Crest whitening strips damage teeth?

I bought these crest whitening strips that last 7 days. And have been feeling a lot of pain, i dont know if they are literally dissolving my teeth. or my teeth are just being sensitive but, can they damage my enamel even though the box says enamel safe? and are these pains usually permanant?
--------------------
no, the pains you're having are completely normal. you're probably just a little sensitive to the product, and it happens to most people. since you have the ones that are for 7 days, its stronger, so its going to hurt more than someone using a 14 day kit. the pains usually go away after 2-3 days.by the way, they clean under the enamel, so it doesn't damage your teeth. edit: don't listen to what attractxox said, i asked my dentist right before i started using them if they were safe, and he said he recommends them to most patients. however, if you are feeling discomfort after 3 days, start using them every other day, or discontinue use and see your dentist. happy whitening!
