I just got invited to go to a Mardi Gras ball on February 18, and I want my teeth to be pretty. I can't afford to go to a dentist for professional whitening, so I was wondering if anyone had any idea which of the over-the-counter whitening strips/products would work the best and fastest, because I have less than 2 weeks! Thanks in advance for your time!

Avoid coffee, tea, smoking and yes, store whitening products work... most have an active ingredient of h2o2 (hydrogen peroxide) and baking soda. If you want fast results brush teeth with baking soda and a 50/50 mixture of h2o2 and h2o..... taste like dung, but your not swallowing the stuff. just dip brush in solution and dust bristles lightly with baking soda and scrub away!!! P.S. using a 50/50 solution of h2o2 and h2o makes a very hygienic mouth.... kills more germs than scope or Listerine! (according to microbiology)

well, i just bought the crest premium whitening strips. you use 2 a day, top and bottem twice a day. and i noticed it helped a lot after 2 days. you only use them for 10 days
only problem i had, was after the 3 day my teeth were so sensitive. i had to stop using them, the 5th day i used one, then the 7th day i used one and i've had overly sensitive teeth again, and its now day 8. but i can see it really helped, i'll just do one every 2 days or so until i'm done with the box.

Most of the branded whiteners work well, just look for one that works quickly. Enjoy the ball!

Crest White Strips worked pretty good for me.

yea they do work. They also damage your teeth and make them weaker. Use whitening rinse.
