    Default Crest Whitestrips

    I just bought these hoping to avoid paying to have my teeth professionally whitened. From previous posts, i know some have tried these but how did it turn out? I'm not looking for the dramatic blinding white, but definitely a noticable difference. Is it really worth it to go out and have them professionally done?

    Yes, I have used the Crest strips and I noticed a pretty big difference. Try them!

    my mom works at a dentist office, so Ive used the 'professional strength' ones because thats what they have available..
    anyways

    they work extremely well...

    BUT

    use them sparingly/cautiously.

    I noticed that if I used them more than about 3-4x a week, my teeth would be very sensitive for a few days

    so now, I use them probably...once a month for 10minutes at most-it kind of gives me that 'pick me up' in whiteness and doesnt cause any sensitivity

    (but it also might be the fact that we have the pro ones)

    hope that helped

    I've used the premium Crest Premium Whitestrips (they work in seven days) recently, and they worked wonderfully. I did notice some sensitivity, but nothing major. I recommend them

    Yeah, they worked for me too!
    For the price, they are definitely worthwhile even if you have to do it every year.
    I also recommend getting a sonicare. They really keep your teeth stain free!

    The sonicare toothbrush rocks! Everybody should go and get one, it's like massaging your teeth everyday. I'll keep you guys posted on how the strips turned out, but i've only been able to get them in once a day vs. the directed twice. Well, here goes day three

    I'm a smoker, as well, and whitening did not defeat my purpose.

    I actually had mine professionally whitened back in 1994. The sensitivity that I endured was bareable, but extremely there! :o

    Once a year I rebleach. You will have to do this whether you smoke OR not! Everytime I've rebleached since the first professional bleaching, I use OTC products. My teeth have been incredilbly white for 10 years now.

    Try the strips ... you won't regret it!
