Whitening your teeth should make you feel more confident — not uncomfortable. While most people experience little to no sensitivity with Smileactives, everyone’s smile is unique, and it’s normal for some to feel mild tingling or temporary sensitivity. If that happens, don’t worry — you can easily adjust your routine to keep your whitening experience gentle and effective.
1. Rinse First
Before brushing, rinse your mouth with water. This helps prepare your teeth and gums and can reduce initial sensitivity when whitening agents come into contact with your enamel.
2. Layer Like a Pro
Apply your Smileactives Pro Whitening Gel directly onto your toothbrush first — then add your favorite toothpaste on top. This creates a balanced mix that still whitens effectively while cushioning the formula for sensitive users.
3. Scale Back to Once Per Day
If you normally whiten twice a day, try dropping to just once daily. Many customers find that a single daily use still delivers visible whitening while giving teeth and gums time to adjust.
4. Target with the Advanced Whitening Pen
Prefer a more focused approach? Use only the Smileactives Advanced Whitening Pen to brighten specific teeth or areas. This lets you customize your whitening and limit exposure where sensitivity may occur.
5. Listen to Your Smile
If you continue to experience discomfort, stop using the product. Some people are simply more sensitive to Hydrogen Peroxide, the active ingredient that lifts stains and brightens your smile. Taking a short break or switching to a targeted treatment can make all the difference.
A Quick Note on Safety
Smileactives is designed for daily use and has been tested for safety and effectiveness. However, if you ever experience irritation, pain, or persistent sensitivity, stop using the product immediately and consult your dentist before resuming or starting any new whitening routine. Everyone’s smile is different — what matters most is keeping yours healthy, comfortable, and confident.
