Most dentists will tell you to stick to one or two treatments per year. That’s like a dental vacation—twelve months of chill between bleach sessions. But wait, isn’t that a bit stingy? Maybe, but your enamel is the real VIP here.
If you’re using a gentle, lower-peroxide strip (like the ones you grab at the drugstore), you might push it to three rounds per year. Just don’t get greedy. Your teeth aren’t a whiteboard you can erase and rewrite on.
What about those “7-day” kits?
You know the ones—they promise a big change in a week. Those are designed for one full course per year. Doing it twice is like double-dipping in the guac: messy and rude to your gums. Your mouth will throw a tantrum, trust me.
I’ve seen people try to squeeze in four rounds in a year. Their teeth ended up looking like the inside of a microwave—weirdly shiny and slightly painful. Not a good look, my friend.
