Zingers pain @ three weeks post whitening

DF1231Dec 15, 2017
I’ve had sensitive teeth for years and recession on two lower front teeth. All noted in my records but no one warned me about pain from opakescence 20% gel to ready teeth befire replace two crowns on the top. Pain started days after I stopped bleaching. (Only 5 Times. Only half the amount of gel in trays) I’ve had gluma (1x), Seal & Protect (2x) and this week, composites on exposed roots (2 days relief).Yesterday it started again. I’m terrified . Root canal? What can be done?

If Peridex (chlorhexidine) mouthwash was recommending after scaling for bleeding, it can stain your teeth. However, this can be easily polished off by a dental professional.

Just looking at the picture or photo, small decays can not be diagnosed. See a dentist for clinical exam, xrays and consult.

Whitening will not work if your teeth are old,yellow or grey,so thats why imagine your smile with something that will make you look 10 years younger,like porcelain crowns.can be done in just a couple of days, and you will love the results.
