Is my toothache a cavity or a result of Crest Whitestripes?!
Question:
Is my toothache a cavity or a result of Crest Whitestripes?
My farthest right tooth of my four front teeth has been aching like crazy for about a day now. I know, it's only been a day, however, I'm concerned for the following reasons:
1. There is a weird spot to the corner (touching one of my two front teeth) that looks like decay/a cavity, however, my dentist told me it wasn't a cavity.
2. I've been using Crest Whitestripes for the past six days and the instructions inside say that some people experience tooth sensitivity when using the product, however, if this is true, why is only one tooth?
I've been using a toothache relief cream to stop the pain as well. And I've been wearing a retainer at night for the past three years.
Please help!
Is my toothache a cavity? Should I book an appointment with my dentist?
OR
Is it a temporary result of my Crest Whitestripes? Should I just wait it out?
Answers:
It could be because of the whitestrips. Stop using it for about a week and it should go away. Mines go away with 2 days. If it doesn't I would see the dentist again. Good luck!
