Everything was fine until today. While wearing the gel strip, I had a zing of pain that lasted for about 40 seconds. I noticed the area getting the zing is a tooth where I had a chip repaired. The dentist used dental bonding to repair it. Does this mean the whitening gel is weakening the bonding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Karen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/bleaching_trays.jpg\" alt=\"Teeth Whitening Trays\" class=\"wp-image-2780\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/tooth_bonding.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dental bonding<\/a> is a great solution for a chipped tooth. Fortunately, the teeth whitening gel will have no effect on the bonding. The problem, based on the type of pain you are describing, likely has to do with there being a sensitive spot on your tooth. Hopefully, you are doing this bleaching under the supervision of a dentist. This way he can treat the sensitive spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re just doing this on your own, you&#8217;re going to need to see a dentist. Don&#8217;t whiten until that spot is treated.&nbsp; Be careful about DIY kits. While many times they turn out just fine, there have been occasions where it led to a person needing a root canal treatment. Until your dentist treats the area, pause your bleaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to be aware of is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/category\/teeth-whitening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teeth whitening<\/a> gel only works on natural tooth structure. That means everywhere, except where the dental bonding is will whiten. The composite material that repaired your chipped tooth will stay the same color.&nbsp; This means you will have to redo the bonding to get the tooth uniform. Wait until you reach the level of whitening you want though. Then, wait a week to give the color time to stabilize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ever decide you want to whiten your teeth in just one appointment, ask your dentist about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/zoom_whitening.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom Whitening<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lafayette, LA Dentist<\/a> Dr. Emily Foreman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been doing at home bleaching of my teeth with a kit I purchased over the counter.
