“Some toothpaste have abrasive particles, which can remove superficial stains but can damage tooth structure over time. One brand that I recommend is Colgate Optic White because it ranks well on the Toothpaste Abrasive Index and whitens with hydrogen peroxide.”

According to the ADA, you should brush your teeth twice daily for two minutes. And specifically, for whitening toothpaste, you should not use the product more often than the label indicates (for example, once or twice daily for six weeks) or as your dentist advises.

Also if they contain peroxide for the bleaching action that it has for whitening, it will eventually cause more erosion of the outer layer and hence sensitivity and weakening of tooth structure. Prolonged use can lead to sensitivity which is evident in your case.

No, it is not recommended to go to sleep with toothpaste on your teeth. Toothpaste contains ingredients that can be harmful if ingested, and leaving it on your teeth overnight can cause tooth sensitivity and irritation.
