In this video, Dr. Chris Powell explains whether teeth whitening is painful and what to expect in terms of temporary sensitivity during the process.
People often wonder if teeth whitening is painful. Occasionally, some sensitivity may occur, such as when I whiten my own teeth, I might experience slight sensitivity in one or two teeth. This sensitivity is usually temporary, lasting only a couple of days. The reason for the sensitivity is that the whitening process removes stains embedded in your teeth, leaving tiny empty spaces.
