Can be normal: About 25% of people who bleach their teeth report some level of sensitivity after bleaching. It usually goes away all by itself within a short period of time.

Can be: Especially if you have sensitive teeth to begin with. Even if your teeth aren't sensitive before, the stronger the bleach the more more likely it is.
