Teeth whitening trays are a great example of do-it-yourself teeth whitening solutions. They are really easy to use, and you can do them from the comfort of your own home. One major concern about trays, however, is tooth sensitivity. Most people experience some degree of tooth sensitivity after using a whitening tray, but in most cases sensitivity can be reduced or avoided after using trays. With almost 18 years of experience in the teeth whitening industry, Xiamen Yizhou manufactures teeth whitening trays that are designed to minimize sensitivity. Knowing the causes of sensitivity and how to manage them can help you safely enjoy the teeth whitening trays.
Why do teeth whitening trays cause sensitivity?
Teeth whitening trays can cause sensitivity for two main reasons. The first is that the whitening gel that is used in the trays can penetrate tooth enamel, and irritate the dental nerves. This is especially true for those who already have thin enamel, and gel sensitivity can be worsened by improperly using the trays by leaving them in for too long or using a higher concentration gel. Xiamen Yizhou’s teeth whitening trays are designed to mold to your teeth which reduces gel spillage and gum contact.

Tips to manage and avoid teeth sensitivity when using whitening trays
When it comes to sensitivity, the best approach is to be preventive. Start by brushing and flossing to remove plaque and food particles so the whitening gel can work its best and will not get stuck in any sensitive spots. If you have sensitive teeth, use a whitening gel with a lower to moderate concentration. To start, wear the trays for 30 minutes, and if no sensitivity is felt, you can gradually increase the time. To help reduce irritation to the teeth, avoid consuming hot, cold, sugary, acidic food and drinks right after using the whitening trays.
Tips on how to deal with tooth sensitivity
If you feel slight sensitivity, like a tingling feeling, when you take your teeth whitening trays, it’s ok, just don’t use them for 1-2 days to give your teeth a rest. Use a sensitivity toothpaste with potassium nitrate or fluoride to help soothe your tooth’s nerves. If you have questions, you can ask customer service for advice, or adjust your wearing schedule to use a whitening gel with a lower concentration. Usually, your teeth can remain sensitive for a short time and it will be able to be solved without compromising the whitening process.
