I got free teeth whitening from my dentist. I have been using it every night for 4 months. My dentist wanted me to give it a break but I can\u2019t stop. Today and lunch, I felt this horrible electric shock through my bottom teeth. I thought immediately that it must be from the whitening. I am scared that I overdid it. Now every 15 minutes or so the shock comes back. It won\u2019t stop. Could this really have come from the bleaching gel? I just took an Advil. Is this going to go away? I\u2019m too embarrassed to call my dentist because she told me to stop whitening a long time ago. Thanks. Shellie<\/p>\n

Shellie \u2013 It is likely that the sensation you are feeling in your teeth is from the free teeth-whitening gel<\/a>. Hopefully, the Advil will give you some relief. We recommend that you stop using the bleaching gel. Give your teeth a break.<\/p>\n

If the pain becomes more frequent, or if it increases over the next day or two, call your dentist to have your teeth examined. If you have time today, you can try using toothpaste for sensitive teeth, such as Sensodyne, to see if you get some relief.<\/p>\n

Risks of Using Too Much Free Teeth-Whitening Gel<\/h2>\n

Many people over-bleach their teeth. It\u2019s important to follow your dentist\u2019s direction on the frequency for doing touch-ups.<\/p>\n
