Zingers pain @ three weeks post whitening

Question

I’ve had sensitive teeth for years and recession on two lower front teeth. All noted in my records but no one warned me about pain from opakescence 20% gel to ready teeth befire replace two crowns on the top. Pain started days after I stopped bleaching. (Only 5 Times. Only half the amount of gel in trays) I’ve had gluma (1x), Seal & Protect (2x) and this week, composites on exposed roots (2 days relief).Yesterday it started again. I’m terrified . Root canal? What can be done?

Patric Cohen, DDS, FAGD · Answer

I would try a desensitizing tooth paste like sensydyne. If that doesn't work, get a prescription from your dentist for prevident 5000 and try using that in your bleaching trays for a couple hours 2-3 days.

John A. Merrill, DDS · Answer

I would try placing sensodyne toothpaste in your bleaching trays and wearing as long as overnight for 2-3 nights and see how the teeth respond as your next step. Good luck
