Yeah, happens to lots of people. The best thing to do would be for her to try an over-the-counter toothpaste like Sensodyne or if that doesn't help, then to ask her dentist for a prescription for a high Fluoride toothpaste like Prevident.
Also, she should ask her dentist for a lower percentage whitening gel. If she's using anything higher than 10% carbamide peroxide, she should ask for a 10% syringe. That would lessen the sensitivity the next time she bleaches.
