Okay, I finally decided to try one of those teeth whitening kits everyone keeps raving about. You know, the ones that promise a Hollywood smile in like two weeks? Well, it's been three days and my teeth feel like they're being zapped by tiny lightning bolts every time I sip something cold or even breathe in too sharply. Seriously, I didn't sign up for this torture, lol.
I've tried using sensitive toothpaste before and after, but it doesn't seem to help much. Maybe I'm just unlucky or my teeth are extra dramatic, idk. But now I'm stuck wondering if there's some secret trick I'm missing or if this is just the price we pay for vanity.
Is anyone else going through this? Or better yet, found a way to whiten teeth without feeling like you're chewing on aluminum foil?
Ugh, I feel your pain—literally. Did you check how long you're leaving the gel on? I made the mistake of going a bit overboard my first time and my teeth were screaming at me for days. Cutting back on the treatment time helped a ton. Also, weird tip: try rubbing a little sensitive toothpaste directly onto your teeth and leaving it there for a few minutes before rinsing. Sounds odd, but it gave me some relief... might be worth a shot?
Yikes, whitening sensitivity is no joke...seen it plenty at the clinic. You're spot-on about treatment time—less is definitely more. Another trick patients swear by is spacing treatments out a bit more. Usually helps teeth bounce back without losing results. Hang in there, it'll ease up soon.
