Are Whitening Pens Safe for Sensitive Teeth?

If you’ve ever experienced tooth discomfort caused by sensitivity, then you know just how difficult it can be to find the right whitening treatment. Often, it’s tradeoff between using a product that either whitens or helps limit sensitivity. Fortunately, there are whitening options available that help tackle both issues. And whitening pens can bring even more to the table in terms of convenience, ease of use, and stunningly bright results. Here’s what to look for in a whitening pen that’s safe for sensitive teeth.

Enamel-Safe and Effective Teeth Whitening Pen

Most whitening pen options are generally safe to use on sensitive teeth. However, some may still cause tooth discomfort or gum irritation before and after application. That’s because most whitening pens use a peroxide agent as the main whitening ingredient. Typically, the higher the peroxide amount in the formula, the more likely the whitening method can cause sensitivity. However, unlike other whitening pens, Crest 3DWhite Teeth Whitening Pen is designed differently—with ease-of-use and effective whitening in mind.

The enamel-safe formula features the same whitening ingredient dentists use, for safe and convenient daily whitening. Plus its precision applicator makes it easy to apply, simply twist, brush on, and go!

Complete Your Whitening Routine for Sensitive Teeth

To help keep your mouth bright and healthy, be sure to pair your whitening pen with a thorough oral care routine that focuses on strengthening enamel and protecting gums.

Brush 2X Daily for 2 Minutes: Consider brushing with a whitening toothpaste like Crest Gum & Enamel Repair Advanced Whitening Toothpaste. The foam formula helps to repair enamel, neutralize plaque bacteria, and lift surface stains.
Floss 1X Daily: Pair traditional floss with an oral irrigator to boost your gum care while removing more food particles and plaque.
Add a Rinse: Swish with a whitening rinse like Crest 3D White Diamond Strong Mouthwash to further protect enamel and brighten up your smile.
Keep Your Dental Appointments: Make sure to see your dental professional at least twice a year for professional cleanings and checkups.
