Step-by-Step Crest Whitening Strips Instructions

Step 1: Preparation

  1. Brush Your Teeth: Begin by brushing your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste. This removes any plaque or food particles and ensures better adhesion of the strips to your teeth. Avoid using a toothpaste with whitening agents right before applying the strips, as it may cause irritation or reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
  2. Dry Your Teeth: Use a towel or tissue to gently dry your teeth, especially the area where you’ll apply the strips. This helps the strips stay in place and improves their effectiveness.

Step 2: Apply the Strips

  1. Peel Open the Pouch: Open the packet containing the whitening strips carefully. Remove one strip and make sure it is for the correct set of teeth – one for the upper and one for the lower.
  2. Position the Strip: Place the whitening strip onto your upper teeth, aligning it so it covers the front surface of your teeth. Press it gently to ensure it adheres properly. Do the same for your lower teeth.
    • Tip: If the strip overlaps onto your gums, it may cause irritation. Adjust the strip to only cover the teeth. If any excess strip hangs over, fold it behind your teeth.
  3. Press Firmly: Gently press the strip against your teeth to ensure it stays in place. The strips should comfortably mold to the shape of your teeth.

Step 3: Wait for the Treatment

  1. Leave the Strips On: For most Crest Whitening Strips, you should leave them on for about 30 minutes, but it can vary depending on the specific product. Make sure to follow the recommended time on the packaging.
  2. Avoid Eating or Drinking: While wearing the strips, avoid consuming food or beverages, especially anything that could stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, or coloured drinks.

Step 4: Remove the Strips

  1. Peel Off the Strips: After the recommended treatment time, carefully peel the strips off starting from the edges. Dispose of the strips in the trash (do not flush them down the toilet).
  2. Rinse Your Mouth: Gently rinse your mouth with water to remove any remaining gel. You can also brush your teeth lightly to ensure your mouth is fresh and free of residue.

Step 5: Repeat as Needed

  1. Daily Use: Most Crest Whitening Strips are designed for daily use for about 10-20 days, depending on the product. For optimal results, follow the recommended number of treatments on the box. If you experience any irritation, take a break and resume when you’re comfortable.
  2. Results: You should begin to notice a visible difference in your smile after a few treatments. Full results are typically achieved after completing the entire course.

Important Tips and Warnings

  • Sensitivity: If you experience sensitivity while using the strips, consider using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Discontinue use if the discomfort persists.
  • Keep Out of Reach of Children: Crest Whitening Strips are for adults only. Do not use if you are under the age of 12, pregnant, or breastfeeding without consulting a doctor.
  • Storage: Store the strips in a cool, dry place. Do not expose them to excessive heat or sunlight.
