Q. After two nights using NiteWhite ACP 22% I noticed white stains on my teeth. Should I continue with the whitening or will the white stains get even worse and more noticeable? How can I get rid of these white stains? Is it possible to get an even color now or are these white stains staying ? Can the dentist get rid of them ?

A. The white stains are areas of enamel that were white before you started treatment but at a level that was not noticable.  They become more pronounced during treatment but blend back in once bleaching is stopped
