Desensitizing Agent Used Before In Office Bleaching

The article written in October 2009 concluded that using a desensitizing gel before in office bleaching with a strong bleaching agent did reduce patient tooth sensitivity while not reducing the effect of the whitening procedure.  Tooth sensitivity is the most common side effect associated with teeth whitening/ in-office bleaching.  This is good news for people concerned about this possible side effect and would like to have pearly white teeth!
