Whitestrips

aukelly · April 2011

What is everyone using to whiten their teeth? I have 18 days and the 2 viles I got from the dentist did nothing. I'm going today to get more but I want to know what people have used that work.

Starfishbride5 · April 2011

I use white strips and I've always gotten good results. Theyre quick, cheap, convenient, and they work really well.

aukelly · April 2011

Any specific one?

tiffhiam · April 2011

I searched on the internet what worked best and everyone was saying mix

1 tsp baking soda

dash salt

and a few drops of vinegar

and brush with it for 2 minutes, then brush with your regular tooth paste. Tried it last night and I could see a big difference, I will be doing it for the rest of the week!

<div>Wow really? What is dash salt? Maybe I will try that first since Matt is not really having the whitestrips.</div>

I just use the Crest Advanced White Strips. I feel that this work best, and they dont make my teeth sensitive. One night I even fell asleep with them in and my teeth were fine the next day.

Unless it's something I haven't heard of or it's Mrs. Dash salt, I'm assuming it's a dash <em>of </em>salt. Like a pinch.

<div>I just bought these and I can't wait to try them! I did professional strength whitening once and it worked great. The second time my teeth were so sensitive I was in such excruciating pain I needed to stay home from work for two days until the pain went away! SO bad!</div><div>
</div><div>I like the vinegar/baking soda brush-- that sounds like a good option too!</div>

Wow that's great. I'll have to try it. I used the crest strips and my teeth got so sensitive I couldn't drink nothing cold or hot. Recently I changed toothpaste and I've noticed a huge improvement, in the sensitivity, so now I'm afraid to start using the strips again. But I'm def going to try this. Thanks.

akhunter1 · April 2011

I am going to Target this week to buy crest whitestrips...its on my list!

aukelly · April 2011

Well I guess I will go get some whitestrips today. I read the reviews for the 3d strips and most people said they didn't work. So I'll try the advanced ones.

Thanks ladies!

sld0618 · April 2011

I stopped using the "hippie toothpaste" (Tom's) and it's made a huge difference already, haha. I do the dentists stuff and I'm also going to do the instant whitening right before the wedding. They're doing a deal here where it's only 100 at one office.

Yes just a dash of salt. =)

erin10885 · April 2011

I got some from the dentist it was $100 for 10 trays and I've been using 1 a week plus the Crest White strips once a week and it's made a big difference!

<div>HAHA! I googled dash salt. There is a such a thing. :)</div>

risa1818 · April 2011

I use the Crest 3D White toothpaste and I think it definitely helps, but I need a little more...

I am going to try that baking soda concotion tonight!

sparklegirl84 · April 2011

(just had some crazy Knot error and my post went on the inland empire California board, woops) This is what it said:

I wanna try that baking soda recipe too, I have the crest 3d advanced ones, but I must have super sensitive teeth cuz even just after 30 minutes my teeth are in pain for a day or two, even cold air hurts. They don't bother FI as much though. I dread having to start using them again.

Kayla&Brian412 · April 2011

I'm sure you've already bought them, but I used one of the basic Crest ones, can't remember which one off the top of my head--maybe I've done a few of them and they worked great! I plan on picking a pack up in a week or two to start for my b-pic shoot--even though my teeth are pretty white, I just want to brighten them!

Good Luck..the professional grade stuff from my dentist killed my mouth, I couldn't use it!

fsujen18 · April 2011

I'm using a pre-rinse from Listerine. My teeth are sensitive, so I'm going to use this and then try the strips when it gets closer.
