How long to leave whitening gel on teeth?
It is important to follow the specific instructions provided with your whitening gel product, but generally, you should leave whitening gel on your teeth for the recommended amount of time to achieve the best results.
- Most whitening gels are designed to be left on the teeth for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Some gels may require shorter or longer application times, so be sure to read the instructions carefully.
- Leaving the gel on longer than recommended can lead to tooth sensitivity or irritation, so it is not recommended to exceed the recommended time.
- After the recommended time has passed, you should rinse your mouth thoroughly with water to remove any remaining gel.
- It is also important to avoid eating or drinking anything that could stain your teeth for at least an hour after using whitening gel to allow the whitening process to fully set in.
