Of course you can brush after using whitening strips! Most use the same bleaching compounds as "whitening" toothpastes.
Interestingly, you get more bang for your buck if you brush beforehand. It makes sense, scrubbing off any excess substances that would absorb whiteners, as well as creating a more even surface for the strips to work on.
There was a clinical trial done by R.W. Gerlach, et al. about this "Impact of Prior Tooth Brushing on Whitening Strip Clinical Response":
"According to crest, you should not brush immediately before applying the strips; but after applying strips, it is fine to brush gently"
Here is the Q and A from their site.
Q. Can I brush my teeth immediately before using Whitestrips?
A. Do NOT brush immediately BEFORE applying strips. To avoid gum irritation, allow for some time to pass after you have brushed your teeth to apply strips.
Q. Can I brush my teeth immediately after using Whitestrips?
A. Yes, after using Whitestrips, you can brush gently.

∙ 14y agothis really depends on what you get done of course. after a cleaning - of course after a filling. you should always wait. they are maluable materials that need time to dry. so it is always best to wait maybe an hour. after root canal. u should also wait about an hour and try to eat on the opposite side of tooth worked on until root cal is finished and temporary filling is replaced by real filling.

∙ 13y agoI've used Crest Whitestrips on several occasions. The instructions tell you to not brush immediately BEFORE application, but they don't mention anything about AFTER. To be save, I would wait at least half an hour after removing the strips before brushing.
