How often are crest white strips safe to use? i am very diligent about oral hygiene and brush with an electric tooth brush and floss daily. i want to make sure im not too rough on the enamel. i cant imagine you want to do it too often?

You are good at your oral hygiene protocol, so follow directions for using the white strips. Don't over use for a quicker whitening, you could cause enamel to become sensitive. It takes time for a whiter enamel, so be patient.
