Tooth sensitivity can be reduced by using a desensitizing toothpaste, applying sealants and other desensitizing ionization and filling materials including fluoride by your dentist, and decreasing the intake of acid-containing foods.

Most will experience some level of sensitivity. We suggest that you purchase a toothpaste which contains 5% potassium nitrate, and place it in your whitening tray and wearing it for 20 minutes. The teeth may seem more sensitive the first two minutes, but after leaving it on the teeth there will be little to no sensitivity for several hours. Then use the whitening gel less frequently. NO.

The most common cause of tooth sensitivity is the existence of a cavity or recession of the gum line, which may be associated with abrasion of the tooth in this area. If the sensitivity involves an area or side of your mouth this could be due to clenching and grinding. When a cavity (decay) is not treated early on, the decay process extends to involve the nerve of the tooth. This becomes inflammed and in most situations will require root canal treatment.

Teeth become sensitive when their nerve endings become exposed. Neither tooth enamel nor the ‘cement’ covering the root have nerve endings, but in some teeth, gum disease, excessive brushing, tooth grinding or general wear can expose nerve endings in the dentine. This makes the tooth sensitive to touch and to hot, cold and sweet things. Toothpastes for sensitive teeth, can really help by protecting the exposed nerve endings. See similar questions...

Teeth whitening for people with sensitive teeth is still an option. Most dentists will recommend a milder version of the whitening gel if the patient chooses the take-home method. Many patients who have issues with sensitive teeth prefer the one-hour in-office teeth whitening method as it is much faster, produces immediate results, and requires the bleaching gel to stay on for a much shorter period of time.
