How do I soothe tooth sensitivity directly after whitening?

ashesofdawn7 asked:


I have sensitive teeth to begin with, and I whitened with peroxide. Now I’m salivating excessively, and I have random shooting pain in one of my molars which has that silver coating over it. I put Ambesol on it, and I haven’t gotten a tinge of pain yet, so we’ll see if it works. Is Ambesol safe to use on a sensitive tooth after whitening? Are there any immediate soothers to try within a half hour of whitening?

    I just got the zoom whitening about a month ago and I know what your going through! They gave some medication that helps with sensitivity. They also told me to take advil of course too. I wouldnt try anything unless the dentist okays it. It would be a shame to ruin your new white teeth.

    get some sensodyne toothpaste and put it on your teeth a few times a day and let it sit on there. do not whiten your teeth again. you might have thin enamel. get your mercury fillings out.

    Try sensodyne toothpaste and using gel-kam which both help with sensitivity. Good luck!
