A member asked:
Recently bought an led peroxide whitening kit and used it once. however its made my front lower teeth sensitive. can this cause damage for enamel??

Other way: It may be that teeth are coda aged, or you have some gum issues, and therefore they react to the hydrogen peroxide. Stop using the kit and see your Dentist for a safe alternative.

Very common: Tooth sensitivity often occurs during early stages of bleaching treatment. You will have to give it time and the sensitivity will likely subside.
