Teeth Whitening Sensitivity? Double White

Can White Strips Make Your Teeth Sensitive? Double White Explains

Understanding Teeth Sensitivity

Teeth sensitivity, characterized by sharp, short-lived pain in response to hot, cold, sweet, sour, or acidic substances, is a common concern, especially when undertaking teeth whitening treatments. The enamel, the outer protective layer of your teeth, is primarily responsible for protecting the dentin, a layer beneath that contains tiny tubules leading to the tooth's nerve. When the enamel is compromised, whether through erosion, abrasion, or whitening treatments, these tubules become more exposed, making the nerve more susceptible to stimuli. The use of teeth whitening strips, while effective at brightening your smile, can sometimes increase tooth sensitivity if not used correctly or if you have pre-existing sensitivities. This is why choosing high-quality products like those offered by Double White is crucial for minimizing potential side effects.

How White Strips Can Contribute to Sensitivity

The active ingredient in most teeth whitening strips, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, works by breaking down stains on the tooth's surface. However, this process can also slightly demineralize the enamel, making the teeth temporarily more permeable. This increased permeability is the key factor in why some individuals experience sensitivity after using whitening strips. The bleaching agents can penetrate deeper into the tooth, reaching the dentin and stimulating the nerves within. This is more likely to occur with overuse of whitening strips, using strips that are too strong, or with prolonged application times. Double White's commitment to research and development ensures our whitening strips are formulated to minimize sensitivity while maximizing whitening results. Our products utilize advanced formulations and careful consideration of peroxide concentration to achieve optimal results safely.

Minimizing Sensitivity with Double White Whitening Strips

Double White prioritizes your oral health. Our teeth whitening strips are designed with advanced formulations to reduce the risk of sensitivity. We utilize lower concentrations of peroxide compared to some competitors, reducing the potential for enamel erosion and subsequent sensitivity. We also incorporate innovative ingredients that help protect and remineralize your teeth, further minimizing sensitivity. Always follow the instructions carefully to ensure proper and safe use of our products. Applying the strips for the recommended duration and avoiding prolonged use is paramount in protecting your tooth enamel. Regular use of fluoride toothpaste, alongside the use of our whitening strips, can also help strengthen your enamel and reduce sensitivity.

Preventing Sensitivity Before You Start Whitening

Before you begin any teeth whitening treatment, including the use of whitening strips, it's important to establish a baseline of your oral health. A dental checkup is highly recommended. Your dentist can assess the health of your enamel, identify any pre-existing sensitivities, and provide personalized advice on how to proceed safely. If you have sensitive teeth already, your dentist may recommend strengthening treatments before whitening. They can also guide you on the best approach to whitening while minimizing potential sensitivity. Double White encourages proactive dental care for optimal results and the preservation of healthy teeth.

What to Do if You Experience Sensitivity

If you experience sensitivity while using whitening strips, the first step is to stop using them immediately. Give your teeth a break, allowing your enamel to recover. You can also try using a desensitizing toothpaste specifically formulated for sensitive teeth. These toothpastes contain ingredients that help block the tubules in the dentin, reducing sensitivity. Rinsing with warm saltwater can also help soothe irritated gums and reduce any inflammation. For persistent or severe sensitivity, it’s crucial to consult your dentist. They can assess the situation, provide appropriate treatment, and recommend alternative whitening methods if necessary. Remember, prioritising your oral health is key.
