Crest whitestrips causing toothaches?

Question

I have been using them for 6 days now, all was fine until now.

I have been getting extreme toothaches on the right side of my mouth and Im not sure if the strips are causing it.

Answer 1

They probably are.

The Crest Whtiestrips make your teeth more sensitive.

As soon as you're done with them, the pain will slowly go away.

Answer 2

I didn't have toothaches when I used Crest whitestrips.. maybe you just have a cavity or something

Answer 3

Any whitening product tends to cause some sensitivity. For some people more than others. It is normal or it can be due to a cavity. Take a day or two off or take an antiinflammatory such as ibuprofen or aleve and it will help. To prevent this, pick up a fluoride rinse from your local store and rinse immediately after removing the strips. Then just spit, do not rinse with water or eat or drink for at least 30 minutes.

Answer 4

The whitestrips apparently remove enamel of the teeth and trust me same thing happened to me.  It is a pain but just wing off them and youll be back to normal in a few days.

Answer 5

they didn't give me a toothache, but they did make my teeth a lot more sensitive. Even letting air touch them with my mouth open was uncomfortable. But it went away after i stopped using them. They didn't seem to whiten my teeth much anyway.  

Answer 6

yes the strips are causing it your teeth are to sensitive u should try something like rinsing with peroxide before you brush for 30 sec. it works my teeth are white *** h**l!
