white spts after using crest white strips

Q. Hello Dr. Caplan. I have been using Crest Premium White Strips for about 3 days. I noticed from the beginning that white spots were beginning to form. I now have a rather large white spot on my teeth. The instructions say the white spots will go away after a few hours, but mine have not. They have been there for more than a few days now. What should I do?! Can I get rid of them??? Please email me back! Your expert advice is much appreciated. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Nick

A. The white spot are decalcified areas on your teeth.  These take up blach more intensly than other areas.  It may take a few weeks for them to become less noticable.
