Any dentists about?

I'm in soooo much pain with my bottom teeth. I have this radiating pain that keeps coming and going and it feels weird. It's suddenly come out of nowhere but it's painful.

I have been using tooth whitening strips lately so I'm guessing it could be something to do with that Sad

Anybody ever experienced this before?

It'll be sensitivity caused the the whitening strips. They're actually really bad for your teeth and gums unfortunately

Use some de sensitising toothpaste. Just dab a bit on at night as well as brushing with it
Stop the whitening
Get it checked by your dentist

Hypersensitivity from the strips.It escalates the longer you do them. Stop them. Sensitive toothpaste smeared around the base of your teeth several times a day.
It should settle within a few days. If it doesn't call your dentist as there are de-sensitisers they can apply.
