How does Crest 3DWhite Luxe affect natural teeth?
Crest 3DWhite Luxe uses peroxide whitening strips that contact natural tooth surfaces, while restorations respond differently or not at all.
What is a peroxide whitening strip and where does it rest?
A whitening strip is a flexible carrier coated with gel that rests against the front surfaces of teeth.
How should you apply and remove whitening strips safely?
Read the product directions, place strips only on the teeth, and remove them if burning or marked pain develops.
When should you see a dentist before using strips?
Arrange an examination before using strips if you have tooth pain, cavities, cracks, gum recession, or ulcers.
How might strips affect your teeth, gums and restorations?
Ask whether the product suits your teeth and gums and how restorations will affect the result.
