Hey everyone-
have any of you used anything that is out there to whiten your teeth and has it worked? I was just wondering if someone could find this out for me.

Yes those work great I work at a denist office and we have them but its a much higher whiteing % to what you can get in the store something to rember it that if you have any kind of dental work done to your teeth like crowns, feelings, things like that that spot will not whiten so be carful if you have had things done to your teeth and you are trying to whiten them also it you are pg dont try to whiten your teeth right now its not safe for the baby check with your dr frist. Hope this helps.

they make your teeth more sensitive in the short run, so if you have sensitive teeth, I wouldn't recommend it. I fell asleep once by accident with them in and couldn't eat for 3 days. It was soooooooo painful.

Well then erin, dont fall asleep. Laughing Laughing Wink

they're kinda nasty when they're in your mouth, but they really do work. If you want white teeth its worth it. Or you could just go get them bleached. Which is expensive but its the best.

Crest whitstrips or anything like that is bad for your teeth. It strips the enamal..

The only good one is the thingy at the dentist when they shine the light at your teeth for like an hour

I tried those gel things. I dont know if they work because I always get fussy and always rinse them out. I can never leave those damned things in my mouth.

But yeah, crest whitestrips are amazing.

Never had braces either! I only have slightly crooked tooth, its not that big of a deal and definitely not worth paying to get braces to straighten it. Haha. And my teeth are pretty white too...But I wanna get them bleached. So I can have that super-model white look. Laughing Laughing
