How to Use Whitening Strips

Traveling to the dentist for a teeth whitening session every few weeks can not only be time consuming but expensive as well. This is why many different companies produce teeth whitening strips. These strips, which resemble tape, are placed around the teeth and left on for a set period of time. The gel on the tape will whiten the teeth to a brilliant shade of white.
