How long does teeth sensitivity last after whitening?


Teeth sensitivity will last for as long as you keep using the whitening agent but it is unlikely that you will experience it as long as a month or two following your treatment.


The duration of teeth sensitivity after teeth whitening will be determined by how well you follow the instructions given to you by your dentist. If you were proactive about the instructions and the materials, then it is possible to keep teeth sensitivity away for a couple of weeks. But if you feel discomfort from tooth sensitivity, then it may be best to follow up with your dentist.

Dentures are a removable appliance that fits over natural teeth. They are used to cover gaps in the mouth due to missing teeth or as a substitute for missing teeth. A partial denture is a removable appliance that covers some of the surfaces of your natural teeth. Dentures are made at a dental laboratory and involve the dentist taking an impression of your mouth and sending the impression to the lab which will create a denture that is custom-made for your mouth. This may require an additional appointment with the dentist or a specialist. Partial dentures are used when one or more teeth are missing from the upper or lower jaw.
