When to brush my teeth after using crest whitening strips?

Question

I have just bought crest whitening strips supreme. I was just wondering... when is the best time to wear them and when should I brush my teeth? I heard from someone that you shouldn't brush your teeth immediately after having used the strips. Is this true?

Answer 1

You brush AND floss thoroughly first before putting the strips on so that all the plaque is removed otherwise it will create a barrier and prevent the strips form working.  Then I suggest waiting about 30 minutes after taking the strips off before eating or drinking.  I believe the directions say to wear them twice a day for 30 minutes, so after breakfast and before bed would be good.
