Dr. Skoulas can also provide you with dental trays and a whitening agent for home treatment if you have sensitive teeth and want to break the treatment into two or three shorter sessions.
Will My Teeth Be Sensitive After Teeth Whitening?
A common problem after teeth whitening is increased sensitivity. Patients are more likely to experience this if their teeth do not have much enamel or are sensitive to other dental procedures. In this case, Dr. Skoulas recommends whitening your teeth at home over the course of a few days or a week so that you are more comfortable.
How Does Dr. Skoulas Reduce Sensitivity from Teeth Whitening?
To reduce the discomfort you feel after treatment Dr. Skoulas has developed aftercare that includes:
- Remineralizing toothpaste to seal dentin and replace lost calcium.
- Informing you of foods and drinks that cause increased sensitivity.
- Suggestions for a gentler toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss.
After your procedure, Dr. Skoulas can review in-depth instructions that will minimize your sensitivity and help you enjoy your results.
If you want to brighten your smile and remove stains, call Dr. Skoulas’ San Francisco office at (415) 757-0110 to schedule a teeth whitening consultation.
