Crest Whitestrips - Serious Question?!
Question:
Crest Whitestrips - Serious Question?
I recently bought the Crest Whitestrips Classic.
Per the instructions, I am supposed to leave the strips (top and bottom) on for 30 minutes.
Here is my question:
How can I stop producing too much saliva? With the strips in my mouth, I feel the urge to drool. LOL.
I couldn't even keep the strips in my mouth as long as suggested.
HELP!

Thanks for the answers. And no, my teeth aren't badly stained, but I would like them white. :)
Answers:
We all have our salivary glands triggered when we place something in our mouths which causes the drooling. Some people more than others.
If you had the object in your mouth constantly like an orthodontic appliance---professionals in our field have found that the body will give up producing the extra saliva AFTER 3 DAYS.
It's unfortunate that your mouth is continuing to do this and not slowing down much with your 30 minute whitening session. Stay close to the sink for the 30 minutes you are bleaching your teeth. Spit out the excess saliva.
Sorry to hear about your troubles---hopefully your smile is not too stained and you only have to do this for 7 to 10 days maximum at 30 minutes per day.
