The Light systems don't do much beyond the first day. They give the appearance of whiter teeth for 24 hours because they dry the tooth (and thus customers will intially be happier). After that first day the diff between normal whitening and the light whitening is nil.

Can I use the Crest whitening strips without harming my teeth?

Hello Zarrin! Thank you for following! White spots can occur for various reasons. They may present as areas of hypermineralization that occurred during tooth development. There are dental procedures that use materials to help reduce the appearance of these spots. Perhaps your dentist can advise.

Hi Matthew, try using Sensodyne Extra fresh toothpaste, it helps with teeth sensitivity and whitens the teeth also. But if you want to achieve a pearly white teeth over a short period, use the CREST 3D whitening strip(20 days treatment). Brush with sensodyne toothpaste 30mins before applying the strips, it helps prevent sensitivity and in less than 2weeks, you would start seeing visible difference. i hope you find this helpful.

@bruhmoment49293 2 жыл бұрын

I just started using the whitening strips. I've seen a bit of change and im on day 2 now. But basically they are designed to be safe for your teeth if you use them correctly. They do not harm your enamel if you use them as the instructions tell you to. And also to add to it when you start doing whitening strips, its often recommended avoiding foods and drinks like coffee, chocolate sodas etc because they could cause staining or some harm, because the way the whitening strips work is that they basically penetrate a layer of your tooth into the enamel and then they chemically whiten the enamel of your tooth. So basically for a little time after using the strips, foods like soda and coffee can get into your teeth more easily and could potentially cause staining and erosion, so it is recommened that you stay away from those. You can find a list of all the types of foods you should avoid and what not to do after using them. But other than that, as long as you use them as instructed your teeth will be just fine. They might not work as well for everyone but for me they seem to be working great!
