The cosmetic dentistry office of Dr. Cannilla offers both take-home and in-office professional teeth whitening options. A common question asked by many of our teeth whitening patients is how does take-home whitening differ from in-office? While both forms of teeth whitening are equal in their effectiveness, they do differ in some respects.
Pain is a way for our bodies to communicate with us. When you feel tooth pain, essentially what’s occurring is the nerves in the pulp chamber at the center of the affected tooth or teeth are responding to stimuli and relaying a warning in the form of a sensation. This sensation may range from minor and passing to throbbing and constant. Tooth pain can be a sign of one of a variety of issues, so it’s important to stay on top of your oral health and listen to the signs your body is giving you.
