Has anybody had their teeth bleached by their dentist? If so, is it painful? I hear it is. Please help!??


Answers: it is verrry painful. i just got my braces off and i had to get my teeth bleached becuase there are some line marks on my teeth from the braces. it feels like all ur teeth are falling out and needles poke-ing all over your gum. its very horrifying. i will never get my teeth bleached every again in my life. GOOD LUCK~
it is painful if they do not have a good dam built to protect the gums...it can burn the hell out of your gums. As a rule, this is not a problem, but I had it done, and their was some burning. Good luck
I work at a dental office, and I had my teeth bleached there with the 1 hour in office whitening procedure. It should not hurt. If it does, it's my guess they didn't do all the steps properly. There is a pasty material applied to your gums to block the whitening gel from getting on them. If this is done carefully then there is no reason it should hurt. It's a very painless procedure. Afterwards your teeth can be sensitive to hot and cold though, so be careful with that for a couple days.
Everyone's experience is different. More often than not, yes it causes some discomfort . Personally, it hurts like hell, you can't breathe or drink without zinging for a couple of days & you tend to drool a lot for some reason. But it's the price you pay for beauty & it's worth it after the initial adjustment to pain.
All effective whitening processes cause the tiny tubes in your tooth enamal to open, causing increased sensitivity. Each individual has a different level of discomfort - some minor, some very painful.

A treatment of fluoride before and after such a treatment does wonders for the sensitivity. A dental office doing Zoom or other brands of in-office whitening should offer fluoride trays to reduce discomfort.
