This is my first day using this product and my teeth have splotches of white, but aren't white all over. Normal? Does it go away with continuous use?

You can spread the solution evenly over the surface of your teeth with a Qtip to help get a more even whitening effect.

I did not experience this, but I used the q-tip technique to evenly spread the gel over my teeth. I highly recommend doing that!

I always buy bleached because it fades over time to a natural color, and right out of the package it is a stunning white. Not fake looking at all. My bottom teeth are natural color, but it doesn't look ridiculous with the bleached Imako teeth.

From what I read it doesn't absorb the calcium salts that tooth enamel is made of so it shouldn't. I only use it for 5 days at a time . It does a fabulous job of whitening. Not unnatural chiclet whitening but a noticeable difference.

Hi Kelly,I have know idea sorry, I just use as directed per directions on the box. however I find that this product foams up to much when I put it in the teeth tray and when pressed to my teeth it all foams away. does look like it works though my teeth do look whiter. I will buy 22% ACP next time not the 14%.

It's meant to keep tartar off the teeth over time. I don't think it's meant as a teeth whitening product. Sorry.

No, that is not normal. It should be white, and it has a thicker consistency than hand lotion or conditioner. Definitely return it. Im sorry you got a bad batch!

Hi, it sounds like your teeth are very sensitive. From my experience with this product it will definitely hurt if the Crest white strips are hurting. There is a 16% day solution available that would be less painful as well as a sensitivity solution that you place in the trays after the whitening to stop pain. I hope this helps.

If the tooth you are talking about is a front tooth it might not match up after you use the whitener. I have a small "white " filling between my front teeth and you can see a little difference in the color. But in my case it is not a concern, if however it were an entire front tooth, I would be careful and maybe use a 15 or 22% gel.

I apply once a week. If you're just starting & your teeth are not very white, you might want to start off using it every day or every other day for a week.

I use it only once after my morning brush with regular toothpaste. No specific length. I follow it up with 20 min of oil pulling with organic coconut oil. My teeth ate very white after.

Brian, I think any whitening action would be accomplished by the toothpaste and/or mouthwash you use. The brushing action of the Sonicare is aggressive enough that it should remove surface stains but YMMV :).

I was not aware of the two versions until just now. However, I used the regular one. I have pretty sensitive teeth and did not experience any problems whatsoever. Now that I know about the speed whitening product, I will try that one and post my comments shortly thereafter. I am very pleased with the results I have achieved with the regular version. Saw results after one use. I used it the first time for 20 minutes. I used it every day for two weeks, and then continued to use it for about 3 times a week after that. I have recommended it everyone!

I did it several days in a row when I first got them - don't remember how many.After a couple of weeks, I did a couple more....I don't want my teeth looking like they did when I was four years old.....I think older wrinkled faces with brightly shining pearly whites look odd and artificial.But, these stopped my granddaughter from asking "Papa, why are your teeth yellow?", and used now and then they eliminate the stains from coffee and other stuff I put in my mouth.Talking to your dentist isn't a bad idea....mine doesn't whiten his own teeth, but then he's 10 years younger than I am.....

I just used 20% salicylic last night on my face and the white frost appeared around my mouth only. This morning it still burns and is darker in color, not to mention dry. I'm a little freaked out by the discoloration. Will try to update results. If anyone has had this happen would love to hear results!!!

I also purchased these capsules to use for teeth whitening. After using them for a month now I can say that they did help to remove stains (caused from drinking coffee and tea), but bright white like the chemical teeth whiteners no. I am very happy with the results from brushing daily with the activated charcoal. My teeth are much cleaner after brushing with the activated charcoal than they were with regular toothpaste. There is no plaque buildup. I love it!

I'm not a dentist, but I've tried other teeth whiteners that seem a lot stronger than this & haven't damaged my teeth. To be honest I won't buy it again because i don't see any difference with it - sorry
