Experiences with Crest Whitestrips?

[aeromancy]

I've been hesitant to use them because of sensitivity and stuff but I bought some anyways and just tried my first strip. I have the Glamorous White strips, I think.

 

Anyways I left them on for a half hour and they didn't do anything. Probably because it's my first one, at least I'm hoping. It says to do it ever day but that just sounds really extreme? I don't want my teeth to get super sensitive.    

I mean, I can already kind of feel it though they don't hurt.

 

I don't know, what about you guys? I'm probably going to try something else tbh. I've heard good things about Carbamide and it's way cheaper

I just want to wear lipstick again OTL

I used them before and.....my teeth got sensitive After the 2nd/3rd of putting them on, I'd get these pain strikes in the sensitive parts of my teeth. It was kind of like a shooting pain where the nerve was. And even after taking them off, I'd have to wait an hour or two before the pain would stop.

 

And no, I'm not talking about this constant pain. I'm talking about like these sudden shooting pain that lasts 5 seconds, goes away, and then comes back in 30 minutes out of nowhere. You just never knew.

 

EDIT: I bought them and tried them again like 2 years ago and the same thing happened so I just stopped completely.

My teeth got rather sensitive after using several strips but it wasn't that bad. My pack had a bunch of 30 minute strips and a few 1 hr strips, they got the most sensitive after the 1 hour ones. But it wasn't too bad, just avoid overly hot or cold drinks. I only used a full box once, and even though there were some visible results directly after using them, after I discontinued using them (only supposed to use one pack 2x an year) they just went back to same ol' yellowish color.

 

I don't know about other people's experiences, but they didn't work very well on my teeth. My sister's teeth had better results, though, that lasted longer.

They didn't work for me, I used them for like 2 weeks plus, Very little change to my teeth.I bought sendodyne to deal with the sensitivity. Actually a lot of the home whitening kits that i've bought haven't worked.

If I wanted to try again i'd rather just go see a dentist/specialist

TBH. They didn't work at all for me. My teeth got sensitive too...not that much but they did. 

Maybe you can talk with your dentist

They do work. It takes time, and if your teeth are already pretty white, the difference won't be as astounding. I use them to upkeep the whiteness on mine. The first time I used them, the results were really good. But now that they're quite white, the results are minimal. So there's that to keep in mind.

 

The first time I used them (the one with 14 strips, once a day), I had to switch to every other day after the third time. My teeth were too sensitive. Nothing bad though. A year later I got almost the same kit (couldn't find the one I wanted) and did it every 2-3 days because of sensitivity. The first time I used the strips again, I had a shooting pain in one of my teeth. It was like a shock going up the nerve. Only happened once though and my teeth got used to them, though the sensitivity does still happen. My teeth were pretty sensitive (not as much though) for about 2-3 months after I finished up the kit. My teeth are back to normal now. The kit with the most strips, which is the most expensive one, works the best. The others don't do as much. These ones were the best imo if you can find them:
