these whitening systems can make your teeth more sensitive. If you have cold sensitivity it may get worse. \nthey do whiten though.

This happened to me a few times before I realized something. Don't brush your teeth anywhere near the time when you want to use the white strips--I'm talking many hours. If I brushed my teeth in the morming and used whitestrips in the late afternoon, I was fine. Otherwise it burned!

You could try crest white strips... I did but they tend to make my teeth too sensitive... Have you seen this infomercial for this thing that zaps you teeth with a blue light it's not to expensive but that works pretty well. But I would totally suggest you get you teeth whitened by a dentist I paid $500 that was over 5 years ago and I still get compliments on my teeth.

If your going in for a cleaning, I'm sure when they take the x'rays the Hygienist will find your problem with your molar. Get it treated as soon as possible, before a Root Canal, comes knocking! \n\nAs far as sensitivity is concerned... the cold water, might give you a good jolt! Good luck on that, there isnt anything we can do about it. We dont get options in offices when it comes to hot or cold water. We ONLY get cold. Sorry..... \n\nGood Luck...

Dear Lillypetal,\nhi.. im a Dentist. the clenching U say u got is called Bruxism. did U get a filling done recently? it maybe cos a little extra filling material was put into the cavity(called a high point) its like a bump n u may subconsciously be trying to get your teeth to close well but aren able to.\nthis may sound stupid.. but when was the last time U went in for De worming medication....? u may require a course. ask your pharmacist. (ALBENDAZOLE)\nsomeone else suggested U get a guard that sports people use( such as football players or even boxers) u might want to try that.\ndo U have wax in your ears? if so then u need a clean up. use a wax dissolving liquid(ask for something with Paradichlorobenzene and benzocaine in it)\nif u got loads of problems on your mind n like U say u reallly need the sleep U could take 0.25mg of Alprazolam..its an anti anxiety drug. please don take on regular basis!\nYour cheek muscles(especially just below your ear) could hurt real bad when U wake up. try soaking a towel in warm water n applying in it.steamin could help too.\ntry chewing on some bubblegum.\nif facial muscle soreness is a problem U could have muscle spasm. in that case take an anti spasmodic(something U use for menstrual cramps show do just fine). donot take it if Ur facial muscles don feel sore.\ntry sucking on a lozenge.\nlastly this show help in some way or the other- follow religiously before U go to bed...brush teeth really wellusing the least amount of force U can(NOT TOO HARD!!). floss gently. see that teeth are squeaky clean.\nuse a good mouthwash(preferably something with CHLOREXHIDINE and ZINC) if not available. thorough warm salt water gargles should help.\ni have never seen U so i need U to make a decision as to what exactly is your problem.. thats why the long list of possible solutions.!\ntake care n really hope U get some sleep tonight.\nsweet dreams!

Yes, and, actually, the Crest White Strips Premium are worth the extra money.  For some reason, they don't make your teeth as sensitive during the whitening process.\n\nOne thing that you have to keep in mind is that you have to find the time to use the product.  You have to keep the strips on for 30 minutes at a time, twice a day.  I usually did this before I went to work in the morning, and after I got home, before I went out again.  But it's kindof hard to commit to if you have a really busy schedule.\n\nMy uncle is an orthodontist and told me that if you have really sensitive teeth, Crest White Strips are still safe to use.  Just because they cause pain doesn't mean they're harming you, they're just making your teeth sensitive during the whitening process.\n\nHappy smiles!

I dunno except maybe get a dentist to check it out to see if it's really bad. I had something like that with a lot of my teeth and didn't think anything of it til they got so loose I lost a few. I freaked when one of my top front teeth came out. Finally had to just get them all taken out cuz it was gonna cost way too much to try to fix and not even garanteed to work.

Yes it hurts. It's basically pulling your teeth into alignment by force. It will get easier once your teeth start going in line.

the crown is pressing too much against your gumz. Have your dentist give you a shot and tell him to go around your tooth with a cavitron. No this is not normal. Its normal for shitty dentistry.

YUP, I had been using it for the past week, and I just put them away last night. I didn't want to talk to my dentist for the exact same reason you've stated. I'll tell you a bit about my experience. \n\nThe first few days/nights you use them are killer. I would wake up in the middle of the night and just rip them off, 'cause it hurt so much (considering that your teeth are moving, it makes sense, but jeeze.) Also, not only do your gums get sore, but your teeth, right up to the root get really sensitive - just tapping it gently would hurt. That was a real danger sign to me. \nAfter about 3 days, I didn't notice anymore pain, and I had noticed my teeth gaps closing. (My tiny ones at the bottom had closed completly). I was happy about that, however when I would brush my teeth, they'd open again. What's up with that? I wore them all day, and whenever I'd take them off, they would up open in less than an hour. Also, as they pull 2 teeth together, they create new gaps on the other sides of your teeth. Forget the answers to the FAQ on the website, it isn't true. At least not for me. \n\nThe results are *very* temporary. Very makeshift. And I think the reviews on their *very* cheap looking website are either fake or extremely biased. The only way I could imagine this working is if you plan to continue buying and wearing them for the rest of your life, or at least a very long time. I had read a customer review on another website, and someone mentioned that they had been using them for 6 months, and whnever they stopped the treatment,  the gap re-opened.\n\nThe reasons I've decided to forget about them are basically due to fears about root and gum damage. Also, the chances that the results would be permanent are quite low. Why would people get braces if there's a product like this out there, and why isn't this product more publisized? I was also a bit scared that I would close the gap, then when I stopped treatment, the gap would open larger than what it was to begin with.\n\nI wouldn't suggest them. Just love yourself the way you are, and as inexpensive as they may be - sweetness, save your money, if you haven't bought them already. Buy some chocolate, or some dental floss or something. lol ;)\nConsider dental surgey otherwise.

Amy. . . I know just how you feel.  I had a root canal that wasn't capped, crooked teeth, I hate the taste of toothpaste (so I didn't brush), a shallow gag reflex (flossing was out), and I just simply HATE the smell of a dentists office.  Bad teeth also run in my family.\n\nWell, it all caught up with me.  My mouth was worse than what you are describing.  I swallowed my pride (which was the only thing I could swallow without chewing) and walked into a dentist.  I told him my story and my phobia of dentists.\n\nHe was really good, prescribed some codine to take before I went in, was very carefull and allowed me to use the walkman.  Unfortunately for me, it was to late.  I ended up having to have all my upper teeth pulled and now wear dentures.  I am only 40 years old.\n\nBesides, dentists are professionals, and I am sure that they have seen the worste.  You may feel bad for not doing this sooner, but they will understand.\n\nPlease, don't end up like me.  You only get this one set of teeth and they need to be taken care of.  Trust me, if you do this, and have the work done, you will feel much better about yourself and will find that you smile more, have a better outlook on life and you will be able to eat properly.  I still have some difficulty chewing and am not able to enjoy things like corn-on-the-cob, or eat hard bread sandwiches (and I really love french bread for sandwiches).
