Teeth Whitening Strips
This page will answer your questions before using teeth whitening strips.
What Are teeth whitening strips?
Teeth whitening strips are thin plastic layers used to whiten teeth by one to two shades. Most whitening strips rely on peroxide for bleaching.
What Should You Look for When Purchasing Teeth Whitening Strips?
The whitening compounds in over-the-counter teeth whitening strips are peroxide-based, typically containing carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide at lower concentrations than in-clinic whitening techniques or those prescribed by a dentist for home use.
Some strips might cause sensitivity and irritation to the teeth and gums, so it’s important to choose a type with lower sensitivity.
