Tried a $6 Walmart whitening strip on one side only and scared myself at 2am
Two weeks ago I got bored and stuck a cheap whitening strip on just my left front teeth to see if the drugstore stuff is a scam. My right side stayed normal, and for 14 days I walked around looking like a before and after photo cut in half. The left two teeth picked up maybe one shade, tops, and now one of them is slightly sore when I drink cold stuff out of the tap in my kitchen. So the comparison I actually learned is drugstore strips vs just leaving your teeth alone, and the winner is leaving them alone. Anyone else had a strip make one tooth hurt or is that just me?
the sore when you drink cold stuff thing happened to me too, but it went away after like a week of not using them. i just switched to swishing with water after coffee and that did more for me than strips ever did, honestly. maybe give your teeth a break for a bit before trying anything else.
