Yes: Your teeth can become hypersensitive immediately after whitening your teeth. The sensitivity should go away within 24 hours. Speak to your dentist if it is actually unprovoked pain. Hope this helps, .

Yes: One of the side effects of tooth whitening is increases tooth sensitivity and/or spontaneous pain. It will go away in 3-5 dates. In my dental office we have patients use sensodyne for 2 weeks prior to whitening and during whitening. This reduces or eliminates tooth whitening pain (and confirmed buy several studies) for now take advil, (ibuprofen) Aspirin or alive.
