Why do whitening strips cause teeth sensitivity?
lapreller asked:
Ive never had a problem with my teeth being sensitive. The other day I tried one of those crest teeth whitening strips and after one use, my teeth are so sensitive I cant stand it! What is causing this? The main ingredient is peroxide, which I though was in most toothpaste anyway. Is it going to cause damage to my teeth?

they strip the enamale off your teeth. and yes they will cause damage. You can use sensatine toothpaste. there are a couple of diffrent one’s I think aqua fresh makes one too.

The peroxide in your toothpaste is the same thing that can colour people’s hair blonde.
