Can a Crest Whitening Strip take your teeth to Dazzling in just 7 days?

The short answer is NO. A Whitening strip is a delivery system for whitener ingredients. The strip adheres to your front teeth and holds the whitening material against the enamel of your teeth. This in turn, whitens at least to some degree. These white stripes are available in a variety of local stores usually next to the overprices teeth whitening toothpastes that seem so popular today.

We all know that white teeth are a symbol of health and beauty at least in the industrialized west. They radiate a healthy persona and make anyone more attractive.

Stained and discolored teeth is the reason many of us want to find products like whitening strips. Keeping teeth from yellowing is a goal that many of us have, especially those of us who drink tea, coffee and red wine. Smokers have a real challenge as nicotine stains are quite difficult to remove from tooth enamel. There is no doubt that these strips like Crest whitestrips are very popular right now.

Adult drinking and eating habits do no service for keeping your teeth tier whitest. Good brushing and flossing only goes so far in relation to the staining capabilities of strong coffees and tea. Having your teeth professionally whitened each year is an option but the cost is not trivial.

The whitening strip option is seen almost everywhere on the television. The advertising blitz for this product is something that makes me a little uncomfortable. Why would they need to advertise a good product to that extent?

Whitener strips can make your teeth sensitive as do some home dental care products. I tried one whitestrip however that did a relatively good job in a short amount of time as long as I didn't overdo the time I used the product.

When I did use them aggressively, the white strip caused gum irritation and sensitivity to my teeth. I could actually feel vibrations in my mouth if music was played at a certain volume. Since I couldn't use the whitening strip every day, I wound up taking four weeks to finish the package. Although the results were ok, the discomfort and wait were not really worth it.

The whitening strip that worked best for me was from Crest and delivered good results in about 2 weeks. I used the product twice a day for a couple of hours and had no problems with sensitive teeth or gums. I prefer using this product as a touch up to regular use of my home teeth whitening kit. the kit just does a more complete job and whitens better and faster though it is a pain for touch ups.

Some people think that the whitening strip is an expensive product, but considering the cost to have my teeth professionally whitened, the cost is actually minimal. It may take a little time to find which home whitening kit is best for you, but once you find your ideal product, you'll be showing off a big, white grin.
