The active ingredients in whitening strips vary, but many use carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Whitening strips bleach off surface stains. They also penetrate tooth enamel and dentin to remove intrinsic stains from deep within the tooth. If not used correctly, they can be harmful to your teeth.
It agitates the fibers in dentin, so the teeth becomes more sensitive. Basically, damage to the teeth happens or sensitivity becomes increased when the level of hydrogen peroxide is too high. Strips are made out of hydrogen peroxide, there is no alternative to whitening.
