Treat Sensitivity in Whitening Patients At Home
Address sensitivity in whitening patients and increase comfort and satisfaction with VOCO Perfect Protect, the at-home desensitising solution.
In recent years, patient demand for whiter teeth has soared, with home whitening systems offering a convenient, effective way to achieve brighter smiles. However, as you well know, these treatments can often leave patients dealing with frustrating sensitivity, dampening their satisfaction and potentially putting them off whitening for life.
Addressing sensitivity upfront can make a substantial difference, both in patient comfort and in fostering trust and loyalty. With VOCO Perfect Protect, there’s now a desensitising solution you can confidently recommend for your patients—one that’s specifically designed to be used in combination with any home bleaching kit, while minimising sensitivity.
The Challenge of Sensitivity in Whitening Treatments
Sensitivity remains one of the most common challenges associated with bleaching treatments. Patients often experience discomfort from exposed dentinal tubules, leading to complaints that can affect their overall satisfaction and willingness to continue with whitening treatments. This dissatisfaction can ultimately lead to hesitation about future aesthetic treatments, fewer patient referrals, and potential disruptions in the continuity of care.
Patients want results without discomfort, and when sensitivity becomes a barrier, it can undermine their confidence in whitening products—and in the treatment options you recommend.
So, what can you do?
VOCO Perfect Protect

VOCO Perfect Protect offers an effective, scientifically-backed way to mitigate the sensitivity that often accompanies home bleaching. This desensitising gel combines 3% potassium nitrate with 0.11% fluoride, delivering dual-action relief: while the potassium nitrate helps alleviate pain, the fluoride works to seal open dentinal tubules, addressing the root cause of sensitivity.

The Best Part?
VOCO Perfect Protect is suitable for use with any home bleaching kit, making it the ideal choice, not matter what whitening solution you use.
Recent research led by Dr Dimitrios Dionysopoulos, Department of Operative Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki / Greece, demonstrated that VOCO Perfect Protect achieves approximately 80% sealing of open tubules. This means that among desensitisation products for patient use, VOCO Perfect Protect is one of the most reliable options for minimising bleaching-related discomfort and protecting enamel integrity.
Why VOCO Perfect Protect?
Here’s a quick breakdown of what makes VOCO Perfect Protect so effective and easy to integrate into patient care:
Dual-Action Formula:
- Potassium Nitrate (3%): With a concentration of 11,600ppm, this acts as an analgesic to alleviate sensitivity pain effectively.
- Fluoride (0.11%): With a concentration of 1,130ppm, the fluoride seals exposed dentinal tubules, reducing the chance of post-whitening discomfort and providing long-term relief.
Patient-Friendly Features:
- Neutral Taste and Pleasant Consistency: Patients appreciate the neutral flavour and smooth texture, making the gel more pleasant to use.
- Short, Flexible Application Time: The gel can be worn for just 15 minutes or up to 60 minutes, adapting to each patient's comfort and sensitivity level.
Seamless Integration:
- Compatible with any home bleaching: Perfect Protect works with any home bleaching tray, even if it’s not from the Perfect Bleach range, so there’s no need for additional products or adjustments.
- Pre- and Post-Whitening Versatility: Can be applied either before or after whitening sessions based on the patient's needs, providing relief at any stage of the whitening process.
This proactive approach to sensitivity management offers immediate relief, which many patients will appreciate, especially if they’ve experienced whitening discomfort in the past.
Practical Application Tips for Your Practice
Perfect Protect’s straightforward application makes it an easy addition to patient care. It’s compatible with any home bleaching tray, simplifying the process whether your patients use VOCO’s Perfect Bleach or another whitening product.
Here are a few tips to help integrate Perfect Protect into your patients’ whitening routine:
- Flexible Wear Time: Patients can use it for anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, allowing them to adjust based on their sensitivity level and preference.
- Pre- or Post-Whitening Use: You can recommend Perfect Protect either before or after each whitening session, depending on individual patient needs.
- Seamless Tray Compatibility: The gel works with any home bleaching tray, making it adaptable to patients’ existing whitening routines—no need for additional equipment or new trays.
This proactive approach to sensitivity management offers immediate relief, which many patients will appreciate, especially if they’ve experienced whitening discomfort in the past.
Enhancing Patient Satisfaction and Practice Success
When patients find whitening treatments comfortable and effective, they’re more likely to return, stay committed to ongoing care, and share positive feedback with others.
By addressing sensitivity with Perfect Protect, you help patients achieve their aesthetic goals without compromise, which directly contributes to better patient loyalty and stronger referrals.
Being able to offer patients a solution like VOCO Perfect Protect allows you to provide a more complete whitening experience—one that considers comfort just as much as results. It’s a simple, effective way to ensure that patients leave your care both confident in their smile and reassured by the attention to their comfort.
