Crest white strips - do they work?

Has anyone used this stuff? Did it work? Is the whiteness longlasting? Did it make your teeth more sensitive? Consuming too much green tea has discolored my teeth but I don't feel like spending $400 for teeth whitening.

worked well for me. definitely some pain, have a few Bailey's beforehand and you'll be fine. BTW, Cask & Cream is half the cost and tastes better, much more whisky in it too. mmmmmmm cask & cream.... gotta run.

I have really sensitive teeth from years of brushing too hard. So bad that when I go in for my semi-annual cleaning they use a topical numbing gel. That said, I've done two rounds of the white strips and they work pretty darn good with minimal discomfort. The results won't be as good as the pro job but for $30 I'm happy.

Just remember if you have a veneer, cap/crown, bridge or implant the color wont change equally (or at all) with your natural teeth.

THey work. I only had a problem with discomfort if I tried to use more than 2 in a row.

If they make your teeth sensitive use Sensodyne toothpaste. It will help reverse the sensitivity. But the bleaching strips can work, they may give you pain and they will not change the color of artifical dental work..only natural teeth will whiten
