Crest Whitening Strips..

Ok Crest offers four diff formulas: Classic, Premium, Premium Plus, and Renewal.

-Now which is best for a first timer?

-Do you really see any results from these and how long do they really last?

-Are there any restrictions wiht what to eat or drink? like no pepsi or coffee or chocolate or something?

-I know you’re sposed to leave the strips on the upper and lower portion of your teeth for upto a half hour twice a day. how does it feel to wear htem? Are they annying or uncomfortable?

-Finally, are there any side effects to using these?

I know Rembrandt also offers the same product but it’s lesser known I think. Has anyone used Rembrandt/Oral-B? Which is better?

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

I used Premium for my first time.

-I definately have results, my parents asked me if I had had my dentist whiten them :smiley:

-No restrictions on what to eat. But your teeth become sensitive while using them after a coupe of days so I cut back on acidic juices and cold drinks. Your teeth get back to normal about 3 days after you’re done with the strips

-They aren’t that uncomfortable, but it’s hard to talk with them in place.

-Only side effect is temporary sensitivity.

-Rembrandt is cheaper because it’s not as good.

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

Thankyou maddy, so premium it is.
it’s on sale , i hope they still have it :blush:

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

yah premium is good, i used like half of them, and teeth were noticably whiter.

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

So do you have to finish out the whole course, i.e., use all 28 strips for 7 days for hte best and long lasting results?

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

the perxodide levels of what dentists use are 3-5 times higher than the leading OTC whitening gels etc, strips are usually weaker.

look at peroxide levels and then get the highest u can find.

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

Um i dont hav time to go to a dentist for a professional cleaning..
The professional ones have 6.5 percent hydrogen peroxide.so i’m assuming the premium ones have 4-5 %..is that a decent amnt?

I dun wanna end up like Ross on friends :emmy:

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

how long this whitening last, for months ?

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

They feel kinda uncomfy on there.. :(

Re: Crest Whitening Strips..

err no they dont have 4-5% they have a fraction of that, look at the label. and dentists have products that are in the 10- 15% range
