Yes, a nightguard can cause teeth sensitivity if it is new or if it is not fitted properly. Some sensitivity with a new guard you are not used to can cause increased sensitivity, but if it causes too much of an issue later on, you should speak with a dentist about getting a new molded guard made.

Can you whiten children teeth?
It is not recommended to whiten children's teeth with whitening strips or other commercially available whitening agents. The reason is that children's teeth have relatively large pulp chambers, where the nerve of the tooth resides. Whitening can cause severe tooth sensitivity in people with large pulp chambers. Whitening is not recommended before the person is in their early twenty's or at least late teens. By then the pulp chambers have shrunk and sensitivity becomes less likely. Even then, sensitivity can be an issue. Fortunately, if sensitivity becomes an issue it usually resolves itself by stopping the whitening process.
