- Should I brush my teeth after using whitening kit?
- It's safe to brush and floss your teeth after using whitening strips. It won't reduce the whitening effects of the treatment. Manufacturers recommend doing so gently. This will help you avoid gum irritation and discomfort.
- Do teeth whitening kits have side effects?
