my teeth hurt soo bad from tooth whitening?
AlwyzJls asked:
i recently bought an at home tooth whitening system with custom fit trays and 35% carbamide peroxide. i used it for two or three days(cant remember) and i haven’t done it in three days,but for some reason the redness in my gums won’t go down too much and my tooth sensitivity is getting worse! I have never had sensitive teeth,either. Now it even hurts from air! Why is it getting worse? Isn’t it suppost to go away? Am i stuck with this forever now? I want my gums to be light pink again! Please help!

Carbamide Peroxide breaks down tooth enamel, that could be why your teeth are hurting. This is going to sound gross but it really does help. Warm salt water will help the pain and you can always try some Orajel.
Once the swelling goes down, don’t use it everyday. Leave sometime in between. Whitening is tough on your teeth.
Hope everything feels better. I hope I helped!!

The trays basically burn through your enamel to get rid of the outer layer of the teeth for a whiter smile. I’d suggest laying off them completely until you feel better.
My buddy whitened his teeth the same way, it took about a week before he wasn’t bothered by heat and cold.
