Whizzer whitening strips - sensitive teeth?

    Just wondering would these strips affect my teeth?
    http://www.whizzerwhiteningstrips.com/retailers.html

    They look good, and I want to whiten my teeth a little bit without spending €500 at the dentist! The only problem is, my teeth enamel has been worn away a little by acid erosion, and my teeth can be quite sensitive. I'm just wondering do any of the experts here think that they would cause discomfort for my teeth?

    without knowing the strength of the bleaching agent, or even if it's hydrogen or carbamide peroxide, then it's hard to say much.
    have you talked to your dentist about it recently?
    most of the people that have had whitening done experience sensitivity when it's been done, but that's usually with an overnight tray with a decent concentration of the bleaching agent.
    10 mins with a strip that dissolves just sounds strange. waiting to be proved wrong though.

    I suppose its knowing the answer to these questions that you pay the dentist for. If you have erosion and damaged teeth with exposed dentine you really need it done professionally (or not at all).

    Ive used these strips before.

    Found them extremely handy as they dissolve in your mouth so you know when your finished.

    Found them to give the same results as the Chrest whitening strips you can get from the US but my teeth were far less sensitive after use.

    do these just whiten your teeth for the day or if you use them all like the directions do they make your teeth white for a while like actualy getting them whitened at the dentist??
