Secondly, use the tooth paste twice a day on the upper and lower teeth, each time should not be less than 30 minutes, and the best time is 60 minutes. Similarly, if it is not applied flat during use, just press the two ends of the tooth paste with your fingers and gently pull it outwards, without using anything else. Finally, we should be careful not to irritate the gums at ordinary times. If there is any pain or redness and swelling, stop using it immediately and brush your teeth in the morning and evening.

Whitening tooth strips still have a whitening effect, but we should pay attention to the fact that it also has certain side effects. It may cause pain in our teeth. Some people may have tooth allergies. Even severe cases can cause teeth to become rough or cracked. It can achieve the most basic whitening effect. The principle of tooth strips on the market is basically the same. They use peroxide as a whitening agent, attached to a plastic film, and in close contact with the teeth for a period of time. Peroxide will penetrate from the surface of the teeth to the deep layer, and the coloring pigments will be disintegrated wherever they pass. So the tooth strips change the color of the entire tooth from the inside out. The active ingredient of the regular brand of whitening tooth strips is a low concentration of peroxide, generally below 10%. When used correctly, it can not only ensure the safety of teeth and gums, but also achieve a whitening effect. This has been confirmed by countless experiments. During the whitening period, due to the effect of peroxide on the surface of the teeth, the teeth will be more susceptible to the staining of pigments in food and beverages. So try to eat and drink white or colorless, such as water, milk, chicken, fish, etc. At least avoid tea, red wine, soy sauce, and some brightly colored fruits. Whitening teeth stickers are a new product that has been loved and trusted by consumers since its launch. You can use regular big brand products with confidence, but the wearing period should be calculated in weeks. It will take at least two weeks to have a more obvious effect. As for some whitening products of unknown origin, some increase the concentration of peroxide in order to pursue the effect unilaterally, which may damage teeth and is not recommended.

Generally, a course of treatment lasts 7-14 days. You can choose to use the whitening strips every day for one week or two weeks according to your needs. When using, spit out saliva at any time to avoid the dilution of saliva affecting the whitening effect. Each time is 30 minutes. You may feel sore teeth during use, which is normal and harmless. If the pain is unbearable, please stop using it for 2-3 days. If you still feel pain after continuing to use it, you need to stop using it.

Using regular whitening strips will not harm your teeth in the short term, but long-term use of whitening strips may cause tooth allergies, such as sourness, pain, fear of cold, and even infection. Long-term use will damage the enamel structure and make the tooth surface rough. In simple terms, it will cause tooth damage. Abroad, whitening strips are just a teeth whitening tool used by people before banquets, and there has been a trend of teeth whitening in China, but in fact, a mouthful of white teeth is not equivalent to healthy teeth.

1. Cause pain

Many beauty-conscious babies may feel toothache after using whitening teeth strips. The reason why whitening teeth strips make people feel pain is mainly because the hydrogen peroxide content in the teeth is high, which directly or indirectly stimulates the nerve tissue of the teeth. The pain caused by the teeth strips is most severe at night when sleeping, and in severe cases it may cause insomnia.

2. Cause tooth sensitivity

Whitening strips are mainly used to discolor teeth and make yellow teeth lighter. However, they should not be used for a long time because the discoloring agent is hydrogen peroxide. When the hydrogen peroxide contained in the whitening agent reaches 15%-35%, it is very easy to cause tooth sensitivity, oral soft tissue and gums will also be irritated. Therefore, whitening strips are likely to irritate the nerves and blood vessels at the edge of the gums, leading to allergies, such as sourness, fear of cold, and even infection.

3. Cause teeth to become rough

Since the hydrogen peroxide in whitening strips can irritate teeth, long-term use will damage the enamel structure, making the tooth surface rough, and in severe cases, dentin hypersensitivity may occur. Some beauty-loving babies who have used whitening strips even directly said that the whitening strips will corrode the yellowed enamel. It can be seen that the side effects of long-term use of whitening strips are also relatively large.

4. Side effects that lead to tooth cracks

Whitening strips may cause cracked teeth, which is also a side effect of whitening strips reported by some people who have used them. The main reason for cracked teeth is that whitening strips cause some damage to the teeth themselves, and the calcium content of the teeth of the patients themselves is not high and they are brittle. Therefore, during the long-term use of whitening strips, the tooth tips repeatedly collide with the upper/lower teeth, and the force generated becomes larger, which increases the chance of cracks.

5. Causes hidden cracks in teeth

Whitening strips may cause cracked teeth, which is also a side effect of whitening strips reported by some people who have used them. The main reason for cracked teeth is that whitening strips cause some damage to the teeth themselves, and the calcium content of the teeth of the patients themselves is not high and they are brittle. Therefore, during the long-term use of whitening strips, the tooth tips repeatedly collide with the upper/lower teeth, and the force generated becomes larger, which increases the chance of cracks.
