Can I Whiten With Sensitive Teeth?
There are always options for brightening your smile. If your enamel has eroded due to grinding or been damaged by physical trauma, using fluoride toothpaste for several weeks prior to whitening will reduce sensitivity. Fluoride remineralizes your enamel to make it thicker and stronger. This ultimately reduces twinges and makes whitening a more comfortable process.
Hoffman Dental Care also offers Sapphire whitening, which protects teeth with a desensitizing gel. This system has helped many who have experienced sensitivity in the past. If you’d like to learn more, just get in touch!
