Many have been edited so to limit their scope to subjects discussed on this page. I understand less frequent may help avoid side effects. But do I use it say every other day for a week? A month? Until I feel my teeth are white enough?
The kit I have has 14 sets of two strips each. So that means 2 kits per year would be a total of 28 treatments per year. Can I use it every day, once a day for 28 days? I have the Glamorous White strips. I got this from Costco so it came with 4 treatments of the one hour express strips. Can I use this in addition to the 28 max per year? Beyond that point, using more strips will not create further results but will still have the potential to cause side effects. Extending the time frame, reduces the potential.
If side effects crop up and you want to continue, let things settle down first and then try wearing the remaining strips even less frequently. If with your first kit problems did occur, it makes no sense to continue treatment with a second kit immediately. With dentist supervised treatments, using the equivalent of two kits back to back would likely be tolerated uneventfully by most people.
But when on your own, you should error on the side of safety. Wait some weeks at least until any residual sensitivity has disappated before starting up again.
In regard to the express strips, the concentration of whitener on them will be greater than with your others. So, expect more potential for side effects when wearing them. So consider the express kit as your second annually-allowed kit. It says it creates more saliva so can you swallow your saliva during the treatment or do you have to spit it out? Best practice would be to spit it out. Swallowing bleaching compounds will tend to create the side effect of throat irritation. The only difficulty I have had is the amount of saliva produced, which I did not want to swallow.
And the more you think about this, the more you produce. So, what worked for me was, once the strips in place, folding a square of absorbent kitchen paper into a pad, placing it over my lower teeth with my tongue resting on this, and replacing the pad from time to time. This absorbed any saliva and removed the problem for me. Not an attractive look, so obviously only useful in fairly solitary confinement!
Would using one strip a week 3D White Luxe have a positive result or do they have to be used closer together? So whether you use say 14 strips at a rate of once a day or once a week, the total cumulative whitening effect should be the same.
However, using them once a day will likely produce results fast enough that you notice that your teeth are lightening. I have sensitive teeth that have become yellowed over the years.
I can see a difference in my teeth: they are no longer yellow. Will I continue to see an improvement in the color as I complete the 28 days? After I complete the 28 days, what should the maintenance schedule be using gentle strips again? Once a week? Once a month? One full week every other month? Thanks so much for your help. Incidentally, I do not smoke, drink coffee or tea, or drink red wine. The whole whitening process is simply cause and effect the greater exposure to the peroxide concentration, time , the greater the whitening effect speed, level of results.
Sooner or later a point is finally reached where no more whitening effect is possible the teeth have lightened as much as they will. It may be tedious and a waste of materials but then at least you are more in control of things. As far a touch ups go, you might just wait to see how noticeable any relapse that occurs is before treating it.
As compared to most other Whitestrips products Gentle Routine strips create a relatively minimal exposure to peroxide relatively low concentration whitener, short treatment duration. Having sensitive teeth involves pain and discomfort caused by various triggers, including:. Tooth sensitivity due to whitening strips may continue for several days. If you develop this side effect, take a break from the strips before using them again.
The peroxide in whitening strips might also irritate your gums. Often, this happens if you use the strips for too long or wear them incorrectly. Like tooth sensitivity, gum irritation can last a few days but is also temporary. In some cases, whitening strips can cause tooth damage.
The peroxide may destroy the layers of your teeth, causing demineralization and erosion. This is more likely to happen if you overuse whitening strips. Your dentist can determine if whitening strips are safe for you. If so, they can recommend the best options and explain how to use them. They may also suggest toothpastes and toothbrushes that are safe to use with whitening strips. Just be sure to do it gently to avoid irritating your gums. Another option is to brush your teeth before using whitening strips.
This is ideal for removing plaque, which can get stuck beneath the strips. Wait at least 30 minutes before applying the strips to avoid gum irritation. Crest 3D Whitestrips Sensitive.
