Bleaching for sensitive teeth

The causes of pain with classic peroxide bleaching

Classic peroxide bleaching can often cause toothache, especially in people with sensitive teeth. The main reason for this lies in the nature of the bleaching agent used. Peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which are often used in bleaching products in the dental practice, can change the pH value in the mouth and temporarily demineralise the teeth. This leads to the necks of the teeth, which are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature and pressure, being exposed.

In addition, the bleaching gel applied during professional bleaching can penetrate microscopic cracks in the tooth enamel. This allows the bleaching agent to penetrate to the dentin, where the nerve endings are located. This results in increased tooth sensitivity and pain after teeth whitening. Irritation can be exacerbated, especially in the case of pre-existing gum disease or if dental care is not optimal, for example if teeth are not brushed regularly or thoroughly.

It is therefore important to discuss possible risks with the dentist or our specialist staff at the ALPINE WHITE Studio before any planned tooth whitening and to find out what precautions can be taken. For example, some dental practices use potassium nitrate in their bleaching products to reduce sensitivity. In any case, people with a tendency towards tooth discolouration and a predisposition to tooth-related pain should be cautious and opt for gentler alternatives to enhance the natural whiteness of their teeth. To avoid pain, come to ALPINE WHITE and try our in-office bleaching.

Discover gentle ALPINE WHITE bleaching

Here at ALPINE WHITE, we have developed a solution that is both effective and gentle on your tooth enamel. Our whitening services in Switzerland are also ideal for people with sensitive teeth and do not use any harmful peroxides.

Why is our whitening ideal for sensitive teeth?

Sensitive teeth can have a major impact on daily life. Cold food, hot drinks or sweet snacks often lead to unpleasant sensations of pain. Many traditional whitening methods use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which can attack the enamel and irritate the gums, further increasing sensitivity.

ALPINE WHITE uses a gentle formula without these harsh chemicals. Our treatment ensures that you achieve naturally white teeth without pain. Due to the absence of peroxides, the structure of your teeth remains untouched and you do not have to worry about hypersensitivity after the treatment.

The whitening treatment process at ALPINE WHITE

• Appointment booking and needs analysis: Book an appointment conveniently online and fill out our health form. This allows us to optimise the treatment to your individual needs.
• Bleaching: In our stylishly furnished studios, you will experience a pain-free treatment that leads to whiter teeth in just one session.
• After the treatment: Immediately after the treatment, we recommend avoiding strongly colouring foods and drinks for 24 hours in order to achieve the best possible result. Please note that bleaching is a process and you should repeat the bleaching, as well as our products are the optimal supplement.

• Effective: Visible whitening of the teeth, adapted to your personal tooth colour.
• Safe: Performed by experienced dental professionals and using safe, peroxide-free formulations.

Who is bleaching not suitable for?

Our whitening treatment is suitable for almost anyone who wants a brighter smile. However, there are some exceptions where we would advise against bleaching treatment:

• Erosions on the front teeth: Risks associated with acid-induced damage
• Initial lesions and advanced caries: why bleaching can be problematic
• Defective fillings: Challenges with bleaching
• Plastic abutments and dentures: Bleaching and its limitations
• Periodontitis: The risks of bleaching for gum disease
• Excessive tartar: An obstacle to effective bleaching
• Excessive bleeding gums: Complications when applying a gingival barrier
• Very thin enamel: caution is advised when whitening teeth
• Very light-coloured teeth: When bleaching becomes unnecessary

Optimise your result

To achieve the best result, we recommend booking a professional teeth cleaning with us before bleaching. This prepares the tooth surface ideally for the whitening treatment. After the treatment, you can continue to optimise your smile with our whitening strips and special whitening toothpaste. You should also visit us regularly for a refresher.

Bleaching is a process

Bleaching should not be seen as a one-off event, but rather as an ongoing process. Just as coloured hair needs to be re-coloured regularly to maintain its luminosity, bleached teeth also require repeated treatments to achieve and maintain the desired radiant whiteness. With regular treatments in our Studio, you can ensure that your teeth are not just temporarily whitened, but remain permanently bright white.
