FOR ANYONE WHO EXPERIENCES PAIN
I too myself had crazy thoughts of yanking my teeth out of my mouth after the first application, due to the intensity of the after wards pain, BUT I have discovered a way to completely avoid it!
*cut the strips so that they do not fold over the edges of your teeth, because this is where the pain will be coming from due to the thin enamel.*
*while using this product, I highly recommend purchasing "Thera Dent" teeth desensitizing oral wash and use it through out the entire week you whiten your teeth with these strong Whitestrips. This mouthwash will put minerals back into your teeth that the strips may weaken.*
*Brush your teeth with a toothpaste created for sensitive teeth during the days you whiten. Toothpaste must contain 5% potassium nitrate and fluoride.*
*try holding a warm concentrated table salt and water solution in your mouth right after removing the strips."
I did all of this today and I did not experience ANY discomfort or sensitivity on my teeth. So this method WORKS!!!! =D
I gave this product 5 stars after finding a way around the problems is can cause.
Good Luck!!
