Mouthwash for sensitive teeth?

mr. tumnus asked:


I am wondering if there is any mouthwash out there that is supposed to be safe for people with sensitive teeth. The last mouthwash I tried was Listerine Whitening and I think that increased my teeth sensitivity.
Thanks.

Crest whitening strips?

Brennen asked:


Last night, my teeth hurt so bad from using the stripes that I was joking with the nurse that I needed some Dilaudid. What’s the physiological and medical rationale about this severe sensitivity (I would say pain, 6/10, more than just sensitivity)?

crest white strips vs listerine dissolving strips?

canyoustillfeelthebutterflies? asked:


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!

Will my teeth sensitivity go away?

Lizzie asked:


I used Crest whitening on my teeth. They hurt for a bit but then stopped. I got my braces off a week later, and I had three fillings done.

6 months later, my teeth, or 3 actually, hurt whenever I drink cold or hot things. I got my teeth checked and I have no fillings or cavities needed.

Is it my retainer or the crest? Will this go away?
