Crest White Strips

[happybratpack]

Does anyone here use these? How are they? I have super sensitive gums, do you think they'd be ok?

Any better brands?

Want me to stop asking questions now?

Thanks!

My Teens us them. They use the Crest Premium White Strips. After they got their braces off they needed to whiten their teeth. They have no problem with using them. I have the molds that you put bleach in. They will be a problem if you have sensitive gums.

They worked great for me! My Dh joked that my teeth were so white that I hurt his eye when I smiled. My teeth did get a tad sensitive after a bit (not the gums...my actual teeth).

I've used them (before I did Britesmile). They work pretty good. If your gums are sensitive, you just need to be careful about putting the strips on. Just make sure that the strip goes to the edge of your teeth but not on to your gum.

I used them and really liked them. Don't use the paint on kind - don't work as well.

Thanks everyone...I'm going to get some of these tonight and try them. My sister has the ones w/ the molds; she doesn't have sensitive gums but said they really bothered hers.

Get the Crest Premium Whitestrips. They work better and faster than just the Crest Whitestrips. I think it's something like $36.

Also, if your teeth are discolored due to medications when you were younger (grey discoloration instead of yellow) they may not work at all.

My dentist told me to try these (instead of spending $600 with him for bleach trays). I got about 3 shades lighter with Crest. 7 months later, I went to another dentist and did Britesmile (which cost $500 and only takes an hour). I got another 5-6 shades lighter! When I need a "touch-up" I use Tres White (got from same dentist).
