How long should I leave this on my gums and do I rinse afterwards?

I left it on and repeated application if my toothache warranted it. I never rinsed and had no ill side effects. Check the ingredients and see if there is any component(s) you need worry about; there were none for me. Hope this helps!

I leave mine on for at least one hour. You can leave it on longer if you like, but some people complain of it causing sensitivity (ie; teeth "tender" to cold liquids etc. I have a friend who leaves it on overnight.) I've never had any problems with cold sensitivity myself and I've left it on for as long as 3 hrs. before. I don't think it'll make your teeth any whiter after an hour, or so......it's done its job and the potency has fizzled out. One thing I have noticed is DON'T eat anything with strong color after you've used this product. Like carrots or wine....I did my usual treatment, brushed my teeth then ate some carrots....then went to put my makeup on and freaked as my teeth were very orange! It came off pretty quick with another brushing...still...freaky.

I believe 15 minutes like ot says on the instructions, though I caution you this is not a safe product!! It will eat your gum line and turn it white, like dead skin! It also burns incredibly bad! Dont put yoir oral health at risk!

Yes, you brush your teeth first, floss, no mouthwash, apply Opalescence PF 35% between 1 or 2 hrs if you can stand it (I do ). When I am done, take out trays I clean them softly with the toothbrush, rinse your mouth only 2 or 3 times to get the access gel off, no mouth wash. 2 things I have found out, Relief ACP is a gel almost like the whitening one but this is to soothe your gums and teeth sensitivity and it is great because it actually makes your teeth shine. Right after I whiten, rinse, I put the Relief ACP in the trays and keep them up for an hour. Also Colgate has a special toothbrush called Floss Tip Bristles, it is extremely soft bristles and it is great in case your gums are sore or burn, great investment. One more Tip Using Rembrandt Deeply White mouthwash will actually help remove wine, cigarette, and other dark fluids that may stain your teeth in between whitenings. Good Luck !!!

Wow are you serious? I leave mine on all night and take them out in the morning. Is this why my teeth sting when I do this?Typically about 7 hours. Is this wrong? I often get comments on how white my teeth are though.

Sensitivity may occur and this is what this is for..if you experience a burning sensation or irritation from using the whitening solution, brush your teeth, and simply apply a small amount to your teeth traus and wear them for 30 min.. remove and rinse trays and your mouth with cold water. I've only had to do this once and only on lower gums, so I did not use the gel for the top. You can use this twice per day until symptoms are relieved. Do not use the whitening gel while treating your sensitivity.

Hello, It is recommended to brush after use, to remove the gel from your teeth after the treatment. You should be able to get multiple treatments out of one syringe, you can simply place the cap back on the syringe and place in the refrigerator, it will stay fresh for up to 2 years refrigerated.

My dentist says to leave it on for 45 mins at the 35% level. If you are looking for something that you can keep on longer, the 20% formula can be worn while sleeping, as it stops working after 8 hrs. The 35%, as this is will make your teeth more sensitive, and be sure to brush them with toothpaste not just rinse when you remove the trays.

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.

I am not sure what you mean by that question sorry. Using once does make a difference and i wouldn't recommend leaving them longer than 30 minutes. They are a 2 week supply but i did not use them regularly. I did more like every other day. The teeth do become sensitive and i had a concern with the peroxide in it.

No ! Once it is installed it's permanent . You have a lever switching it from faucet to cleaner. This is a great product. I try to use it after each meal. My dentist cannot believe how clean my teeth are and gum tissue in perfect condition. Got to Oral Breeze.com this will give you all the info you need. Good luck !

You should use it for seven days straight. If your gums get irritated back off. My gums never bothered me. I then use the product when I think I need to. You will see a difference.

You just use it after the conditioner and leave it 3 minutes.. rinse well =)

Actually, I leave it on till it's gone because you need such a tiny bit and it's not unpleasant tasting so I seldom bother to spit it out, but it works "instantly" so if you want to spit it out after two or three minutes, you could easily spit. Just put a tiny bit on the tip of your index finger and rub it around on the sore spots, adding more as needed to cover more areas....then wait a minute or two. Mine disappears, so to speak, but if it bothers you and the pain is gone (which it will be) then spit out anything that's left, but don't rinse. If you have a bunch in your mouth, then you used too much!

I use soap and water to clean the tongue cleaner every other day. I sit it on top of my dental floss container when I'm not using it to remind me to use it.

The best way to keep it fresh is to store in the refrigerator. Caveat: if you've done this before, you do know that this product contains, hydrogen peroxide. I found the 20% to be too strong; it left my teeth quite sensitive to heat and cold. I had never used this high a concentrate. If this doesn't bother you, fine. However, if you're a first-timer, I would select 10% or less. I've had to use a prescription fluoride toothpaste my dentist gave me which is helping. Ice cream? Out of the question. Using a lower strength may take a bit longer, but better to be safe than sorry. BTW, you must have trays that fit your teeth with the gel. Hope this helps.
