Hello Moms: I'm looking for a recommendation on whitening strips that you can buy at the local drugstore. Does anyone use these? I have heard mixed things about there safety etc. Please let me know your experiences.

Thanks for your time.

What can I do next?

Hi R.,

I tried the "Crest Whitestrips Renewal-Age Defying Strips". This product was on sale at Walgreens and guaranteed whiter teeth in 10 days or your money back! I bought this item about a month ago and I honestly noticed a difference on the second day, it did work for me. My teeth were clear and whiter (others noticed too). However, I did experience sensitivity after using it on the 4th day. I continued using the product, but only once a day for 30 (mins) instead of twice a day as instructed. I would use it again if I need to since I seen the results and I also like the money back guarantee if it does not work!

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I used the Crest Whitestrips (the ones that came out originally) and it did make a difference. My husband noticed that my teeth were whiter too. My dental hygienist told me that they do work but ofcourse since they only cover the front of your teeth, those are the ones that get white. But that was good enough for me.

Hi R.,

I would inquire about the Zoom 2 method at the dentist. It is a laser whitening that is done in the office in 20 minutes; same day. Immediate results! I loved it. I also have plastic teeth trays that I touch up every 6 months. The over the counter stuff only lasts for as long as you keep doing it over and over again. If you want immediate results to last for a couple of years and you drink coffee, tea, or chocolate often then find out about Zoom 2. It's 65 percent less sensitive than the original Zoom method.

Good Luck with your million dollar smile!

My dentist told me the over the counter stuff would work on my teens but not so much for me & she was right. I ended up getting the whitening gel & custom trays from the dentist. After 10 days of treatment I had countless compliments & I touch up every six months or so.
