"Maybe stick to room temp treats for a day or two?"
Haha, learned that one the hard way myself...ouch. Fluoride varnish sounds great, but last time I asked, it was kinda pricey. Spacing out sessions definitely helped me thoughβless sensitivity and easier on the wallet too.
Totally agree about spacing out the sessionsβmakes a huge difference in comfort levels and budgeting. I've found fluoride varnish helpful too, but honestly, sensitivity toothpaste worked wonders for me between sessions. My dentist recommended applying a thin layer directly onto the teeth and leaving it overnight, and surprisingly, it did ease the discomfort quite a bit. Also, steering clear of acidic foods and drinks for a couple days after whitening can really help reduce sensitivity. Learned that after I made the mistake of drinking orange juice the morning after...definitely not my brightest moment, haha. Anyway, glad to hear spacing things out worked for you too; it's reassuring to know others have had similar experiences.
