It's estimated 66% of all people experience tooth sensitivity to some degree; however, the severity varies by person. If you periodically experience tooth sensitivity with hot and cold beverages then it is likely you will benefit from our desensitizing gel.
What causes sensitive teeth?
Sensitive teeth have always been one of the biggest reasons people go to the dentist. Even though teeth have a very strong outer shell (called enamel), they still find ways to crack, wear down, and chip off.
There are many causes of sensitive teeth. A few common reason include: brushing your teeth too harshly, eating too many acidic foods, drinking too much soda pop, grinding, or chipping off a piece of your tooth.
When it comes to teeth whitening system or bleaching, don't be alarmed if you experience sensitivity a few hours after treatment (usually in your smaller teeth). This sensitivity is largely due to the fact that the peroxide (bleaching agent) has reached the nerves in your tooth. This is common, and normally goes away within after 24 - 48 hours.

What do I do if I am suffering from sensitive teeth?
Good brushing and flossing are the cornerstones of any healthy mouth. But even that isn't always good enough - sometimes, despite our best efforts, our diets of over-processed foods can degrade our hard work.
One easy solution is to try our desensitizing gel. Apply the gel to your custom-fitted mouth trays and leave it on your teeth for a few minutes. The gel seeps in through the pores of your enamel and sooths the pain. If you suffer from sensitive teeth but want to undergo a teeth whitening procedure, this is far and away the best course of action.
Otherwise, it's all about prevention. Eat lots of natural foods that strengthen your teeth. Anything rich in calcium (cheese, milk), fluoride (fish, green tea), and phosphorus (fish, eggs and meat) are also strong allies. Desensitizing toothpaste, like Sensodyne, is also recommended. There are so many solutions and ways to prevent the problem, there's no reason you should live in pain.
