Stainless Teeth the Painless Way!

without comments

If your teeth are wincing while you brush, that means that your teeth are too sensitive to whiten. Fortunately there are ways in which teeth can be whitened the painless way.

Start Preparing Early

To reduce the discomfort, use a toothpaste that contains potassium nitrate for six weeks before the lightening treatment.

Take it Slow

The most popular method of whitening, the dentist dispensed mouth trays start showing results in a brief period of a week, if you wear them overnight. But, incase your teeth are sensitive then, it can take forever. Instead, ask for a lower concentration of bleach and wear the whitening tray every other day for a few hours.

Go for Zero

Ask your dentist for a low or zero sensitivity bleaches that are now available. These products actually promise no pain.

Get a Primer Coat

For extremely sensitive teeth, the dentists can paint on a liquid desensitizer.

Avoid Store-bought Bleach Kits

The mouth trays that are available in the market rarely fit properly and can make the bleach leak out. It is also a good idea to see a professional, rather than self treat, since some stains actually indicate a decayed or abscessed tooth.

Eventhough your teeth are sensitive, you can still flash a mesmerizing smile…
