Has anyone tried Crest Whitestrips before, if so o they really work? Are they worth buying?

I'm trying to find teeth whitening products or if you have any ideas to whiten teeth, anything can help me.

    When I asked my hygienist how much the dentist charged for whitening, I about swallowed my teeth right there! She whispered to me "Crest Whitestrips" are pretty good.

    I bought the middle-of-the-road priced package and had very good results. Because I am budget-minded (and you really don't see my bottom teeth much), I used them only on my upper teeth. I can tell you that I was pleased (and could see the difference between the uppers and lowers).

    Please know that when I say I was pleased with the results....I do NOT like those who have the super, super white teeth (they almost look blue). That being said, I was pleased with the 2-3 shade difference it made, and my teeth look "naturally" white.

    Yes they work! I suggest using the daily whitening. It takes 5 minutes a day. You'll see a difference in about 12 days and it lasts. The other kind, which says you'll see a difference in 2 or 3 days really hurts. It makes your teeth sensitive. Use the daily once a day for 2 weeks then you can use it once a week until the pack runs out. I also suggest leaving them on 10 minutes.

    Stay away from the professional teeth whitening procedures and from the whitening at home kits. They are using extremely toxic chemicals that can cause IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO TOOTH ENAMEL and premature tooth decay.

    Check out this site: http://www.naturalwhiteteeth.net/ - It's about how you can whiten your teeth 100% naturally. Same results but 100% safe and 1000 times cheaper.

    I used them and they really worked for me. I would definitely recommend them. I think the amount of change in your teeth depends on how white your teeth are before you start using them. But, if you have sensitive teeth I would recommend you try Listerine Whitening quick dissolving strips. They are better for your sensitive teeth, and they taste good unlike the Crest ones. I've tried both, and they both work very well.

    Honestly, I had the hardest time getting them on my teeth in the first place, and they have a horrible after taste. Also, they left a gauze-like substance on my teeth. I don't think they are worth buying. I think you are more likely to get your moneys worth if you just go the dentist for a whiting session. :D

    I'm using them right now, and they somewhat are worth it. It does clean your teeth but when I used it, it burned my gums. I might have had it on to low. But if your not sure about trying them talk to your Dentist first. And it is really hard to get on your teeth you have to like dry your gums and teeth and make sure nothings wet so you can get them on.

    They are definitely worth buying! First of all, they don't even cost very much but they will make your smile so much brighter! They are so easy to use and they work within the first few times!
