I am having a home bleach treatment done and I am in a lot of pain

Q. I am having a home bleach treatment done prior to having two crowns replaced. My dentist has given me custom trays and gel to use for a fortnight before i have the crowns replaced. I have been using the gel at night for the last four days and the pain is bad. My dentist is on holiday at the moment and i wanted to ask can i use a tooth desensitiser product and would this affect the outcome of the whitening. Many Thanks sensitive toothpastes dont work

A. Its good to put Sensodyne or similar oin the tray instead of bleach for a few nights if they are very sensitive, then start the whitening again, Contact your dentist when he comes back from his hols
