WHY ARE MY TEETH SENSITIVE AFTER WHITENING?
Professional tooth whitening is a popular procedure as most of us want brighter, whiter smiles. Some tooth whitening methods can cause temporary pain or discomfort, but tooth sensitivity after whitening is a different condition to tooth sensitivity caused by exposed dentine. If you experience such discomfort you should speak to your dentist.
If you have sensitive teeth and are looking for a toothpaste that relieves sensitivity and removes stains effectively, or you have had whitening treatments and want to keep the stains away, brushing with a toothpaste containing potassium nitrate helps to soothe the nerves inside your teeth by preventing them from sending sensations to your brain. Sensodyne whitening contains this ‘nerve calming’ ingredient and is specially formulated to remove stains effectively.1
If you have had whitening treatments and are concerned about tooth sensitivity you should speak to your dentist.

WHITENING FOR SENSITIVE TEETH
If you already experience tooth sensitivity you should get advice from your dentist before whitening sensitive teeth.2 If you are considering whitening for sensitive teeth your dentist is also the best person to advise you about your options.
If you do have sensitive teeth, it’s worth bearing in mind that whitening treatments are not the only option to help restore the natural whiteness of your teeth. Brushing twice daily with new Sensodyne whitening helps to remove stains for whiter teeth, while also delivering long lasting sensitivity protection.
