unfortunately for me my mother passed on the habit of grinding my teeth at night. so the enamel is missing on the tops of the front four bottom teeth. i really need to know if this is going to weaken my teeth further. i used the crest whitening for a little while but they hurt my teeth. how much does the denist whitening cost does insurance cover anything and is is safe for me as well?
Whitening at the dentist , is it safe? i have sensitive teeth already.?
I don't know any insurance that covers whitening because it is considered cosmetic. If your teeth are sensitive then you should start using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. I always have my patients use it for 2 weeks before they start whitening and then continue to use it while you are whitening. I grind my teeth as well and I bleached my teeth but I could not keep it on as long as suggested because of sensitivity so it took me a little longer to get them as white as they could be but it helped out. It just might take you a little longer like it did with me.
Reply:if your teeth already hurt with gentle whitening in toothpastes, then don't do any professional whitening! In the whitening process, a layer of the outside enamel of the tooth is removed showing the newer whiter enamel underneath. it really does make your teeth weaker and more sensitive.
I had one sensitive tooth, and my dentist recommended disncontiniung whitening toothpastes altogether and he gave me some fluoride to use on the tooth.
