Possible Sensitivity After Whitening

It’s normal to experience mild tooth sensitivity or gum tenderness for a short period after professional whitening. This happens because the whitening process temporarily opens the pores in your enamel, making teeth slightly more responsive to temperature changes.

The sensitivity usually settles within 24–48 hours, and can be eased by:

Avoiding very hot or cold foods and drinks for the first day or two

Using a sensitive toothpaste (such as one containing potassium nitrate or fluoride)

Taking over-the-counter pain relief if needed (as advised by your dentist)

Maintaining good oral hygiene without overbrushing

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we use Zoom’s advanced desensitising technology and take-home care products to help minimise discomfort while achieving bright, lasting results.
