Do crest whitstrips really work...?

Question

Have you ever used them and how long until you actually saw results?

Answer 1

Yes they work ...slowly ! You'll get better results at home with a bottle of hydrogen peroxide ...swish on all teeth for a minute to 2 minutes and spit...don't swallow any...then brush your teeth right after and you'll see an immediate difference.

Answer 2

YES! They're great.

The only thing I would recommend is getting the the 1 week strips ($30) because I bought the 2 week strips, but I didn't stick to it. I had to go out and spend an extra $30 to buy the one week ones after that. Also, you see results much faster with the one week strips.

The only thing is the box says results last for 6 months, but I feel like they only lasted for 3.

Other than that, YES they do work. I saw a huge difference in my teeth, and so did everyone around me.

Answer 3

OK, I'm reading over all the answers that come before me and I see people rinsing with peroxide (!), talking about their teeth hurting, etc, all so they can have unnaturally white teeth. Does that really seem like a good idea? I'd bet you'll look just as good and feel better w/o the whitestrips.

Answer 4

They may work, but I would not use them because of health concerns. No doubt chemicals are used in these items to whiten your teeth. And, we are slowly but surely poisoning ourselves to death with so many different chemicals, that were never mean to be used on, or in our bodies. To me, and to others, this is one reason why so many of us are getting so sick so soon, at earlier ages. Some of the longest lived people on earth are those who live without so many chemicals in their foods and their envirnoment. To me, the chemical industry, the cosmetic industry, and the food industry are all in bed together, and the pawn that they are playing for is our health, but first of all they simply want our dollars, $$$. I have found out that whenever there is a conflict between money and our health, money alway wins, unless one is wise enough to prevent that from happening. See the book, "The Cure For All Diseases," by Dr. Hulda R. Clark, Ph.D., N.D. in the link below.

Answer 5

Thats funny, cuz Ive been using them for 2 days now, but only once a day. I do experience some tooth sensitivity, especially on the bottom. Ive done it in the past, and if it gets to be too much, just take a break for a day. After the whitening process, my teeth returned to normal, but they were still white.

Answer 6

OMG....I tried them once and whatever is in them made my teeth hurt really, really bad. The pain got so intense that I had to call my dentist at home and he told me to take 8 extra strength aspirin to kill the pain. He said some people can't handle those because they have more "pores" in their teeth than others. The bleach can seep into the enamel and cause nerve pain. I hope you're not in this group, but USE WITH CAUTION!!!!

Answer 7

The do work and you usually see results after a couple of weeks, however, if you have any caps on your teeth, do not use the whitestrips because your caps won't whiten like the rest of your teeth so you'll look pretty goofy.

Answer 8

Yes they do but they are not a permanent solution they work for a little while. So if you are going to a prty start applying a few days before. If you want a permanent solution, go to your dentist and request a treatment.

Answer 9
