Why whitening can lead to sensitivity.

                                Why Whitening could cause sensitive teeth!      

Everybody wants that perfect pearly white smile. Most people resort to whitening products to achieve it. After using the products people tend to gain sensitivity, and don’t understand why. Little do they know it is the whitening that is leading to the sensitivity.

“Whitening increases porosity, allowing thermal stimuli to irate your nerve, therefore raising shockwaves to your brain,” explains Dr. Nicholas G. Zeik of Zeik Dental in Marlboro NJ. Dr. Zeik recommends the following tips to start minimizing sensitivity. Brushing before, not after whitening with desensitizing tooth paste, containing potassium nitrate. Another friendly tip is to increase your fluoride rinsing on a daily basis.
