When the pain gets bad just remind yourself that it is only self-inflicted pain for the sake of vainness, it's not because you have a disease and are going to die. And make yourself feel better by telling yourself that other people are going through even MORE painful procedures due to vainness such as boob jobs, nose jobs etc.

also buy SENSODYNE toothpaste, it MIGHT help, might not help, but it wont hurt to try, it might ease the pain a bit.

Look at what one person wrote on another site:

"As the commercials show, the strips are really convenient to use. I used them while I chatted on the internet with my online friends. But the second time I used them, it hit me ---intense pain.

I felt a shooting pain in my mouth that was worse than when my wisdom teeth were infected. It was so painful, I felt light-headed and dizzy. I couldn't imagine what the problem might be as I had never heard of anyone having this problem with the whitening strips. I removed them and brushed my teeth to remove the gunk that the strips leave behind. Immediately, the pain went away.

Feeling brave, I tried the strips again two days later. And it happened again---intense pain. I contacted my dentist office and they said that some people are sensitive to the whitening agent in the strips. Sensitive? I was so far passed sensitive that the suggestion was laughable."

and

"I got through day two of the Premium strips, then woke up at 3am in pretty bad pain. I didn’t know it was the strips! So I actually went to our dental clinic out here and wasted their time on accident. The pain made me cry, which is embarrassing. I think the side-effects in the packaging are amusing: “mild sensitivity.” Ha. that’s like “mild discomfort” when you get staples in your stomach. they should be more realistic with the warnings - i wouldn’t have bought them. I hear the pain is due to chemicals in the gel irritating the nerves inside teeth. it’s temporary and has nothing to do with the enamel… not the pain part, anyway. Yeesh. It’s the end of the day… still waiting for the pain to subside, Aspirin notwithstanding."

and

"I am on day three of the 7 day Crest White Strips, I am so glad to see I am not the only one with this pain!!! I have had lot of dental work done in my life (braces, retainers… etc.) and I have never felt this kind of pain, is it normal to feel your friggen heart throbbing through your teeth?!?!!! I have even tried some tylenol 3’s I had left over from my wisdom teeth… this is ridiculous!! The even crazier thing is I can’t believe the unbelievable difference in my teeth, the color change is so dramatic, like night and day, thay are going to be so white, that is if I am not suicidal by the end of the week!!! haha! I trying to tell my self this is worth it, but this is crazy!! I am taking everyone’s advice and buying the sensodine, I hope it works!!"
