When does sensitivity from whitening toothpaste need dental care?
See a dentist for persistent sensitivity, enamel wear, one darkened tooth, pain, cavities, or gum recession.
What should you ask about toothpaste and your enamel?
Ask for the ingredient list and whether your enamel or restorations change the choice.
