Used to protect exposed dentin and to ease the discomfort of patients experiencing sensitivity, in-office desensitizing agents can be applied before or after treatment. These materials can be useful following restorative treatment when temporary restoration must be placed, or following whitening procedures that can induce sensitivity. Often applied as a liquid or a gel, these materials should be placed directly on the exposed dentin or other areas experiencing sensitivity.
