Tooth Whitening and Sensitivity
Over-the-counter tooth whitening kits often produce unsatisfactory results with the added problem of creating tooth sensitivity due to chemical reactions with the tooth enamel.
A tooth desensitizer applied directly to your teeth by a dentist can help to alleviate sensitivity and offer months or years of relief. An increase in tooth sensitivity may signal another dental problem not related to tooth whitening, such as tooth decay or gum disease, so be sure to mention this to your dentist at your next visit or sooner if possible to avoid an even bigger problem.
Advances in the technology of professional tooth whitening systems administered by a dentist or monitored by a dentist have made the possibility of sparkling, white teeth available to all. Teeth that have been discolored by aging, staining from food, drink, certain medications or tobacco products can be restored to their former brightness or even better by professional tooth whitening products.
At Smiles By Sands Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, professional tooth whitening products are safe, effective and provide dramatic and lasting results. There is an at-home whitening system available, that when used under the supervision of Dr. Jamie Sands or Dr. Jason Sands, is a safe, effective and convenient alternative to the in-office system.
Please contact Smiles By Sands Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Valley Village, California today and learn more about tooth whitening systems and which system is the right choice for you.
