sensitivity is likely the cause. It’s uncomfortable, but fortunately, it’s usually temporary."
