How do Crest 3D Luxe whitening strips work on teeth?

Crest 3D Luxe strips are flexible whitening strips coated with a peroxide-based gel that contacts the front surfaces of teeth.

Why can strip contact and tooth condition affect whitening results?

Results and irritation depend on contact time, gel concentration, fit, existing sensitivity and whether the discoloration is inside the tooth.

How can you use whitening strips while protecting your gums?

Follow the package directions, keep gel off the gums and stop if marked pain or tissue irritation develops.

When should a dentist check your teeth before using strips?

A dentist checks for cavities, gum disease, cracks and restorations before whitening, because restorations do not whiten with peroxide.

What dental findings should you discuss before using strips?

Get dental advice before use if you have pain, untreated decay, gum disease, enamel defects or extensive dental work.
