QuestionWhen and how should I use teeth whitening strips?Dr. Tu Anh Vu is a Board Certified Dentist and Owner of Tu's Dental, her private practice, in Brooklyn, New York. With over six years of clinical experience, Dr. Vu helps adults and kids of all ages get over their anxiety with dental phobia.

She received her undergraduate degree from Bryn Mawr College and a DMD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.Teeth whitening strips are generally very safe for patients, although you won't get the same results as you would from a professional whitening treatment. Make sure to brush your teeth first so the hydrogen peroxide in the strips can penetrate the enamel better, and avoid eating anything for an hour after the treatment for the best effects. However, avoid using whitening strips if you have braces or restorative work such as fillings, veneers, crowns, or dentures.
