Another important thing to note while reading the instructions are the recommended time periods between applications. Using tooth whitening products too often can also lead to tooth whitening sensitivity.

3) See your dentist. If you are certain you’re doing everything right and still suffering from sensitivity after your tooth whitening applications it could be a sign of other problems that are unrelated to the whitening process. Your dentist might also be able to recommend alternative treatments that will be less abrasive or lead to less sensitivity.

While there is no one  solution to fix this type of sensitivity,  there is also no guarantee that you will experience it at all, however if you do these few things it can help  limit the amount of teeth whitening sensitivity you experience.
