Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:While using teeth whitening strips you may feel an extra sensitivity in your teeth and gums, similar to the sensation of eating cold ice cream. Some people also experience irritation while using the strips. Any irritation and sensitivity usually subsides after you stop using the strips. Using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth may also help ease any tooth sensitivity.
