okay, so i drink coffee daily and smoke cigarettes occasionally...and i have started to use the crest whitening rinse, i plan on using it once in the morning and once at night like the directions say, so my question is: for those of you who also used it twice daily like reccommended, how did it work for you, and how long did it take for you to see big differences in how white your teeth were/are....did it change many shades?

Jenny,
I honestly doubt if you see any major difference using the rinse. You would have to really know your tooth color because the change is so gradual and so minimal.
If you really want a change use the Crest White strips or the generic ones. They seem to work the best . . . compared to all the other over-the-counter products.

I drink coffee daily but don't smoke. I've used the rinse in addition to Crest Night Effects toothpaste for about 3 months and didn't notice any significant difference. I've stopped using it because whitening chemicals are too harsh and I don't want to damage my gums.
If you really want to see quick results, I would recommend going for a professional treatment. If you want white teeth for a special occasional, use the whitening strips. Be careful about overuse of the strips, it may damage the enamel.

Actually I have some too!
I am having my teeth cleaned this week so it should help.
I lost my sense of smell 2 years ago and it left me tasting only the first ingredient....Tastes and feels like peroxide right to the foam! I think Listerine and peroxide is the same thing as this stuff but whatever ...it makes MY TEETH AND GUMS feel good...at least until next week . no change in shade yet
