Sensitive teeth after bleaching?

A radiant smile with white teeth captures everyone's attention. That's why teeth bleaching is becoming increasingly popular. However, the costs of a professional bleaching treatment at the dentist are high, and many people fear the potential pain and damage to their teeth. Healthy dental care is important for all of us and should not be compromised. But does that mean you have to forgo a flawless smile if you have sensitive teeth? Not with ALPINE WHITE In-Office Bleaching!

ALPINE WHITE In-Office bleaching

At ALPINE WHITE, we rely on a painless and safe method for teeth whitening, without the use of hydrogen peroxide. Instead, we utilize Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP), an innovative and gentle alternative. In contrast to traditional hydrogen peroxide, which often leads to sensitivities and gum irritation, PAP provides a milder, pain-free treatment. It reduces the risk of side effects and is thus particularly suitable for individuals with sensitive teeth or gums.

Advantages of in-office bleaching

There are numerous advantages to ALPINE WHITE In-Office Bleaching. As mentioned earlier, you won't experience any discomfort during the bleaching process. This is because our ALPINE WHITE In-Office Bleaching doesn't contain peroxides and gently and effectively brightens your teeth. Another benefit is that our bleaching gel is tooth-friendly, so it doesn't harm the tooth surface or enamel. Additionally, the bleach is gentle on the gums. Therefore, you can undergo the bleaching procedure even if you have sensitive teeth or exposed tooth roots.

Benefits summarized:

  • Effective teeth whitening
  • Without hydrogen peroxides or peroxide derivatives
  • No loss of tooth structure
  • No tooth sensitivity after the treatment

Clinical study confirms success

The latest research findings from the Fraunhofer Institute (2023) confirm the effectiveness and gentleness of our ALPINE WHITE method compared to other bleaching agents, particularly concerning tooth sensitivity and sensitive teeth. It is important to highlight that ALPINE WHITE In-Office Bleaching does not cause significant alterations to tooth enamel, making it an especially gentle option.

For individuals with sensitive teeth or gum issues, this is of great significance as they are often concerned that teeth bleaching may lead to increased sensitivity. The study also demonstrates that ALPINE WHITE is equally as effective as other methods of teeth whitening without jeopardizing dental health. These groundbreaking results not only attest to the efficacy of our method but also its consideration for tooth enamel and dentin, especially in individuals with sensitive teeth. With ALPINE WHITE, our customers achieve a gentle bleaching outcome with effective brightening, all without experiencing sensitive teeth.

How to prepare for bleaching

For optimal results, your professional dental cleaning should have been performed no more than two months before your bleaching appointment. Book an appointment now at our ALPINE WHITE Studio to prepare your teeth as effectively as possible for the bleaching treatment. Our professional dental cleaning not only helps remove discoloration but also ensures that your teeth are free from cavities and healthy.

This is particularly important to avoid tooth sensitivity and toothaches during or after the bleaching. Our gentle bleaching method minimizes the risk of overly sensitive teeth, while the removal of tartar forms the basis for a successful bleaching.

Regular visits for dental hygiene every few months are crucial for preventive oral health and help avoid costly dentist visits with severe pain. Advocate for healthy teeth and a radiant smile – we support you in achieving that!

What you should consider after bleaching

After you have completed the bleaching procedure, it is important to follow some steps to ensure that your teeth remain beautifully white and healthy. This is especially crucial for individuals with sensitive teeth.

  • Avoid consuming staining substances in the next 24 hours after the treatment, such as coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco products, curry, mustard, as well as toothpaste and mouthwashes with colorants. Sensitive teeth may temporarily react more sensitively to external stimuli after bleaching.
  • Brush your teeth 2 to 3 times a day with a fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush with soft bristles, such as our ALPINE WHITE Toothbrush. Don't forget to thoroughly clean your tongue and the spaces between your teeth. Gentle cleaning is particularly important to treat your teeth with care.
  • To maintain the bleaching results, we recommend using our whitening products like the Whitening Strips Sensitive. Use them for the next 7 days and wear them daily for 1 to 2 hours to continue brightening your teeth and prevent discoloration. Our whitening toothpaste will also assist you in keeping your teeth white during your daily oral care routine. For especially sensitive teeth, we recommend our Sensitivity Relief Toothpaste.

By following these steps and paying special attention to the needs of sensitive teeth, you can ensure that your radiant smile remains long-lasting without experiencing uncomfortable sensitivities.
