Professional Teeth Whitening with Sensitivity in Mind
Our client using the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser after his treatment.
Tooth sensitivity during or after whitening is common—but it shouldn’t stop you from achieving a brighter, more confident smile. At Grin Whitening Clinic, we take a personalized, comfort-first approach to whitening, offering thoughtful solutions before, during, and after treatment to reduce sensitivity and protect your smile.
Why Sensitivity Happens—and Why It Varies
Every smile is unique, and so is the way each person responds to whitening. Sensitivity levels can vary based on several factors:
Enamel Thickness
Existing Tooth Sensitivities
Frequency and Strength of Whitening
Dental Work or Gum Recession
Diet and Oral Hygiene Habits
Our team considers all of these factors before treatment begins to tailor the experience for your comfort.
What We Do In-Clinic to Minimize Sensitivity
Here’s how we help protect your teeth and gums every step of the way:
Gum Barrier During Treatment – We apply a protective barrier to keep whitening gel away from sensitive gum tissue.
Tooth Desensitizer Post-Treatment – A special formula is applied immediately after whitening to calm nerve endings and reduce “zingers.”
Vitamin E for Home Use – You’ll go home with Vitamin E oil to apply if you feel any discomfort in the hours following treatment.
Minerals Pen – Ask us about our remineralization pen—it's an excellent option to help strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity long-term.
Synapse Dental Pain Eraser – For more immediate relief, we offer the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser in-clinic after treatment. It uses gentle microcurrents to help desensitize teeth quickly and comfortably.
At-Home Care Tips for a Comfortable Whitening Experience
To keep sensitivity at bay, we recommend the following:
Brush gently and avoid flossing for 24 hours post-treatment
Avoid acidic, citrus, or carbonated drinks for at least 24 hours
Fun Fact: Bananas are rich in minerals like potassium, which can help soothe teeth after whitening!
If needed, Advil or Tylenol can help manage any mild discomfort
You’ll also receive a complete aftercare guide with personalized tips to protect your enamel and keep your smile feeling great.
