- Consult a Dentist: If sensitivity persists or worsens, consult your dentist for advice and potential treatment options. They can help address any underlying issues and provide recommendations for safe teeth whitening.

4. Do teeth whitening strips work on all types of stains?
Teeth whitening strips work well for stains on the outside of your teeth, like those from coffee, tea or tobacco. But they may not work as well for stains that are deeper inside the tooth or caused by certain medicines or aging. For tough stains, it's best to see a dentist for professional treatment. Always check with a dentist first to choose the right whitening option for your specific stains.
5. How do teeth whitening strips compare to professional dental whitening?
Teeth whitening strips have a lower hydrogen peroxide concentration than professional dental treatments, resulting in better results at the dentist. However, the main difference is the cost. Dentist procedures can achieve up to an 11-shade improvement but can cost around RM600, whereas teeth whitening strips and at-home kits are much more affordable.
6. Can you use whitening strips on braces?
We do not advise using whiteing strips if you have braces because the gel can only affect the exposed teeth, potentially resulting in an uneven outcome. Having braces would not lead to optimal results. If you use a retainer, we suggest consulting with your orthodontist for guidance.
