The crest whitestrips premium are very good! I used them and my teeth were noticably whiter after just 2 uses. After using the whole box, it looked like I had the professional whitening done.

I myself have used whiteners and other over the counter agents to defeat plaque and I have to say they only work for a short period of time.  Be sure you follow your other recommended uses of taking care of your teeth.  To understand its benefits and pitfalls, talk to the pharmacy or your dentist.

I advise my patients to use \n\nColgate Sensation Deep Clean Whitening\n\nThis has Bicarbonate of soda in it but does not have the strong taste that Arm and Hammer has.\n\nIt is very mildly abrasive, enough that it will remove staining but not damage the enamel on your teeth.\n\nBeware of using Pearl Drops, Eucryl or other so called tooth polishes. They are too abrasive to be used regularly and make the staining worse eventually by roughening the enamel so the stain sticks all the more.\n\nIf it's any recommendation, I use this myself too!\n\np.s. Crest Whitening Strips are NOT available in the UK, the Americans have not been reading the questions again...........

I think the effects of the whitening toothpastes are very, very marginal.\n\nBetter to focus on the main purposes of toothpaste.\n\nIn that respect I personally think Colgate Total is the best of all.  If I cannot find it, I will use Aquafresh, the striped one.\n\nI believe you can get a variety of Colgate Total called Colgate Total plus Whitening.  So there you are.\n\nDon't get too carried away with whitening, many people have severely injured their gums that way.\n\nBetter to see a dentist for more help in that area.  There are veneers for older people, but rather expensive.

I use Chrest Whitestrips and I absolutely love them!  Ok, but besides what I like, here's what I can tell you.  Most whitening toothpastes don't work andt he ones that do work...they take too long to make a difference.  Cosmetic whitening can be expensive.  Chrest whitestips WORK!  After using them about two times, you can tell a difference.  They are kind of expensive...about $25-$35 depending on which kind you get, but they both work great.  If money is your concern, try the less expensive one.  It's kind of weird at first to feel something stuck to your teeth for 30 minutes.  And I suggest that when you take them off you have the toothbrush with toothpaste ready.  Don't lick your teeth after you take the strips off cuz the gel is NASTY!  Plus...some people, not all, experience soft teeth after using it.  It just feels like your teeth are soft and weak.  But I never experienced that.  I still use them, not everyday though.  Just when I'm going out and I want my teeth to look good.  Because let me tell you...yellow teeth is a BIG turn off.  Good luck with whatever you choose.

I don't know what the top five are but the one i like the best is the newer Crest kind without achohol. It cleans great without the awful burning. I believe that's the one dentists are recommending right now.

i have used the crest whitestrips and they worked great... what i did tho is i went on ebay and found some that were like 22% strength compared to like 10% or so for the ones you can buy in the store.. i was able to get a like 25 day or so treatment for the price of a ten day one at the store.. i just used half of the treatment(10-12 days) and then saved the others for a second treatment later on down the road.

The crest whitening products work great. I use Crest whitening toothpaste and it's made a difference.

I've tried everything you can think of. None of them really work too well on my teeth but I smoke alot. My husbands aunt use to work at dentist office, and she said none of the teeth whitener are really good for your gums. Especially the ones in the little bottle where you paint it on your teeth. I used that gel stuff one time, you put the gel in the tooth tray put it in your mouth and it has a blue light that helps brighten your teeth. It didn't help me at all. It only turned gums white for a few hours and made my teeth and gums really irritated. I find that the toothpaste that come in the tube with orange top, (i don't remember if it's made by crest or colgate) and it has extreme clean on it and it's orange flavored. That works awesome on my teeth. Also I just tried another tooth paste made by colgate. It comes in a purple tube. It's called colgate Luminous paradise fresh. That works pretty good too. It has an awesome flavor. It makes you wanna brush your teeth 6 times a day instead of 3. It strengthens and whitens your tooth enamel with fluoride mineral formulation. But the best one that works for me (you have to remember everybodys body is different and acts differently to certain products) is that extreme orange flavored toothpaste.

yes, i got the stuff from the dentist cuz it works faster than the over the counter stuff.   DO it!   u will not regret it.... a whiter smile makes u so much more confident.

i agree with the dentist here. you may as well save yourself the trouble of using them in the first place. i myself have used the tray system with my dentist and it wasnt all that costly. probably the most cost effective way to get your teeth whitened with very good results. and yes no whitening technique works on any restorations (crowns, bridges, fillings etc). best thing to do is whiten then replace your restorations to match the color of your teeth after whitening. good luck

Listerine Whitening Rinse is great.  You will see an immediate difference.  I can't recommend this stuff enough.  Also it is not as expensive as Crest Whitening Strips.

Recent studies indicate the results are not superior to take-home bleach trays. Cost of Zoom vs take home is double or more.\n\nIf you need instant results, the cost difference might be worth it to you. If you can wear the trays each night for a week or so, you'll get the same results.\n\nIf you decide on Zoom, be prepared for sensitivity after treatment from mild to severe. Ask the provider for a prescription fluoride to use ahead of time if your teeth tend to be sensitive - this will help a great deal.\n\nEdited to add: I've just been reading on a dental discussion board about Zoom 2. The overall opinion - less sensitivity, but results are disappointing. Several dentists were trying to sell theirs. Almost all agreed - the light does NOTHING to accelerate the bleaching process, it's there to give patients something to distract them. If interested, I can post the actual studies which prove tis.

There was an infomercial for Didi-7 a few years ago.  That stuff worked FANTASTIC.  Other than that, try anything (other than chlorine bleach) that whitens gently.  Toothpaste works, depending on the brand.\n\nMy step-daughters had to have perfect white sneakers for cheerleading every game, but they did cheers on a cinder track & would ruin them every time.

I would say an in home bleaching kit because the you get quick results and it tends to be longer lasting, but Crest White Strips work really great and are less expensive. Which ever method you choose, they will both give you those pearly whites you want!

I brush twice a day morning and night, with "Arm and Hammer" peroxide and baking soda. Peroxide whitens your teeth. If you really want white teeth talk to your dentist and ask them about teeth whitening, they whiten your teeth with lasers. I wouldn't use the whitening strip, they eat away the enamal on your teeth. I would get it done professionally.
