I've always had sensitive teeth (not awful, but occassionally with hot, cold, acidic food like apples, strawberries...) and I've just tried the whitestrips on my teeth....now my teeth are noticably sensitive all the time (I've only used the strips for a couple of days)....will this subside? and in the meantime, is there something I can use to ease the sensitivity? I bought a sensitive toothpaste but I don't know if it will be effective or interact in a bad way with whitening products? And, while I'm at it, doesn't the toothpaste that is for whitening and sensitive teeth cancel each other out? All answers appreciated thanks!!

It is normal for your teeth to get sensitive from using bleaching material. If sensitivity happens stop using the white strips for a couple of days. Using fluoride helps with the sensitivity. You can get an over the counter fluoride rinse and use that daily. Make sure you read the directions. You have to rinse with it for 30 seconds or a minute and then you can't eat or drink for 30 minutes. Hope the sensitivity gets better!

Use the sensitive teeth toothpaste. It won't hurt anything. Limit eating things really hot or cold for the next few days.
Crest Whitestrips does this to a lot of people. Wait a week or until your teeth feel better to start using again. Then use once a day every other day. Some people can only use once a week or their teeth get too sensitive. It won't effect the work of the whitestrips, it just takes longer.

Whitening Strips For Sensitive Teeth
2016-11-05 22:48:49 · answer #5 · answered by boddie 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Sensitivity is a very common side effect from whitening products. It is recommended that you start using a toothpaste for sensitivity (like Sensodyne) for two weeks BEFORE you start using whitening strips. And be sure to continue using them while you're going through the whitening process. Another thing you could try would be to use the strips every other day instead of 2-3 days in a row.

White strips do not remove the enamel from your teeth!!! Your teeth have pores just like your skin. Your pores are just larger then normal (Nothing to be worried about)and by using sensodyne toothpaste, it shrinks the pores down. Try Sensodyne toothpaste and bleach every other day. The sensodyne takes a couple of weeks to work

Stay away from the professional teeth whitening procedures and from the whitening at home kits. They are using extremely toxic chemicals that can cause IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO TOOTH ENAMEL and premature tooth decay.
