The short answer
Crest Supreme is a home whitening strip product; the right use depends on its peroxide formula, fit, contact time, and the condition of your teeth and gums.
How do whitening strips act on different types of discoloration?
Whitening strips hold a peroxide gel against the front surfaces of the teeth, where it can act on some intrinsic and extrinsic discoloration. They cannot bleach fillings, crowns, veneers, tartar, or untreated decay, and uneven contact can produce uneven colour or gum irritation.
What steps should you take before using Crest Supreme strips?
Read the exact package directions, keep strips on the intended teeth, and do not extend contact time. Do not place them over ulcers or inflamed gums, and have pain, cavities, recession, or a dark tooth assessed first.
When should you stop whitening and seek dental advice?
Stop and seek dental advice for persistent sensitivity, gum whitening or peeling, ulceration, or pain. A dentist should examine a single discoloured tooth before cosmetic whitening.
Would another whitening method better suit your teeth and gums?
Ask whether the product matches your dental findings, how restorations will match, and whether a custom tray or in-office method is a better fit.
