3D whitestrips professional effects teeth whitening strips kit
Whitening strips and professional whitening use peroxide, but professional treatment is planned around enamel, gums, staining and restorations.
How do whitening strips compare with professional whitening?
Whitening strips and professional whitening use peroxide, but professional treatment is planned around enamel, gums, staining and restorations.
How does peroxide reduce colour in enamel and dentin?
Peroxide breaks down colored molecules in enamel and dentin. Crowns, veneers and fillings do not change color like natural teeth.
What should you check before using whitening strips?
Follow product directions and keep gel off the gums; a dentist can check decay, cracks and restorations before choosing trays or in-office whitening.
When should you stop whitening and contact a dentist?
Stop and seek advice for severe sensitivity, gum burns, swelling or pain; an isolated dark tooth needs examination first.
What should you ask about strips, restorations and sensitivity?
Ask what caused the stain, whether whitening is suitable, which restorations will not whiten, and how sensitivity will be managed.
