Sensitivity from whitening comes from the hydrogen peroxide chemically reacting with your teeth. This is the active bleaching agent. We offer multiple levels and strengths of whitening agents. Some are peroxide based and others PAP+ based!
What does this mean? If you're extremely hypersensitive, let's get to the bottom of it & treat your sensitivity. Next we can look at what the best whitening option for you is.
