I just answered that question in whanda, thought it might help others,

The question was:

WHY DO I HAVE TEETH SENSITIVITY AFTER TEETH WHITENING?

WHY DIDN’T  MY TEETH WHITENING LAST?

In my opinion, do not use over the counter whitening products , having said that you need to see a cosmetic dentist, to check if you do have any micro fractures, or micro cracks,? is there any recessions of gums or gingivae? if so you need to be tested re sensitivity!! or evaluate if you need dental bondings on the root area PRIOR to start your teeth  whitening!! is there any abfractions ?
also if there is internal or genetic discoloration ? if so whitening would not help much.
are your gum pockets in good shape? Is there any inflammation of gums, or gum disease prior to teeth whitening procedure?

and is there any leaking fillings in your mouth!
sometimes teeth whitening can cause more damage unfortunately , depending on the concentration of the bleach product.,, and does not help your wants at all !! also depending on your eating and drinking coffee , tea, red wine , etc …. ,you might be defeating the purpose of receiving your white smile.
First thing make an appouintment with a Cosmetic dentisit for a complete evaluation.

Reconstructive Dentist deals with bite dimension, and possibly altering the distance between the chin and nose.This alteration is done to:

1)Improve esthetics and cosmetic by altering facial form/or tooth and gum display.

2)To gain space for restoring short worn out teeth., by increasing the occlusal vertical dimension., meaning making the back teeth longer, consequently creating space to make the front teeth longer.

There are several areas of concern,

First being TMJ (temporol mandibular joint), the literature is clear that in most cases if TMJ was comfortable before the procedure , then the joint will be comfortable with the altered length.Also the lack of back bite can significantly increase the load on the joints.

Second concern is the EFFECTS ON SPEACH, particularly the S sound.Usually in one to four weeks patients will learn to reprogram their speech patterns to any alterations, The COSMETIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE DENTIST ,evaluate this clinically by simply having the patient say “66″ or “77″,and see if the front teeth touch during the sound, if so,usually shortening the front upper or lower teeth is indicated.

The RECONSTRUCTIVE ,or FULL MOUTH DENTISTRY , requires and interim period of temporization and observation in conjunction with evaluation before the final cosmetic teeth are fabricated.FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION as the name implies is to redo all your teeth ,and give them a healthy cosmetic lift.FULL MOUTH RESTORATION DENTISTRY, may need ,porcelain veneers, or dental veneers,porcelain crowns , or caps, possible periodontal surgery, or gum surgery, dental implants, porcelain inlays  onlays, or veneer overlays or onlays and possibly orthodontics.

Teeth whitening or invisalign alone can not accomplish full mouth reconstruction.You can look at FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES , in www.celebritydentist.com

If you think you are a candidate for FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office, or call 310-550-0383.

Lets face it, accidents can happen, and especially when it comes to our teeth, SMILE and mouths, they can be pretty frightening. Being careful is good a prevention, but being prepared makes you confident about and possible oral health emergency. Its important to know when home care will suffice and when a trip to the dentist is necessary. If you are ever in the situation that makes you feel like you need to speak with your dentist, call the office, your dentist should provide a day to night time number. If you call during non-business hours, voicemail will give instructions about how to reach the on-call dentist. With that in mind, here are some guidlines to help you through common situations:

Toothache/Sore Gums: Rinse with warm water to remove any food or debris; if you notice anything lodged between teeth, floss to remove it. Take an over the counter pain medication (but never apply the medication directly to teeth or gum), see the dentist if the pain persists.

Chipped or Broken Tooth: Save the pieces, if you can, rinse them thoroughly. Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the swollen lip or gum tissue near the chipped tooth to prevent swelling. If the area is bleeding, apply gauze for ten minutes, or until the bleeding has stopped. Call your cosmetic dentist immediately.You can possibly have a dental bonding , porcelain inlay or porcelain onlay treatment done to salvage your tooth.

With recent advancements in full mouth dentistry and cosmetic dentistry, you might not lose your tooth. If there’s enough remaining healthy tooth structure, there are several treatment options that may eliminate the need for root removal. While the success of these procedures depends on the severity of the break, it’s worth asking about options other than complete removal. I highly recommend you contact your cosmetic dentist.

Knocked Out Tooth: Depending on the situation, find the tooth, make sure not to hold it by the root, and rinse it briefly with warm water. If possible, gently reinsert the tooth into the socket and bite down on gauze or cloth to keep it in place. If you cannot reinsert it, place it in a container of milk or mild salt water solution. Call your cosmetic  dentist as soon as possible-if treated within 2 hours, the tooth may be salvaged.

Soft Tissue Injuries: Soft tissues such as gums, cheek, lips, and the tongue tend to bleed heavily, only because the tissue contains a great deal of blood flow. To control the bleeding, first rinse with warm, mild salt water solution. Apply pressure with gauze or a moistened towel for 15 to 20 minutes. Afterwards, to reduce swelling and help stop residual bleeding, apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth. In the event of a serious soft tissue injury, in which the bleeding is profuse or the damage is visibly traumatic, its best to stay calm, keep applying pressure, and go to the emergency room.

Tooth whitening products  are  available for home use to remove external stains by abrasion or by bleaching teeth. Their safety and effectiveness vary according to the type used.

Kits that contain abrasive agents can give you a white celebrity smile initially by removing surface stains, but they can be harmful over the long run because they accelerate the natural aging process, in which the enamel of teeth is slowly worn away to reveal the yellow dentin behind it, or can cause recessions on gums (meaning the roots will be exposed) and consequently cause TOOTH ABFRACTION on the roots of teeth concurrent with sensitivity to cold and air.

It is of utmost importance to have the abfraction checked by the COSMETIC DENTIST ,so the sensitivity be stopped. there is various treatment that can help further breakdown and abfraction of the roots, including but not limited to, DENTAL BONDING, or possibly DENTAL VENEERS or LUMINEERS.

iF YOU DO HAVE ANY EXISTING SENSIVITY ,I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO DO ANY TEETH WHITENING OR BLEACHING OF TEETH ,till all the  necessary treatment for the sensitivity is rendered.

Teeth bleaching or TOOTH WHITENING PRODUCTS,are usually carbomide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide derivitives, and of course with different concentration. In my opinion you should be screened for your gums, root sensitivity, any micro cracks, microleakage possibly from your fillings , or abfractions by a dentist before you put whitening and bleaching products in your mouth.

In summary I highly advise you to have a full check up and consultation with an EXPERT COSMETIC DENTIST, before you do any kind of teeth whitening, to avoid further damage to your precious teeth and smile.
