  2. To have whiter teeth – this is probably the goal of most people. The problem, however, is that it is not as easy as it seems. This is especially true for those who have sensitive teeth. Some dental procedures and even home treatment options can be painful, which is why a lot of people try to avoid it. With this, keep on reading the rest of this post and learn from some of the tips shared by a knowledgeable dentist in Lake Oswego. For sure, they will be helpful in providing you with bright and radiant smile. Address Existing Problems First If you ask any Lake Oswego dentist, you will most probably be advised to not undergo any whitening treatment if you have sensitivity. This, however, does not mean that you will forever not be a candidate for such.

  3. The best thing that can be done is to first resolve the existing problem. More often than not, this is because of having a gum disease. The latter should be treated first and you should be fully healed in order to perform the whitening treatment without pain. Try Clinical Treatments With the help of a qualified dentist in Lake Oswego, you can try various treatments that will help to address sensitivity and provide you with whiter teeth. Among other treatments, one of the most common is the use of topical high concentration fluoride gel. The main purpose of the latter is to avoid pain following the treatment as a result of sensitivity.

  4. This will be effective in blocking up the pores. A bleaching gel can also be used. The treatments can vary depending on individual needs and the chosen approach of the dentist who will be performing the procedure for teeth whitening. Try In-Home Treatments There are also solutions that can be done at the comfort of your own home. However, it is important to proceed with caution, especially because there is lack of professional supervision. There are products that are available commercially. You have to make sure that they use ingredients that are not only effective in whitening but will also address the sensitivity of your teeth. Some of the ingredients that should be avoided include propylene glycol, polyethylene, and silica.

  5. To reduce sensitivity, on the other hand, look for products that contain fluoride and potassium nitrate. Stay away from those with abrasives as they can lead into the corrosion of the enamel. At the end of the day, it will still be best to first consult with a Lake Oswego dentist in order to know the safe options to whiten your teeth in spite of sensitivity. For sure, dental professionals know what is best for you.
