After the one year of Crest White Strips?!
Question:
After the one year of Crest White Strips?
I'm about to use Crest Whitestrips and i was wondering, it says that it last for about 1 year. What happens after that one year? Does your teeth go back from being the way it was before you used the whitestrips?
Answers:
The effects of using the strips are supposed to last around a year. After that your teeth may gradually get darker, especially if you drink dark items like coffee, tea, red wine, or dark juices. It is best to drink these through a straw so that they don't contact the teeth. Typically I recommend to my patients to do another set of strips if they feel like their teeth are getting darker again. But then again, I have some patients who are happy with their tooth color for longer than a year. If you are going to whiten you should consider having a cleaning first so that there is no buildup (stain, tartar, plaque) on the teeth that will prohibit the strips from working well.
Hope that helps!
