Yes, it is normal to experience some sensitivity after a teeth whitening treatment. Teeth whitening treatments can cause temporary sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, as well as to pressure. This sensitivity is usually mild and subsides within a few days to a week after the treatment.
There are several reasons why teeth whitening can cause sensitivity, including the exposure of the dentin layer of the teeth, which is more sensitive than the enamel, and the irritation of the gums from the whitening gel.
If you experience severe or prolonged sensitivity after a teeth whitening treatment, it is important to contact your dentist to discuss your symptoms and to determine the best course of action. In some cases, your dentist may recommend using a desensitizing toothpaste or other products to help reduce sensitivity.
