Hey all, I used these starting last week. What a difference!! Who would have ever thought they worked so well? I was going to pay a dentist 500 dollars to whiten my teeth and I am so glad I didn't. These things are amazing. I can already tell a dramatic difference and I am only half way done!! I am telling all myfriends about them, thought Id fill you all in too!!

how much do these cost

Hey, how do they compare with those gel/tray thingies?

They cost between $30 to $35, theirs a $5 off coupon in today's(sunday's) star ledger.

I have tetracycine-stained teeth. Does anyone know if the Crest strips will work on them? I had my teeth bleached once, but the stain comes right back. I've been told the only solution is porcelean (sp?) veneers, and can't fit that into my budget right now. Thanks for any info, and also, thanks to SweetMarie for sharing your discovery!

They only work on surface stains and only on real teeth not on dental work. Otherwise it is a great product!

I've used them a couple of times now and everyone comments on how white my teeth are. I ordered the Professional Strength Crest Whitestrips off the net the last time (Drugstore.com, I think) They cost more than the regular ones but work quicker and you get more in the box. The ones you can pick up at Wal-Mart, ect work well though. I highly recommend them. My dentist talked me into them and saved me hundreds of dollars.

how many are in the box,how often do use them,and how long does it last-i've heard nothing but good things about them

You get a 14 day supply. You use them twice a day for 30 minutes. I'm currently on day 8. They do work.

I HIGHLY recommend crestwhitestrips!! When I asked my dentist about teeth whitening, he suggested them. They are amazing! And they stay white for 6 months. My friends even noticed! Try them! They are worth every cent!

I just used these and was really happy with them as well. I don't think the results were as dramatic as several years ago when I tried one of those teeth molds type bleaching kits, but the results were still very noticable and I had a lot less pain (I have very sensitive teeth, I did experience some sensitivity when I used the strips right in a row, but not at all unbearable as when I used the molds) and it is so easy to use!

I've used these and I had more people ask if I'd been to the dentist and had it done...and I was only on the 5th day. The results last a good six months. For $37 bucks, versus 2-$500 at the dentist - I'll buy the crest white strips!

Ok so it takes 14 days, but then how long does it last?

If you read the posts you'll see that everyone has said that it lasts about 6 months!

has anyone used the new teeth whitener-i forget who it is by but you brush it on twice a day-just wondering if it is as good as the crest thing -it's alot cheaper-only around 15 dollars i think

by colgate? i'm wondering if it works too.

I was just wondering about the Crest Whitestrips. In the commercial it looks like the strip only covers the four front teeth. What about the side teeth and molars?

Thanks

xgirlx-it is by colgate-hope someone tries it soon

I tried these stripes and the first time I put them on my teeth, my teeth became SO sensitive that I did not eat for about a day in a half and stopped smoking because of the sensitivity. They felt like this for two days. It was horrible. I did see a difference in the color though, they do work, but I wouldn't do it again cause the feeling after words isn't worth it. So if you have very sensitive teeth and feel like not eating for a couple of days, go for it.....
I am trying to mention the goods and bads. Good-they do whiten. Bad-sensation too unbareable.

The strips are only for the front teeth, the ones that show in a smile.

I also had some sensitivity develop the first time through, on the upper teeth. I stopped for a few days, and it never came back.

I just ordered this teeth whitening thing, it's called fast white, does anyone know if it works. It says you get white teeth in 5 days and you see some difference in just 2 treatments, its cheap too. Anyone tried it?

Just remember that with these tooth whiteners the teeth don't stay white forever. From my obervations, they keep the teeth white for about 6 months then another application is necessary.

Yes, has anyone used Colgate's Simply White? It's only fifteen bucks... compared to the strips' thirty or thirty five! It looks like white on.
