I got my tooth whitening trays and gel syringes of 20% Opalescence, however the whole office was in a meeting and no one really explained how to use them. I know to put a thin layer of gel in the tray but for how long? Do I brush before or after? Does the gel have to be kept at any temperature?
--------------------
Brush before using without toothpaste (just a little water). You'll probably want to brush after to get everything off your teeth. Use the trays for 1 hour, once a day - leaving it on longer doesn't do any harm, but after an hour, it's not really active anymore. The gel can be kept at room temp (just be sure to avoid keeping it somewhere too warm). Another tip - I find that using the trays dehydrates my teeth, so immediately after taking the trays out the teeth look somewhat chalky and I can see little lines that I can't otherwise - this goes away about an hour after I'm done bleaching as saliva can reach the teeth again, but before I knew to expect it, it kind of freaked me out.
