Teeth Whitening That Reduces Sensitivity: Options & Benefits

In-Office Whitening with Desensitizing Agents: Some in-office whitening treatments can be combined with desensitizing agents to reduce sensitivity during and after the procedure. These agents may include potassium nitrate, fluoride, or other desensitizing ingredients.

Custom Whitening Trays with Fluoride: Using custom-made whitening trays with a dentist-prescribed fluoride gel can not only whiten the teeth but also help reduce sensitivity. Fluoride has desensitizing properties that help block the transmission of sensations from the tooth surface to the nerve, reducing sensitivity to cold and hot stimuli.
