For some people, they experience the feeling of sensitivity because their enamel is thinner... for others it makes their gums sensitive, which in return makes their teeth sensitive. It could just be your teeth and I think it mentions on the box that that might happen and your teeth might be sensitive for a while. My ex experienced that so you're not the only one.

Ive been wanting to try these for the longest time but just assumed they wouldn't work. Do your teeth hurt alot? Or just a bit?

for even whiter teeth, use their whitening toothpaste too.

[miss.myra]

I use the premium ones 2x a year, my teeth are pretty white to begin with but it's nice to do that for a bit of extra maintenance.

I find that when I am using them it does make my teeth a wee bit more sensitive to cold/hot foods and drinks, this is probably because they are actually removing all the stains layering our teeth that protect us from that stuff and it goes away within a few days.

Anyways the difference is totally noticeable after I use them so they are well worth the price.

that could make your teeth even more sensitive. any whitening toothpaste makes your teeth a lilttle sensitive so combining the two might not be such a good idea since her teeth are already sensitive from the strips.

Fantasy, i would suggest using the strips until you've used them all up and then use the whitening toothpast but not both at the same time. while you use the strips you could use Sensodyne which will help relive some of the sensitivity.

I tried them once and I was kept up all night with a sharp pain shooting through my teeth. I never tried it again.

[g!ggles]

they totally work but they really hurt. It's worth it though.

pain=beauty

I was goin gto go pick up a box today after work but now I dont know if I want to or not...

On a scale of 1-10(10 being painful) how much did they hurt??

Ive had all sorts of work done to my teeth so Im not new to dental pain... Just wondering how much they hurt.

true true.. sensodyne now has a whitening toothpaste.. so u can brighten without being sensitive.

I use Colgate Sensitive Whitening toothpaste, it works pretty good. :)
I've been thinking about using those white strips for some extra whiteness..

from my personal experience about a 3/10.
it didnt really HURT, it was just a tad noticeable.

[socool]

Works extremely well. You notice a difference almost right away. Plus it's just a fairly normal priced toothpaste, so you don't spend a fortune & have to muck about w/ those silly, painful strips.

[Ashley*Dawn]

^That's what Im going to use and the vivid white at night one or whatever.

[Goodfellow]

the crest whitening toothpaste really works too.. and mines vanilla flavored! i totally recommend that stuff, it doesn't make everything minty after you brush your teeth. infact, i can barely even notice I brushed if I eat right after.

[thechix0r]

But I like that minty feeling after....

My dentist told me never to touch the stuff.
He said it was just another form of bleaching your teeth, and that the law of diminishing returns applies.

The more you use them the more porous the enamel on your teeth gets. So with continued use your teeth will look less and less white and become less and less healthy.

[fantasy20]

realy becuz ive heard they are totally safe to use... maybe i was miss informed

[Vitamin-X]

Hey, I'm just saying...^^
A lot of people stand to make a lot of money telling people that these products are great and safe.
