I have sensitive teeth, can I still get laser teeth whitening?

Question

My teeth are mildly sensitive to hot and cold, would I need to take precautions before treatment?

Santiago Lopez, DDS · Answer

It is a reality that whitening treatments can give sensitivity to patients after the treatment is completed, however, the majority of patients can prevent this sensitivity by using a prescription strength fluoride toothpaste, they can start using it two weeks prior to the whitening appointment, and also there is a special paste that the zoom treatments have, its called ACP and its basically a highly concentrated desensitizer that is applied through the treatment on the back surfaces of the teeth that are getting whitening. This help tremendously and it allows patients to have their teeth brighter with very minimum sensitivity.
