What are some teeth whiteners that WILL make my teeth sensitive?? even if only a little sensitive??
All of the methods (strips, trays, custom trays, in office whitening) have the potential to make your teeth temporarily sensitive, but will not harm the enamel if used appropriately. This is even more common if you are a teen since the nerves of your teeth are more apt to be sensitive. So it really depends on the individual as to how sensitive you will be and to what. Recession, age, etc all play a part, therefore there is no formula to give you. If you get sensitive use the product every other day in conjunction with a sensitive tooth toothpaste. You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again.





Good luck!

Reply:whitening toothpastes work - if you get sensitive then use synsodene until the sensitivities go away.
Reply:crest white strips made my teeth really sensative
Reply:Your teeth will definitely become extremely sensitive if you use the strips too much. If you follow the directions on the box you should be ok. If your teeth are sensitive already you need to get some toothpaste for sensitive teeth which will help. Have you thought of permanent whitening. It is a one time thing but your teeth look great but it does cost a lot. Good luck.
