There are a few things to consider as you think about purchasing teeth whitening strips. First of all, how often do you plan to use them? Typically, a cycle for using whitening strips will last ten to fourteen days and will require you to use whitening strips for 30 minutes a day once each day. However, it’s not mandatory that you use the whitening strips this often, and you can often see results even from less frequent uses. Also, you’ll notice that the number of strips included in most teeth whitening kits is double the number of sets included. This is because you’ll place one strip on your top teeth and one strip on your bottom teeth each time.
Another thing to think about is what else you’ll be doing as you use the teeth whitening strips. Many strips allow you to talk and drink water while the strips are in place, but not all of them allow for this. If you want to be able to multitask while using your teeth whitening strips, this is something you’ll want to look for as you shop.
Do you have especially sensitive teeth or gums? If so, you may want to look for kits that are bleach-free or fluoride-free. This will give you effective whitening and strong results without putting your mouth through unnecessary risk or discomfort. There may still be mild side effects regardless of what teeth whitening strips you use, but the effects may be less severe if you use a kit that is specially designed for users with more sensitive teeth.
Lastly, you’ll want to pay attention to how long the whitening effects are guaranteed to last. The average length of time is about six months, with some products offering up to a year of whitening. With increased time comes higher prices and possibly longer cycle times, so you’ll have to decide if having whiter teeth for a longer period of time is worth the extra costs and treatments.

A: The most qualified person to answer this question will be your dentist. However, based on the product descriptions we’ve read, we can tell you a few things. First of all, whitening strips are usually not recommended for anyone younger than 12 years old. They are also not a good idea for anyone who currently has oral cancer, or who has recently had oral cancer, as well as anybody who is currently being treated with photodynamics. If you have especially sensitive teeth, there are whitening strips that are better for you to use than others; however, if you’re worried about any discomfort or pain that whitening strips might cause, it might make sense to hold off on purchasing until you’re able to bring up the conversation with your dentist about what might be the best option for you.
A: Whitening strips can sometimes cause slight pain and discomfort in both your teeth and gums. The worst pain happens if you already have existing gum inflammation or a cavity on your teeth. Any side effects that are normal are usually temporary and mild. However, it’s smart to only use whitening strips for the recommended timeframe or cycle listed on the box (this is almost always four weeks or less). You should also keep them out of the reach of children, and take special care to not swallow the whitening strips.
