I am having laser whitening done in a month...and already knew I would experience some pain as my teeth are quite sensitive due to acid erosion. But I've just heard about MI paste plus and want to start using it, however, I wondered if it would effect the results of the laser whitening if I started using it now.

Sensitive teeth

No MI paste will not interfere with the whitening results . GC MI Paste contains RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) which is made from a natural protein extracted from milk. DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO MILK PRODUCTS. RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) acts in a dual manner, by providing a source of calcium and phosphate, while also supplying a soluble format for delivery of these essential minerals to the tooth surface.

Whitening and MI paste go hand in hand

MI paste, as you can see from the dentists who have answered this question, is fine any time for your teeth. My question is what does Laser Whitening mean? We have many dental whitening options and I am wondering if you are asking about BriteSmile or Zoom? There is a product called KOR and it is great without much sensitivity if any at all-Check in to it!!!

MI paste helps to avoid the sensitivity

There are other options to prevent whitening sensitivity

MI paste will help to some extent, but you will need to use it for a very long time (3-6 months) prior to your whitening procedure for it to help with sensitivity. MI Paste uses amorphous calcium phosphate to help "strengthen" existing enamel by infusing calcium & phosphate salts into tooth structure. Research shows that this is not a quick process, and one needs to use the product continuously over an extended period of time to appreciate its beneficial effects.... more

MI Paste is a fantastic product

MI paste has many uses and to my knowledge has not shown to hinder any teeth whitening process. As more research comes out and use is more common we will know more, but I would not hesitate. Take 800 mg ibuprofen 30 minutes prior to the treatment and you should be fine. Any sensitivity will last 24-48 hours only.
