Dental Whitening Series: How to stop sensitivity before it starts.

Sensitivity (that sharp twinge we get when the teeth are exposed to hot or cold) can occur with any type of whitening. If you are not yet sensitive prevent it with this trick: two weeks before your whitening appointment, start brushing with toothpaste infused with potassium nitrate.  This agent blocks pain signals from the nerve.

MI Paste and MI Paste Plus are available through our dental office and can be helpful in reducing sensitivity.  MI Paste and MI Paste Plus can help soothe sensitivity while providing nourishing minerals to tooth surfaces.

MI Paste and MI Paste Plus are the only products for professional use containing RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP), a special milk-derived protein that releases vital minerals into your mouth (calcium and phosphate; also fluoride in MI Paste Plus).

MI Paste and MI Paste Plus relieve sensitivity by protecting dental nerve endings by forming a buffer against plaque. MI Paste and MI Paste Plus can also help redeposit those lost minerals back into the oral environment. MI Paste and MI Paste Plus are excellent for tooth sensitivity due to cold air, hot and cold drinks, sweet and sour food or drinks.

Both sensitivity toothpaste and MI Paste or MI Paste Plus are terrific for stopping sensitivity prior to whitening your teeth. Our office also places a desensitizing agent, which reduces any post whitening sensitivity, as the final step to our Laser Whitening.
