6.
Will it hurt?
At The WPC, we evaluate your teeth and give a proper treatment plan for your teeth whitening needs. Our teeth whitening products don’t usually create sensitivity but everyone is different. If you experience sensitivity periodically without the use of whitening treatments then it is recommended to visit your dentist before coming to see us.
8.
Will whitening burn my gums?
Apart from whitening your teeth we take the proper precautions to protect your gums as well.
H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) can irritate the gingival tissues and create chemical burns if a gingival barrier is not placed correctly. A chemical burn on the gums can take 4-6 weeks to heal properly with the proper care from a dentist/periodontist. Caring for your gums is one of the many ways to visit a dental professional for whitening.
