Is it okay to use expired teeth whitener?
Question:
Answers:
Your ortho gave it to you so that seems like a safe source. Most doctors and dentists get boxes of samples from the sales reps, most are close to expiration.
It is as safe as the tube you would buy in the store. It will not poison you, but the active ingredients will just not be as strong.
Be careful with bleaching your teach though! Maybe Google around for some consumer reports. These products have come into fashion over the last ten years. Some people have complained that it stripped the enamel off their teeth, and your dentist won't care about that because it isn't physically harmful. It just means that you will need veneers within the next 10 years which is big money for him.
Also note- Bleaching your teeth will cause tooth sensitivity and "gray teeth". I would toss it in the garbage can after $5000.00 worth of cosmetic dental work on my own teeth. You just don't need it. Much better to brush with soft bristles, and floss 3 times a day.
ummm...
yeah i think so.
No.
do you know that when chemicals expire it would turn to another substance which is crucial to the person who is using.
So....Its up to you..
But for me i won't because it is not safe.
you said that your ortho gave you a six months old Rembrandt Teeth whitener, but you didn't tell the expiration date of the whitener. therefore, it's hard to tell whether its ok or not. since, your ortho gave it to you, i guessed the product is ok.
just make sure to use/handle the product properly and carefully.
