However, many people are also worried about the side effects of tooth whitening. Actually you do not need to worry.
Studies and research have proven that teeth whitening methods do not cause adverse effects on the teeth or gums. The only problem that may arise is pain or tooth sensitivity.
Tooth sensitivity is characterized by pain every time the tooth exposed either hot or cold foods, such as hot coffee and ice cream.
Many people who undergo teeth whitening procedures or using whitening products having this condition, but generally only lasts for 48 hours.
Anyway, if you have tooth sensitivity, then there are several things you can do are:
1. Use a toothpaste containing potassium nitrate in it. Potassium nitrate can help calm the nerves of your teeth.
2. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles or buy a toothbrush specially designed for people with sensitive teeth.
3. Consult with your dentist about tooth sensitivity issues so he can recommend the right product. One of the recommended products are products that contain fluoride.
4. If you still experience tooth sensitivity after a few days, it is advisable to stop the bleaching procedure for at least one day to allow teeth to get the nutrients it needs.
