Hey there, smile enthusiasts! We're diving deep into the world of tooth sensitivity—a topic that's no stranger to many of us, especially when it comes to teeth whitening. We're here to demystify the sensation, offer some insight into why it happens, and of course, spill the beans on how to manage it like a pro. So, get cosy, and let's embark on this tooth-sensitivity journey together!
The Science Behind Tooth Sensitivity
Ever felt that zing of discomfort when sipping a hot cup of coffee or biting into an icy treat? That's tooth sensitivity waving hello. It's like your teeth's way of letting you know they need a little extra TLC. Tooth sensitivity often occurs due to exposed dentin—the sensitive layer beneath your enamel. When dentin is exposed, stimuli like temperature changes or even sweet treats can trigger those sensitive signals.
Sensitivity and Teeth Whitening: Friends or Foes?
Now, let's address the elephant in the room: teeth whitening and sensitivity. You might be wondering if those pearly whites you're after come with a side of sensitivity. Truth be told, some teeth whitening methods can cause temporary sensitivity. Peroxide-based products, for instance, may trigger this reaction in some individuals.

Managing Sensitivity Like a Pro
