im worried teeth bleach will make my teeth too sensitive

Q. I have a bridge at the front and considering having it replaced with a whiter colour and having my teeth bleached. Im worried it will make my teeth too sensitive and i wont b able to keep up with bleaching when nec. do u have any advice i’d b v grateful. Thank you.

A. Hi C,

In my experience any sensitivity associated with whitening, is transitory. It settles down relatively quickly during the process, and any sensitivity is generally manageable with a standard painkiller.

Make sure you have the bleaching done before the bridge, since the bridge will not change colour and its always easier to match the colour of the bridge to the teeth, rather then the teeth to the bridge.

Hopefully that should address your concerns.
