I just answered that question in whanda, thought it might help others,

The question was:

WHY DO I HAVE TEETH SENSITIVITY AFTER TEETH WHITENING?

WHY DIDN’T  MY TEETH WHITENING LAST?

In my opinion, do not use over the counter whitening products , having said that you need to see a cosmetic dentist, to check if you do have any micro fractures, or micro cracks,? is there any recessions of gums or gingivae? if so you need to be tested re sensitivity!! or evaluate if you need dental bondings on the root area PRIOR to start your teeth  whitening!! is there any abfractions ?
also if there is internal or genetic discoloration ? if so whitening would not help much.
are your gum pockets in good shape? Is there any inflammation of gums, or gum disease prior to teeth whitening procedure?

and is there any leaking fillings in your mouth!
sometimes teeth whitening can cause more damage unfortunately , depending on the concentration of the bleach product.,, and does not help your wants at all !! also depending on your eating and drinking coffee , tea, red wine , etc …. ,you might be defeating the purpose of receiving your white smile.
First thing make an appouintment with a Cosmetic dentisit for a complete evaluation.

Tooth whitening products  are  available for home use to remove external stains by abrasion or by bleaching teeth. Their safety and effectiveness vary according to the type used.

Kits that contain abrasive agents can give you a white celebrity smile initially by removing surface stains, but they can be harmful over the long run because they accelerate the natural aging process, in which the enamel of teeth is slowly worn away to reveal the yellow dentin behind it, or can cause recessions on gums (meaning the roots will be exposed) and consequently cause TOOTH ABFRACTION on the roots of teeth concurrent with sensitivity to cold and air.

It is of utmost importance to have the abfraction checked by the COSMETIC DENTIST ,so the sensitivity be stopped. there is various treatment that can help further breakdown and abfraction of the roots, including but not limited to, DENTAL BONDING, or possibly DENTAL VENEERS or LUMINEERS.

iF YOU DO HAVE ANY EXISTING SENSIVITY ,I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO DO ANY TEETH WHITENING OR BLEACHING OF TEETH ,till all the  necessary treatment for the sensitivity is rendered.

Teeth bleaching or TOOTH WHITENING PRODUCTS,are usually carbomide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide derivitives, and of course with different concentration. In my opinion you should be screened for your gums, root sensitivity, any micro cracks, microleakage possibly from your fillings , or abfractions by a dentist before you put whitening and bleaching products in your mouth.

In summary I highly advise you to have a full check up and consultation with an EXPERT COSMETIC DENTIST, before you do any kind of teeth whitening, to avoid further damage to your precious teeth and smile.

Studies show that two out of every five adults take some type of medication that could have dental related side effects. Depending on  your  age, this chance can be  doubled.
In addition to prescribed and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements can also cause oral health issues .The side effects can range from dry mouth  (causing cavities or tooth decay ) to inflamed gum (gingivitis ) to taste altercations and possibly bone loss (periodontal disease).

Some of the most common side effects from medications that affect oral health include:

.Dry Mouth , in which can lead to bad breath , or HALITOSIS

.Abnormal Bleeding

.Altered Taste

.Inflammation, Mouth Sores, or Discoloration of the soft tissues in your mouth

.Enlarged Gums

.Cavities

.Teeth and Gum color changes (stains),

Some drugs can cause intrinsic stains of teeth,meaning ,teeth whitening products  can not alter the color any more,and you might need dental veneers or porcelain veneers to mask the discoloration.

It is best to have the COSMETIC DENTIST , or DENTIST ,to be in communication with your physician and you ,in order to provide optimal health care. It is of utmost importance that you do fill the health questionaire properly,and know your medication and dosages.

“Periodontitis or gum disease are caused when bacteria from plaque deposits on the teeth and bleeding gums invade tissue and penetrate beneath  the gum-line….. the damaged tissue may become a gateway to the bloodstream, and eventually, the heart and other Systemic Organs.

Patient’s motivation to floss should be greater then ever!

A second study showed that tooth decay increased the risk for heart disease by one and a half. Further research shows that people who are diabetic are at a greater risk for developing heart disease if they too have periodontal disease. Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums in which can lead to periodontal disease.

Also remember that bleeding gums or gum infection can be treated with various surgical or non surgical therapy options, and controlled with regular cleaning dental appointments and a proper home care routine of brushing and flossing.

please have your gums checked before commencing any cosmetic dental treatment,including but not limited to  dental veneers, full mouth reconstruction, dental implants, or smile make over.

There is a direct link between preterm labor and gum disease (Periodontal Disease) in pregnant woman.A study showed  that oral bacteria associated with a mother’s periodontal disease was connected to the death of fetus.

the pregnant mother had experienced exessive bleeding of the gums (in which 75% ofpregnant woman experience due to hormonal changes) which allowed  a bacteria (fusobacterium nucleatum) to travel from the mouth in to her blood stream and eventually into placenta.Post-mortem the same bacteria was found in the baby’s lungs,and stomach,and the final report stated thatdeath was due to a septic infection and the inflammation caused by that bacteria!!

The testing strongly suggested that the bacteria were delivered through the blood!!!

As  a dentist in los angeles ,i am encouaging women who are pregnant,or wish to become pregnant ,to maintain great oral hygiene,and visit their dentist and report any excessve gum bleeding immediately.

As a cosmetic dentist a word of advice : do your yearly full mouth evaluation ,including periodontal charting,and possibly xrays to avoid unwanted problems,!there has been proven link between  untreated gum disease or periodontal disease ,with systemic conditions ,related to the heart and lungs among others.
