A doctor has provided 1 answer
White strips: Sensitivity from white strips can be from a couple of things. If you have any decay, defective or loos fillings these teeth can get sensitive. Also teeth with gum recessin can be sensitive. See adentist and have your teeth checked.and talk to the dentist about professional whitening systems.
