White strips do not remove the enamel from your teeth!!! Your teeth have pores just like your skin. Your pores are just larger then normal (Nothing to be worried about)and by using sensodyne toothpaste, it shrinks the pores down. Try Sensodyne toothpaste and bleach every other day. The sensodyne takes a couple of weeks to work

It is normal for your teeth to get sensitive from using bleaching material. If sensitivity happens stop using the white strips for a couple of days. Using fluoride helps with the sensitivity. You can get an over the counter fluoride rinse and use that daily. Make sure you read the directions. You have to rinse with it for 30 seconds or a minute and then you can’t eat or drink for 30 minutes. Hope the sensitivity gets better!

yes this will end just stop the whiting strips and whiten tooth paste. you should brush your teeth with tooth paste for sensitive teeth or arm and hammer baking soda with is a ugh taste, but will never hurt your teeth

Whitestripes work by removing some of the enamel on your teeth. That is why they are sensitive. They will not get better, but you can use sensodyne toothpaste to make sure they don’t get worse, and brush after having coffee, tea, mustard, and red wine.

The same thing happened to me…..

I used the 7 day strips and had to stop after 2 days, I waited a week then used them again for 2 days and waited another week…ect. ect.

I think next time I will just stick to my Colgate total Plus whitening.

Use the sensitive teeth toothpaste. It won’t hurt anything. Limit eating things really hot or cold for the next few days.

Crest Whitestrips does this to a lot of people. Wait a week or until your teeth feel better to start using again. Then use once a day every other day. Some people can only use once a week or their teeth get too sensitive. It won’t effect the work of the whitestrips, it just takes longer.
