The most common side effect of at‐home bleaching is transient tooth sensitivity. Despite its high frequency, this phenomenon is not well understood. This is the second of a two‐part Critical Appraisal on tooth sensitivity associated with at‐home bleaching. The first installment reviewed articles that focus on the incidence of sensitivity, long‐term effects of bleaching, and related pulpal concerns. This installment also covers pulpal concerns, as well as the prevention of sensitivity during at‐home whitening treatments.
