What is the direct answer?

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

What does this question mean?

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

What can you do next?

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

When should you seek dental care?

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

What should you ask the dentist?

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