I tried Rembrandt WhiteStrips ( 7 days). This is the first time I am using anything of this kind. I left the strip for an hour, and then I noticed that my teeth became brighter which is nice. But I also noticed a tiny stain that is bleach white on one of the teeth. It is so small, that you can barely see it. But if it was bigger, it would be really noticeable.
I did see this on some people's teeth.
Are stains like this one will become bigger? Is there any way to "smooth" the coloring? Did it happen to somebody? How did you fix it? Maybe it is better to just discontinue using it?
Thank you :) !

I am a hygienist, this is a common question. The white you are talking about will go away naturally - sometimes bleaching dehydrates the tooth structure exposing areas like this - it might take a little bit - a few weeks at most but it will go away.
The permanent stains you see on peoples teeth are caused by a a variety of reasons - Fluorosis occurs when people consume too much Fl2 or Fluoride as a child when teeth are developing and teeth develop white spots on them as a result. These spots can also occur for about twenty other reasons including demineralization which happens when plaque is not consistently brushed off and sits on the tooth eating a small hole into it - common on people with braces.
The stain will NOT become bigger. There is no way to smooth the coloring - it is naturally part of your tooth and was always present - the bleach just brought it out. Sometimes we call these spots "clouds" or "ghost spots."
Fixing it - discontinue product use and wait. It will relax a bit.
Good luck.

use Crest Whitestrips! I used that and they were fine, except that afterwards your teeth may feel a little weird.
and yes, do continue using it. and don't just look at the price, the quality does help, you know.
