Does Teeth Whitening hurt?

Question

My mum is going to the dentist surgery tomorrow, to have her teeth whitened, and she is very concerned that it might hurt.

I was just wondering if anybody had tried it before, and if it was painful???

Thanks

Answer 1

Not at all. She'll be real happy with the result.

Answer 2

If your teeth is sensitive its quite painful . My dentist didn't recommend it  

Answer 3

The actual process isn't painful at all, she might have some tooth sensitivity afterwards though but it will go away in a few days, sensodyne toothpaste helps.

Answer 4

she will be fine.don't worry

Answer 5

I'm sure that if it is done by a professional it wouldn't hurt.

I know that home kits really, really hurt.

But dentists know exactly what they're doing, so I wouldn't worry x

Answer 6

I haven't had my teeth whitened at the dentist but have used a home kit and all I can say is that if she suffers with sensitive teeth then it may exacerbate this. It doesn't hurt but may feel uncomfortable for a little while. But usually there are no problems so I'm sure she will be fine.

Answer 7

My dentist told me that it does weaken the strength of the your teeth.
