Honestly, comfort over “Hollywood white” any day.
Totally get this—after years of chasing those “whitening” promises, I realized my teeth just got way too sensitive. Gel’s been my go-to ever since. I had some gum recession, too, and anything gritty just made things worse. It’s wild how much better my mouth feels when I stick to what’s gentle, even if it’s not the fanciest option out there.
That’s a really smart switch. I see so many folks dealing with sensitivity after using abrasive or whitening pastes—especially with gum recession. You’re definitely not alone there. A gentle gel can make a huge difference for comfort and long-term health.

Totally agree with this. My kiddo has really sensitive teeth, and we learned the hard way that those whitening pastes were just way too harsh. Swapping to a mild gel was honestly such a relief for both of us—no more complaints about stinging or that weird gritty feeling. It’s kind of wild how something so small can make brushing go from a battle to… not so bad.
