This is my second day using Crest Whitestrips. I use it twice a day. I am starting to have sensitivity and pain with my gums and teeth. Is there anyway i can help or get rid of the pain?

Stop using them. Even in the instructions, it tells you to discontinue if you experience sensitivity. I used to use them and the same thing happened to me. Excruciating pain, I stopped just out of fear that they would harm my roots. You can try a natural way of whitening teeth that is very effective; just use a 1:1 ratio of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. You may experience slight pain in some teeth, but unlike the strips, these ingredients are good for you, the pain is due to an infection in your teeth that is being treated by the mixture.
Hope this was helpful! :)

then STOP using the whitening strips. Teeth are NOT white, they are off white in color. No long term tests have been done on whitening strips because they are a new product. It may or may not be damaging your teeth's enamel (stripping it away). And enamel does NOT grow back. So if it is making your teeth hurt take that as a sign to stop using the product forever.
