Whitening strips are better than toothpaste. Whitening strips contain a certain amount of hydrogen, which is much more than the toothpaste we use every day. Therefore, it can have a better whitening effect, but you must persist in using whitening strips. If you expect to see results after using it once or twice, that is impossible. Even if you use medical methods to whiten your teeth, it is impossible to see the whitening effect in one go.

Frequent use of whitening strips can cause teeth to become sensitive, which means that the enamel on the surface of the teeth is damaged. Therefore, do not use whitening teeth strips every day. It is more appropriate to use them once or twice a week. Don't rely on them too much.

It is important for everyone to remember that whitening teeth strips that are not produced by regular manufacturers should not be used. Some unscrupulous businessmen will increase the whitening ingredients for the purpose of whitening effects, which will damage the teeth. Everyone must pay attention and must buy whitening teeth strips from big brands. Although the effect is slow, it will not harm the teeth.

Healthy teeth are not actually pure white, they will be a little yellow, so there is no need to pursue the whiteness of teeth excessively. Normal daily dental care can maintain healthy teeth. In order to protect our teeth, we should pay more attention to dental care instead of relying on some tools for whitening.

People with dental problems cannot use whitening strips

Whitening strips are not suitable for everyone, especially those with dental diseases. "Tooth enamel plays a role in protecting the internal dentin, but some people's enamel is naturally underdeveloped, and they themselves are not aware of it. Once whitening strips are used, the acidic components in the strips may destroy the enamel and cause damage to the tooth surface. If used by people with healthy teeth, it has a self-recovery function after a period of time. People with symptoms such as periodontal atrophy will irritate their gums and cause dental nerve pain when using whitening strips. Especially for people with tooth allergies, once pulpitis is caused, it is difficult to recover." Oral experts remind that it is best not to use whitening strips, especially for children and young people. The pulp angle of these people is relatively high and not fully developed. Whitening strips will stimulate the dental nerves more. The enamel of the teeth is also relatively thin and sensitive to cold and heat. Using strips will damage the teeth.
