Tooth Whitening and Sensitivity

Non-professional or over-the-counter tooth whitening systems often give unsatisfactory results. In addition, over-the-counter tooth whitening systems can cause tooth sensitivity due to chemical reactions in the enamel.

Tooth sensitivity can be alleviated by the use of a desensitizer applied directly to your teeth by your dentist. These desensitizers offer months or years of relief from tooth sensitivity. Always discuss an increase in your tooth sensitivity with your dentist because it may indicate another dental problem that is totally unrelated to whitening your teeth, such as tooth decay or gum disease.

Professional tooth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures performed in this country every year. Advancements in technology and delivery systems make beautiful, sparkling white teeth a possibility for everyone. Professional tooth whitening restores your teeth to their original color that may have dimmed with aging, staining from food and drink, tobacco products and some medications.

Professional tooth whitening systems administered in-office, such as those at Smiles by Sands Cosmetic and Family Dentistry are safe, effective and provide dramatic, lasting results. There are also at-home whitening systems available, that when used under the supervision of a dentist, are also a safe, effective and convenient alternative.

Please contact Dr. Jamie Sands and Dr. Jason Sands at Smiles By Sands Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Studio City, California today if you suffer from tooth sensitivity and learn what they can do to alleviate your problem and offer the best tooth whitening system for your needs.
