Crest 3d professional effects review
Crest 3D Whitestrips use peroxide gel, and the result depends on the product, contact time, tooth colour, and restorations.
The short answer
Crest 3D Whitestrips use a peroxide whitening gel on a flexible strip, and the result depends on the product, contact time, tooth colour, and the condition of the teeth.
Which teeth and restorations can whitening strips change?
Whitening strips act on natural tooth structure but do not change the colour of crowns, fillings, veneers, or other restorations.
How can you use Whitestrips while limiting irritation?
Read the exact package directions, keep gel off the gums, and stop using the strips if marked irritation or persistent sensitivity develops. A dental examination should come first when teeth are decayed, cracked, or painful.
When should sensitivity or irritation be checked by a dentist?
Seek dental care for severe sensitivity, gum burns, uneven darkening, or pain that continues after stopping the product.
What should you ask about stains and supervised whitening?
Ask whether the discolouration is intrinsic, whether restorations will match afterward, and whether supervised whitening or another treatment is more suitable.
Frequently asked questions
Could this have another cause?
Yes. An examination is needed when different dental or oral conditions can produce similar symptoms.
What should I bring to the appointment?
Bring a list of medicines, relevant medical conditions, when the symptom began, and anything that makes it better or worse.
