I resisted teeth whitening for several years, distressing my wife - and possibly others who said nothing. I did not like seeing old people whose teeth looked like a four-year olds!! Anyhow, read a short blurb in Reader's Digest or Popular Mechanics or somewhere that reviewed Over-The-Counter whitening, and THIS was the one the dentist who was writing recommended. So, I bought it, and I recommend it highly. It's a little inconvenient to put the strips on - I find they stick better when I use a towel to dry my teeth first. But there are lots, so you get to practice and you'll get better quickly. I especially like the fact that your teeth get whiter gradually - you can stop when they look the way you'd like them to. If you want really bright shiny teeth, then maybe the dentist or one of the other OTC brands would be more what you're after. These were perfect for me.

They make no medical claims but I can tell you your teeth will be very white after using. I use it once in a while and wait till it at about 1/2 strength. Never swallow it just rinse or brush with it.

Temptooth is really only to be used to replace one tooth. I have been using it for about a year and it really works well. I don't think it would look natural using it for more than one tooth.

I usually have throbbing painful sensitivity when using these strips but I found that if I use Sensodyne toothpaste for a week prior to starting these and continue using it twice a day on whitening treatment days the sensitivity is greatly diminished for me. Hope this info helps.

You would probably want to use it at least once a week going forward - I love the results, but I also use Crest White strips _ so it could be a combined effect.

Mine came with zero instructions on how to use but, as I've used several of these style produced in the past, I just applied the same rules with this. Each tube given has a measurement on its side for ounces, using even numbers starting at 2. I used one ounce in each tray. They say its enough gel for double the uses than I was able to use. I found if I used less, not all of each tooth got covered well and it isn't whiten as nice. You can try and preserve you supply by using 1/2 an ounce for each tray but I think you'll find a full ounce much more effective. I'd leave it in at least 10 minutes so your teeth ave tie to whiten. I wouldn't do more than 15 minutes because it some times will cause tooth sensitivity like many whiteners do. I did find my first usage to make my gums white in spots, even with the half ounce amount. Please don't freak like I did, if you give our teeth a soft brush to eat the gel, off and wait an hour, you'll find he worry was for nothing as your mouth is back to normal :) it's kind of the same with any whitener... Some times the gums get temperatily pale. Happens to everyone I know that's done it.

That is not my understanding of how teeth whitners work. However, I suggest doing a search for information from the American Dental Association and some scientifically oriented articles to learn for sure (not retailers' sales pitch information). An alternative would be finding a knowledgeable dentist that you can trust (good luck with that nowadays) and ask.

Ok so I assume you already went to the dentist and got the plastic retainers that you can actually put the whitening on. FYI you can just squirt the whitening gel on your teeth. You need to put the gel on the retainers and then wear that. Kinda like a mouth guard, over night. Or for 2 hours. So anyways on the syringe it should display how much for day 1, day 2, etc. that's the amount you can use per day. I place an even line of the gel on the inner part of my retainers to where my teeth are facing out. And then out the retainers on. With the 22% you should be feeling pain after 1 hour and a Half to 2 hours into it. That's usually a good indication to take them off. Rinse your mouth with water to make sure you get all of it out and then brush your teeth. You should be good after that. You may or may not feel extreme pain. I advise to take 1 day breaks in between. Good luck ! :)

I used them one year ago and had sensitivity for up to 2 days after each application; so I'd wear them every 3 days. I think they work if you can get past the sensitivity. This year I had the same sensitivity issue and I actually only got the nerve to use 2 strips - maybe I'll try the rest in the near future. Trying a new toothpaste now which whitens without sensitivity. I'll post a review of the whitening results after my 3 month trial - no sensitivity though!

They do not have any claims on the box or tube about whitening teeth, and I have not noticed a difference in the shade of mine. For that you may want to try the popular 'Crest Whitestrips' ('Supreme' being the best of all - available on Amazon).

Hi :) I would hightly recommend that you don't use this product. I have healthy gums and teeth, and this gel literally burned like crazy! I had to remove it - and I have a super tolerance to pain! If I were you, I would stick to the Crest strips :)

Assuming there is no sensitivity use the strips everyday for two weeks straight. Then use the strips twice a week with baking soda the rest of the time.Then use the the strips once a week and stay at that level. Depending of the whiteness depends on the quantity of the strips. Use less for maintaining, and more for bringing to level of increasing whiteness. Start using toothpaste with whitener and/or baking soda in its ingredients to maintain white. Use strips as needed. Good luck. Respond if you have more questions. Would like to keep up with your progress.

I have sensitive teeth and it is fine. I would not buy it again though. So gimmicky. I use my own sonic toothbrush and then this paste because I don't like the brush it comes with. The whitening strips are so much better.

The whitening gel makes your teeth sensitive so the blue gel helps take that sensitivity away. If you have sensitive whey not just use sensodyne toothpaste. It works for me

That's up to you - it comes with nothing like that. You can use it dry or you could buy something like you described. Myself, I use ordinary toothpaste. OBTW, that whitening cup really does work &#128149; fabulous white results you would never get with just paste and a brush.

Well I use this brand because of my sensitive gums and teeth, plus I use mouth wash and I floss. I also use whitening strips.

Well, I'm a much younger person, aged 70:), and it sure worked for me. That said, don't expect it to work on bonds, dentures, implants--anything other than your natural enamel. Yours will lighten but not white enough to look 20 again. Sorry. :)
