How many days should you use Crest 3D White Strips?
Use whitening strips only for the course stated on the package, stopping sooner if pain or marked sensitivity develops.
What are whitening strips and how do they whiten teeth?
Whitening strips are flexible plastic carriers coated with a peroxide gel. The peroxide enters enamel and dentin and changes some stain molecules, while excess gel can irritate the gingiva or temporarily increase dentin sensitivity.
How can you follow a whitening strip course safely?
Check the product leaflet for the wear time, frequency, and maximum course, and apply strips to clean, dry teeth without covering the gums. Do not extend the course, sleep in the strips, or combine them with another peroxide product unless a dental professional has advised it.
When should you stop strips and arrange a dental examination?
Arrange a dental examination if sensitivity persists after stopping, the gums become sore or pale where gel touched them, or one tooth remains dark. Seek urgent care for facial swelling, fever, or trouble swallowing.
What should you ask about whitening your teeth with strips?
Ask whether your enamel, fillings, crowns, or gum margins are suitable for whitening and which schedule fits your product. Also ask how existing restorations may differ in color after natural teeth lighten.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use strips longer for a whiter result?
No. Extending the course can increase irritation and sensitivity without giving a predictable benefit.
Will strips whiten fillings?
No. Peroxide changes natural tooth color, but fillings, crowns, and veneers do not whiten in the same way.
