I have very sensitive teeth - crest white strips hurt after 3 days. Can these trays be tolerated by people with sensitive teeth?

Hi, it sounds like your teeth are very sensitive. From my experience with this product it will definitely hurt if the Crest white strips are hurting. There is a 16% day solution available that would be less painful as well as a sensitivity solution that you place in the trays after the whitening to stop pain. I hope this helps.

No this product causes your teeth to become very sensitive after you start to use it. And can last as long as 2-3 days. I do like the results but u have to take a little discomfort

Hi Michael,I did a litte research and there were no harmful effects that i can see but the tooth sensitivity was greatly increased when I used the product. I could not use the product fro more then 2 days in one session.

It really whitens your teeth. I have a custom tray I had made at my detist. I did it for 2 hours 7-10 days initially. Now after my 6 month cleaning I use it 2-4 days for upkeep. Using longer than 2 hours really makes teeth sensitive. This quantity last me over a year. I keep it in the refrigerator.

Maybe...If you press, rub lightly over the tooth surfaces and hold in place for 10-15 seconds the strip may conform to the irregular surfaces. They seem to hold in place well and even are hard to remove if left in too long. Trays may be a better solution.

Hi These strips were gummy. They basically melted and adhered to my teeth. It was a chore to remove them. The crest strips work well for me. They adhere but are removable These sheer white strips appear to work for others Just not me

The package says to use them once a day or even twice a day for faster results, I had to stop after 7 days though because my teeth were too sensitive. The website says it is ok to skip days in between.

Shouldn't be more than 2 hours; irritation of the gums. Also, use minimal amount. Do not over fill the trays.

No the active ingredients in Ultra White have been used for over 18 years on over 200,000 patients without a single case of enamel damage. It can however cause sensitivity which stops after use. If you truly have thin enamel from acid erosion or birth defect the gel will probably not show much results as it whitens enamel well but not the inner dentin of the tooth.

Assuming there is no sensitivity use the strips everyday for two weeks straight. Then use the strips twice a week with baking soda the rest of the time.Then use the the strips once a week and stay at that level. Depending of the whiteness depends on the quantity of the strips. Use less for maintaining, and more for bringing to level of increasing whiteness. Start using toothpaste with whitener and/or baking soda in its ingredients to maintain white. Use strips as needed. Good luck. Respond if you have more questions. Would like to keep up with your progress.

It depends on how white you want your teeth and how much coffee, tea, wine, and other staining food and drink you consume. For the first time you use a whitener, I would recommend doing a full course of 10-14 treatments over 2 to 4 weeks depending on how well your teeth handle the sensitivity (which is temporary and can be managed by taking days off in between treatments if you are sensitive). That initial treatment course will dramatically whiten stained teeth (getting a cleaning at a dentist's office prior to this is a good idea too). Afterwards, you will have to touch up every 6-12 months depending on your eating and drinking habits. You can also use once a week to once a month as maintenance.

For myself yes, though you will likely see better results with the more intense treatments (like the 1 hour strips). I chose this one because I know that my teeth are sensitive, so the effects are not as quick or dramatic, but it also does not cause me any discomfort.

If you have sensitive teeth, you might start off keeping your bleaching tray in only for 2-3 hours the first time and increase if you can tolerate it. That's what I did. It takes a little longer to get your teeth whiter that way but you won't feel the discomfort.

Wow are you serious? I leave mine on all night and take them out in the morning. Is this why my teeth sting when I do this?Typically about 7 hours. Is this wrong? I often get comments on how white my teeth are though.
