WANT TO USE WHITE STRIPS BUT I'VE HEARD... (10 PTS)!!!?!


Question: WANT TO USE WHITE STRIPS BUT I'VE HEARD... (10 PTS)!!!?
My teeth have a yellowish tint to them & considering they are already crooked (can't get braces b/c of SEVERE gag reflex) I really want to use white strips but I've heard they strip the enamel off your teeth. I asked my dental hygientist specifically about this & she said that is not true but I continue to read it online. Is this true or not? Has this happened to u? Should I be worried about it? I already use a whitening enamel-strengthening toothpaste so even if it did do that, wouldn't the toothpaste make up for it? Thx!

Answers:

I work in the dental field and I've honestly never heard that whitening strip can take enamel off your teeth. I use the stronger version of whitening that you can only get form a dentist and havent had any problems. If your that concerned about it like you said your using enamel strengthing toothpaste you should be fine.



they do not do that, and they are not that affective, i have tried them before because i wanted a whiter and brighter smile, but i have found out that it is just like a teeth cleaning, it doesn't last that long, mine only lasted for a week after i used the 10 pack of them, i suggest using baking soda to clean them or whiting tooth paste, and rinse. hope this was helpful!

If you're not sure about it, I suggest you just get your teeth cleaned and whitened by a dental hygienists. If you're worried about enamel loss and tooth strength, I suggest you ask for a fluoride treatment as well.

dont do it. whitening strips take the top layer of enamel off your tooth to make your teeth white again resulting in your teeth being more sensitive. i do not recommend it.
