When I was about to get married I started to get really picky on things. I saw my body could be better and started to implement a crazy workout regime. I also saw that my teeth were really in need of whitening and decided to go to the extreme in this area as well. It turns out that the later decision was a very painful one and I wanted to go over why some whitening strips cause so much pain for some people. I never thought I had sensitive teeth, but once I started those I thought my teeth may actually fall out. I was still getting the white look that they promised but it felt like I may lose my teeth to get the benefits of crest white strips. I remember the cost being a big factor and it still is rather pricey to get strips or whitening kits. For me it looks like it was around 40 bucks at the very lowest price and up to 100 plus for some kits that did what looked like the same thing. I was still a bit shocked by the price and then thought about the pain happening and that I was actually paying for pain. On the box, tooth sensitivity, gum pain and general pain are said to be normal. These effects are supposed to be non permanent and general practice. It is stated they are short term issues and only continue while you are using the product. This absolutely boggles the mind that a item that causes pain is something that people still want. Well I would say welcome to America. This is a country where pain is acceptable as long as we look good doing it. The accelerated white stain essentially makes out teeth super sensitive to just about anything. For me cold drinks were a nightmare to drink once I started crest white strips and I was struggling to continue. But I needed white teeth for my wedding so I still stuck it out and went through the pain. The effects were indeed temporary as I do not have sensitive teeth now, but I was honestly worried i would lose my teeth from this product. If I can suggest I would instead use a charcoal toothpaste for whitening paste and start long ahead of when you need to have your teeth whitened. I wish I would have taken more time and not done the strips that caused me so much pain while eating and drinking for weeks. So be smart stay safe and stay out of pain.
