Hello sir...
Teeth whitening can be done at home which is called home teeth whitening technique.. This also can be done under the guidance of dentist.... In office teeth whitening is more effective than home bleach technique...
Sensitivity of teeth is due to so many cause like cavitation on your teeth, cervical abrasion, erosion due to faulty tooth brushing technique... Or enamel erosion due to chemical drinks...
Yes, listerine can use as a regular mouth wash twice daily after food...
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist immediately to rule out the cause of sensitivity and management...

Namaskaram,
The process of home teeth whitening done by custom-made flexible plastic trays and as you already know you have sensitive teeth, there are precautions you can take before beginning the teeth whitening process. A qualified dentist can suggest you right home teeth whitening agent after clinical examination for best results. Long-term usage of Listerine can cause mild staining on your teeth.
