There is absolutely nothing wrong with using expired white strips. Health wise, you'll be fine. The reason there is an expiration date is because the materials that make up the white strips may weaken over time.
The main ingredient in the white strips is peroxide. There are no harsh or hazardous chemicals in this product.
It won't hurt to try them out. The only thing that may go wrong is your teeth may not whiten due to a weakened product.
To get the best results, follow the directions carefully. Do not brush your teeth right before applying the product or directly after. Since they are expired, I would suggest keeping them on a little longer than recommended.
Happy whitening! :)

oh i so wouldnt do that.... some chemicals get harsher the longer they sit... would suck if you put the strips on, and it screws with the enamel on your teeth.. if you REALLY want to use them, call the 1800 # on the box, thats listed on or in the box. Ask them. they should be able to tell u if theres any side effects....

Odds are that if the package is expired, the ingredients will have degraded to where the stripes will not do any good.

The peroxide will clump together, and your teeth will whiten in clumps... not a good idea.

They will be o.k. It is just hydrogen peroxide.
