What should I do when my teeth are extra sensitive?

I whitened my teeth with an at-home bleaching kit from the dentist's office and my teeth only felt slightly sensitive while doing it. Then afterwards the pain got progressively worse until it was pretty excruciating, and now its better, but still a nagging pain and sensitivity. This has been going on for HOURS now! I have been using a special sensitivity toothpaste with flouride when I brush, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I also tried tylenol and vicodin which didn't help the pain either. Does anyone know any products or remedies or ANYTHING to help get rid of or prevent tooth sensitivity? I'm supposed to use that whitening kit at least a few times to get desired results, but now I'm dreading ever doing it again after the pain. Is there anything else I can do to combat the sensitivity? Thanks.

Sensodyne-F Revitalizing contains fluoride which not only prevents cavities, but also helps strengthen and remineralize tooth enamel.





There are several other immediate relief products out on the market. One of them is Orajel, which can numb the area for temporary pain relief. Also, I once tried a product that came with swabs to desensitize your teeth with and it's supposed to keep the pain away for at least a month after only one use. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was called...but it did work. If you go to the store, you'll probably find other stuff like that around the oral care section.
Reply:Sensodyne toothpaste works great for sensitive teeth. But it costs $5-6 a tube.
Reply:I have got sensitive teeth right now and also use sensodyne, it can take a few hours to work but you could rub it directly on to your teeth and make a 'rinse' with it by mixing paste and water. Sensodyne works better the more you use it. Perhaps whitening just needs to be for shorter sessions?
Reply:You can buy special Fluoride tooth paste from your dentist that is better than anything you can buy in the store. My dentist suggest this. And this time when I used the strips it didn't hurt at all, but you can not eat, drink or rinse your mouth for 30 minutes.
