i actually will be using the crest white strips because my dentist admitted that they are better and cheaper..a friend at work used them and her teeth look great..
I've used the white strips and I love them. You can even use two boxes straight if you want to go all out, they say it's alright in the directions. They're about $30 each box, which is a whole lot cheaper than any dentist whitening.
I also used Crest Whitening Strips..target sells them for $22, which is a lot, but cheaper then going to the dentist. and the bleaching done by the dentist can strip the enamel off your teeth. and i def noticed a difference after a few days.
I was thinking of bleaching but I got the White Strips. Havent used them Yet. Does anyone know how long they last like that and when u can do them again? Like if I do it now. Can I do it again right before the wedding?

I don't know how long it lasts, but the box says to use them once a year. so wait until like 3-4 weeks before the wedding then use them.

Ok cool thanks..![]()
I was ready to get my teeth bleached. I had an appointment and everything. The dentist then told me that I am not a good candidate for bleaching. I had braces 3 times and she told me I have tooth enamel damage. If I bleached my teeth, she said the damage spots would show up more. I am upset. If I get cosmetic work done it is going to cost me a fortune. I really only notice it though...Thank God!
I used the strips about 1 year ago, and I still get comments all the time about how white my teeth look... I'd defintely go with the strips over bleaching... cheaper and not as damaging!!
I am using Opalesence which you can only get from your dentist. However it is done at home. And yes I see a bit of a difference. It costs $500 though. And more to have it done in the office.
The over the counter whiteners work, but they are temporary. If you drink red wine, coffee, tea or dark juices or if you smoke it will basically erase the whitening that you have just done because it really does not penetrate the enamel. The bleaching kits that you can get from you dentist are a lot more money ranging from about $400 to $600 for the upper and lower tray and they give most people excellent results. These whitening products penetrate the enamel they will give you dramatic results and last longer. The only reason why I know this stuff is because I am a dental hygienist.
Hi Jensun! I just made an appointment with my dentist for laser whitening... is that the same thing as bleaching?
