Can tooth whitening toothpaste cause sensitivity in teeth?

I started having trouble back in October. I went to the dentist, and he couldn't find anything wrong with my teeth. He said wait a little bit and see if it gets better. I just realized that my probelm started after I started using Colgate toothpaste with tartar protection and whitening. I have been using Sensodyne since the problem started and have not been using the Colgate, and while things are a bit better, I still have pain.

Reply:Yes, it can. If you use the whitening toothpaste to much, it can dissolve the enamel on your teeth. Drink lots of flouridated water, or ask your dentist for a flouride treatment.
Reply:Absolutely! I had one from by dentist and I already felt sensitivity on my first use.
