Teeth Whitening Sensitivity

Lisa asked:


I have got myself some 35% carbamide peroxide and some mouth trays from online. Its meant to be great teeth whitener.

Ive been instructed to wear it every other day for 5 mins and then increase to 10 if I dont get sensitivity.

Ive tried it once for 5 mins. It stinks your gums but once its off its fine.

Anyone used this and does it actually work? and if so how many 10 minute sessions will it take?

Thanks

Hi,

Im trying to whiten my teeth with ‘Nite White’, I´ve been told to use it everynight for two weeks… the problem is that after the 1st night, the painful sensitivity on my poor teeth is almost unbearable…

I heard that ther’s a gel that I could use during the day to stop this problem and continue with the whitening process… is it true?…what should I do?

Thanks

okay so i am going to be using Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal beacuse i have done my research and they have gotten the best reviews for what i want. the package comes with 14 packets that contain both a lower and upper strip….meaning that i am supposed to wear one set of strips each day for thirty minutes for 14 days.

however, i will be starting school 7 days after i get my braces off, giving me six days to get white teeth.

so my question is, can i use 2 sets of strips per day…for a total of an hour whitening per day..therefore using them in a week, rather than taking 14 days to use them all?

will i get the same results using the whitestrips twice a day for a week rather than once a day for 2 weeks?

this might be kinda confusing so here is it simple:

can i whiten my teeth twice a day instead of once? but more importantly…will i get the same results by the end of week one using them twice a day as i would at the end of week two using them once a day?

oh and just to make this clear: I DONT CARE IF IT WILL MAKE MY TEETH MORE SENSITIVE. please dont say anything about sensitivity because i am aware of what will happen. thanks.
oh yeah and i forgot to add that the other crest whitestrips are supposed to be worn twice a day, so it really wouldnt be any different because they have the same hydrogen peroxide amount…so i would think that it would be okay

On Saturday I got some whitening trays (moulded to the shape of my mouth) and peroxide gel from the dentist and am supposed to wear the trays for 4 hours everyday. However about 3 hours after putting the trays in my teeth hurt like HELL, its like extreme sensitivity, except they twinge and tingle even when my mouth is closed. It makes my whole body shudder etc etc.. this pain continues for around 30 hours after putting the tray in so I can’t concentrate at school and stuff. Even after the 30 hours pass my teeth still hurt a bit and I can’t drink cold water.

Basically I can put up with the pain for another few days, but I’m supposed to wear these trays everyday for the next 3 – 6 weeks and then top up the whitening every year. However I CANNOT bear to put myself through the pain for that long.

So my question is – after wearing the trays and exposing my teeth to the gel everyday, will my teeth “get used” to the gel and stop being so sensitive (so far I’ve only used the trays twice)? Or will it hurt this majorly forever? I assumed the latter, but my parents are all like “just keep wearing them, your teeth will get used to them, blahblah..”. I really want to keep wearing them cause it cost so much to buy the trays and gel (£199) that i can’t just waste it… but then again I’m worried about permanently damaging my teeth.

oh & the gel I’m using is 10% peroxide which is the lowest the dentists offer, I’ve tried using sensodyne toothpaste but it doesn’t numb the pain, aspirin and paracetamol don’t help. I’m aged 16 so am aware I will prob suffer more sensitivity cause of my young teeth.

can you please answer with your own experiences cause I’ve read basically everything there is out there on whitening, and most of those whitening sites are bias only saying the good things.
oh also – my parents say that if I don’t use the gel for a few days then I’ll only get worse pain because then my teeth will “find it harder to get used to the gel”. I highly doubt this though, because I haven’t read anything about this being true.

I have been trying to whiten my teeth with Crest WhiteStrips but quickly found out that my tooth sensitivity would prevent me from finishing with it. I have heard that using baking soda works, but I am just looking for the best way possible.
