I’ve had the same sensitivity/pain problems with my teeth/gums after using Crest whitestrips and the Literine strips as well. I’ve tried spacing them out but it seems that I still have issues if used more than once within a week. Aquafresh whitening trays seem to be the only over-the-counter at-home whitening system that I can use regularly without the sensitivity/pain. I try not to use them more than 3 days at time every week as I rather not have any issues with sensitivity/pain.

I used Crest white strips way back in winter 2003 and I definitely experienced increased sensitivity. They didn’t irritate my gums while I had them on but I became so sensitive to cold that the cool air blowing outside was painful on my teeth even with my mouth closed. It was the most bizarre feeling.

I believe it says on the instructions that it can cause irritation and sensitivity?

I’ve tried the crest whitestrips and I tore them off after about 5 minutes. I could feel them burning my teeth and gums. My teeth were terribly sensitive after that, even just after 5 minutes of use one time.
I sold the rest of the box on kijiji for 5 bucks..
