Hi,
Whitening toothpastes and certain mouthwashes and contain alcohol and other chemicals that can make your teeth more sensitive especially if tooth dentin is exposed. Hence, avoid the old tooth paste and continue with new one.Healthy food and adequate nutrition is also important.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
