A member asked:
Will the sensitivity caused by teeth whitening go away on its own?
8 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
It should: Most of the time the sensitivity is transient and will subside in a day or two. Speak to your dentist if you are suffering.

Maybe: The tooth sensitivity may be caused by something other than the whitening procedure. Tooth decay present in the mouth may cause symptoms of sensitivity especially during whitening procedures.

Yes: It should decrease by day 2 and be gone by 4-5 days. If it doesn't, call your dentist.
