I've heard wodnerful things about Crest Whitestrips, but someone told me they make your teeth more sensitive. Is this true?

Yes, more sensitive than they already are, but any whitening treatment would make your teeth more sensitive. It goes away after a few days, just avoid anything really cold or icy or anything really hot. It's not a big deal, and it's worth it if you want your teeth to be whiter.

Any bleaching process can make your teeth more sensitive. For some people it is more noticeable than others. If you notice it too much then space the bleaching out and use a high fluoride toothpaste or something like Sensodyne to help with it. But the sensitivity isn't permanent. It goes away within a couple of days and the result is definitely worth it.

Yes they can for some people, it only lasts for a day or two though and it goes away completely if you stop using them. My teeth only became sensitive when I used the strips twice a day, they were fine if I only used them once, I had the strongest ones available. It was worth it, they work really well.

I used them 2 years ago and I had no problem. Worked for me. Some prefer the bleaching from the dentist but it is so expdensive. You could ask your dentist what the cost would be and how long it would last.
