Are You Interested in Teeth Whitening Treatments but Have Sensitive Teeth? We Have a Solution!

If you were to tell your dentist that you have sensitive teeth, you would likely not be a good candidate for a professional teeth whitening treatment. Thankfully, due to new and improved professional bleaching gels, whitening your teeth is safer and more convenient than ever before, even if you have sensitive teeth. When you visit Mark H. Wright, DDS in Colorado Springs, Colorado, you will only need to tell about your sensitive teeth so that Dr. Wright can work with you to determine what whitening solution will work best for you. Dr. Wright offers take-home whitening treatments that allow you to achieve whiter teeth from the comfort of your home using personalized whitening trays.

Start With a Dental Exam

When you want to whiten your teeth, Dr. Wright will need to determine if you are a good candidate. This all starts with a dental exam. If you have sensitive teeth, this exam will allow Dr. Wright to identify the source of the sensitivity. It is estimated that nearly 80 percent of tooth sensitivity begins at the gum line and not within the tooth itself, making it a common symptom of gum disease. Additional causes of sensitive teeth can include:

• Tooth decay
• Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
• Worn or damaged enamel

The good news is that most dental issues that lead to tooth sensitivity can be treated. You can then safely whiten your teeth using a professional strength bleaching gel and an at-home whitening kit.

You may have always thought that getting teeth whitened was only for those without tooth sensitivity, but this is not always the case! Because at-home whitening kits are easier on teeth than laser whitening, you may still be a good candidate.
