Should I use whitening strips before or after brushing teeth?

In general, whether you are looking to maximize the effects of whitening strips, or the tooth-protection properties of sodium fluoride toothpastes, DDS's are recommending that there is at least a 30 minute span between the treatment and any further cleaning, eating, rinsing, drinking, etc.

i use whitening strips for my teeth and i do it after i brush my teeth because if you do it before you brush your teeth you have to brush super super gently. If you do it after you brush your teeth make sure you wait 30 minutes after you brush your teeth because the dentist said if you do it right away it can be uncomfortable

The strips are not worth it and taste nasty. Use the crest whitening mouthwash. It works just as fast and you see results in like 2 days

Most sources say you should brush after & only a few said you should brush before but if you are going to brush before don’t use toothpaste just use water.

You should use them after brushing your teeth. Brushing first ensures your teeth are clean, free of plaque and food particles, which allows the strips to make better contact and adhere properly. This way, you get more even whitening. Also, brushing after using the strips might increase tooth sensitivity since whitening products can sometimes make your teeth a bit more sensitive. So, it's best to stick with brushing first, then applying the strips.

Have you considered NOT using them because they're a waste of money to capitalise on peoples' insecurity about the colour of their teeth?

Perhaps whoever decided to invent them should also make pillow-whitening strips too, for people who are insecure about pillows becoming yellowed over time.

After… make sure all the gunk is off your teeth when you apply them. Also, ask your dentist about the best one for your teeth. The OTC stuff isn’t all good/healthy for you.

consider the natural color of tooth material is yellow.

only fancy lawyers pretend to hav white teeth to sway the jury, in film intolerable cruelty.

After. Removing plaque helps peroxide a bit to reach enamel of your teeth a little bit faster.

I use them after then I brush my teeth again to get rid of extra strip gunk.

I heard that they make things worse, They make your teeth weak and transparent.

I don’t know, If it’s true though.

Why not go to the dentist and do a teeth cleaning?

The strips are too expensive anyways!

After. Brush and floss and mouthwash first. Then whitening strips

[RedInnocent69]

After. Before and you’ll scratch the enamel that will already be soft/sensitive from the strips, and it will hurt like hell.

Brushing teeth with the strips on would be quite dumb.

After. Get all the junk off before using the strips.
