Does Professional Teeth Whitening Hurt?

What you need to know about teeth whitening from your Fort Lauderdale dentist

Professional teeth whitening treatments shouldn’t hurt; they have a long history of safety and effectiveness. Not all teeth whitening teeth whiteningtreatments are the same, however. Teeth whitening done by untrained staff in shopping malls can be quite painful and harmful to your smile. Certain over-the-counter whitening products contain abrasive agents and harsh chemicals that can irritate both soft tissue and your teeth, giving you tooth sensitivity. Dr. David Erdman in Fort Lauderdale, Florida wants to help you choose a teeth whitening treatment that can give you a sparkling smile without the pain.

When you choose a teeth whitening treatment, visit a professional like Dr. Erdman. When you see a dentist, you can be assured of the best results, provided safely. One important issue with teeth whitening is that it is done at the right time.

For example, if you have untreated dental issues which are painful, like decay, it’s important to treat these first, because whitening can make the pain worse. Dr. Erdman can treat your dental issue, get you healthy, and then provide the best whitening treatment.

If you want treatment for a non-painful dental issue, like cosmetic fillings or veneers, you should whiten your teeth first to the desired shade, and then match the color of veneer or filling to your newly whitened teeth.

Professional teeth whitening treatments like those provided by Dr. Erdman can whiten your teeth up to 8 shades whiter, and the results can last up to 5 years! Consider these teeth whitening treatments available from Dr. Erdman:

  • Take-home whitening kits, which you can use in the privacy of your home; a great choice for people who want the convenience of choosing when to whiten their teeth
