Accepted Answer

Crest WhiteStrips: It&#x27;s important that patients see their dentist prior to any whitening procedure to make sure that they have no cavities, defective fillings, erosions, etc. The sensitivity could be something common and temporary merely related to the whitening process or...Due to a dental problem (or both).
