I just started using Crest Whitestrips and my teeth are sensitive. Is there anything I can do?

My teeth are already painfully sensitive after only two applications. Is there anything I can do to make it feel better, other than stopping?

Try using sensodyne tooth paste and then rub it in on the real sensitive spots before bed (leave it on over night. Also you can ask you dds for a concentrated flouride product. Space out your use of the strips to prevent more sensitivity.
Reply:Use asprin or ibeauprophen (SPELLING???).
Reply:Not sure - I used them for about 4 days and my gums would sting and slightly burn when I used the strips.
Reply:Usually the labels on these products tell you that the agent (peroxide) can make your gums sensitive if you get the strip on them. Maybe you're putting them too close to your gums? I have to tell you, I used these things forever...and never got the results I wanted. I finally had them professionally "zoom"ed white at the dentist. It was $400 but the results last forever and they really look good. Be careful with those strips and godloveya.
Reply:Sadly no. In my personal experience I have also found that these strips as well as toothpastes that claim to be whitening contain and ingredient known as SLS. This is a caustic ingredient and after using whitening toothpaste I started to develop very painful canker sores in my mouth. After doing the research, I found the toothpaste was causing it. I am not saying this will be your outcome, but offering my personal experience for your benefit. You might check with your dentist to see if there are other alternatives to whiten your pearly whites.
Reply:With time, each application will become less and less painful. Your teeth will become accustomed and in a few weeks you will forget you are wearing them. I bought whitening treatments for my family that were alot stronger than the Crest Whitestrips, and thats how it was for like for all of us. Like said, the irritation should go down the longer you keep using them.





I never saw results from the Crest Whitestrips, but you can get whitening kits with 5-10 times the whitening power of them on ebay or somewhere else online and they will work very fast and it is very noticeable.
Reply:Try using them once a day instead of twice. You can also go every other day. Take some Ibuprofen about 30 minutes before you bleach. Other then that, you can just stop using them. Unfortunately, there are those of us who just have extra sensitive teeth and have trouble bleaching.
Reply:Try brushing with Sensodyne. I presume your sensitivity isn't due to cavities.
Reply:there is a toothpaste called Sensodyne


it is especiall for sensitive teeth


if it is just the whitestrips hurting you i would disconue using them
