Teeth Whitening Sensitivity

Jason P asked:


I haven’t had any pain or sensitivity to them until the other night I drank a 20 oz bottle of coke. Right after that until I went to sleep, my teeth hurt like crazy. I’m wondering if others have noticed that.

I love crest white strips, they whiten my teeth awesome,
with little sensitivity!
I am about to get a new box, but I’m thinking instead to get the new Listerine dissolving strips? I’ve read that they taste bad, they leave a “gunk” layer, blah blah..
But what I reallly want to know is do they whiten better then crest white strips?
Has anyone used both?
Which works BEST!
Thanks guys!

I have a fairly nasty allergy/sensitivity to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. SLS is a common ingredient in shampoos, toothpastes, soaps and body wash. I can sometimes use it in hand soap, but I absolutely cannot use it in any other form. My scalp exhibits all of the signs of really bad psoriasis and eczema rolled into one, with weeping sores and all. I get massive (about the size of a dime) and multiple canker sores in my mouth if I use toothpaste with it. I’ve found a decent shampoo that is well priced and SLS free (Trader Joe’s Citrus Aromatherapy Shampoo) but I can never seem to find a good toothpaste.

I’ve used an off brand for about a year now, I found it at Big Lots by total accident one day. It’s a whitening toothpaste for sensitive teeth which I’m not too thrilled about. I’ve run out and I can’t seem to find a decent replacement. Tom’s of Maine has minor amounts of SLS, but still enough to make my mouth break out. I’m using NOW Foods Xyliwhite from Whole Foods right now, but it doesn’t help with my tooth sensitivity. So, in short, I’m looking a non-whitening, SLS free toothpaste for people with sensitive teeth. Has anyone else with this problem had any luck or experience with a good toothpaste? (Cinnamon flavor is a bonus)
I can use search engines and am quite familiar with most websites that sell SLS Free Toothpaste. I am looking for a personal anecdote or experience with some particular product.

Hi.

I recently had the zoom whitening procedure done. I am not happy with the results, or in the manner in which they went about describing the side effects. What should I do?

First, I’d like to explain that I have hyper-calcifications (white spots) on my two front teeth that faded with time and after smoking for a number of years were not even noticeable. I quit smoking and after a year of being smoke-free decided to explore the option of having whitening done on my teeth.

I expressed my concern to the doctor regarding the hyper-calcifications, and my fear that the whitening would only make them noticeable. He assured me that the whitening material would be painted around the area and that my teeth would be much whiter, and the hyper-calcifications would blend in completely. He also told me that the procedure may cause “sensitivity”.

This “sensitivity” was (besides being in labor for 3 days and giving birth) the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. It was like ice picks were being driven into my teeth. The pain was jarring, intense and excruciating, to say the least. It was a far cry from “sensitivity”.

The worst part, however, was this. When I got the whitening done, I reminded the woman who was doing the procedure about the white spots. I said, “You’re going to put the whitening material around my hypercalcifications, right?” She replied, “No, I’m putting it on the whole tooth, that’s how we blend it in.” (Not what the doctor had said.)

After the torturous procedure I was mortified to find that the white spots were whiter than they had ever been. It looks horrible. I’m embarrased to open my mouth to smile or talk. It’s really, really noticeable.

I was in so much pain when I left, I didn’t say anything. I’m going to make an appointment to talk to the doctor about it but I feel as though either he lied to me, or the procedure was not done as promised. I don’t think anything could be done, and I’ll never get whitening done again. In addition, I was not informed that the procedure might cause any pain. As far as business goes, this seems totally unprofessional to me. And as far as I’m concerned, all pain aside, I payed money and I look ridiculous. Its BS. What should I do?

Such as Crest white strips premium, for instance. I’d like to whiten my teeth but not at the expense of damaging them, so I’d like to know. Also, how severe is the tooth sensitivity after the whitener is used, and how long does it last?

chnchita asked:


Last month, I had a crown put on a bottom molar that already had an old filling. The tooth had cracked. The dentist shaved down the tooth a bit, kept the filling intact, but now I’m having huge sensitivity issues when I eat/drink. Eating yogurt, or cereal, or cold water, or wine….hurts. It’s exactly like when I had my temporary crown on and could feel *everything*. (FYI – I require blocks for any dental work). I currently use a whitening toothpaste, but wonder if I need to stop that and switch to Sensodyne. I really don’t want to go back to the dentist (have been there five times in two months. But if I need to, I’ll go in to make this irritation stop! Ack.

Peach_Heist asked:


I have had a tender bump under my chin, towards the bend in my jaw for a few days. i can feel a pea size lump if i feel around. it is tender to the touch but otherwise does not cause pain. i do not have a toothache and do not seem to have red or inflammed gums. I would imagine that an abscess would have started hurting, or gotten worse, or my teeth would have become sensitive in some way.

i do however seem to have a small canker sore, which i believe is a result of at home teeth whitening. i’m wondering if this is related to the bump, or is a sign of an abscess in the teeth? Can the home whitening cause infection or sensitivity? Is it all coincidence?
