Does corn yellow teeth sound familiar? Well, that was the colour of my teeth before I found Crest Whitestrips.
After the birth of my youngest son, my teeth deteriorated in colour. At first, I convinced myself whitening toothpaste was the answer. I quickly moved from one tooth whitening toothpaste to the next but my teeth remained embarrassingly corn yellow!
Dental hygiene was not my problem as I had always brushed my teeth regularly and visited my dentist for checkups throughout the year. On one such visit, I asked him how much it would cost me to whiten my teeth and he said around £500! I almost had a heart attack!
I mean, how long was I supposed to talk with showing as little teeth as possible? Or laugh with my hand over my mouth? Was this meant to be for the rest of my life? I thought not!
So I quickly phoned around and spoke to other dentists, even going as far as researching cosmectic tooth whitening on the internet. Suffice to say I was disappointed to note my dentist was spot on with his recession proof figure. Thankfully, it was on one of my panic driven searches that I came across Crest
Whitestrips.
My initial thought was Crest Whitestrips sounds too good to be true. I thought it could not possibly offer me dentist style whitening, especially as my stubborn teeth seemed resilient to whitening toothpaste.
Why did I choose Crest Whitestrips? Well, after much trawling on the net, comparing Crest White Strips to other teeth whitening products, Crest White Strips came up trumps.
As a mother on a budget, I was initially concerned about the price of £24.99 (www.discounthealthproducts.co.uk ) but compared to £500, the price was miniscule. I was also pleased to note Crest Whitestrips is part of a range of products:
– Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal – - Molds and adheres to teeth - Removes cleanly - Start seeing whiter teeth after 3 days - Use for 14 days
– Crest Whitestrips Pro Effects – - Start seeing results after 3 days - Use for 10 days.
– Crest Whitestrips Premium – - Whitens teeth twice 2X faster than Crest Whitestrips Classic - Use for 7 days
– Crest Whitestrips Classic – - Gives you visibly whiter teeth - Use for 14 days
– Crest Whitestrips Daily Whitening Multicare – - Whiten 5 minutes, once a day - Ideal for teeth sensitive to whitening
– Crest Whitestrips Daily Whitening + Tartar Protection – - Whiten 5 minutes, once a day - Protects against tartar and stains - Ideal for teeth sensitive to whitening
-- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -- Crest Whitestrips returns your teeth back to their natural colour. Please note: if corn yellow is your natural teeth colour do not expect to have a Simon Cowell smile. However, if like me age, kids, or cigarettes have discoloured your teeth, then this product is right up your street.
The thin easy to wear strips release a controlled amount of peroxide to whiten your teeth. However, it does not work on crowns, veneers, fillings or dentures - just natural teeth.
-- PRICE -- You cannot buy Crest Whitestrips or any of the range of Crest Whitestrips products in the UK. You can only buy items from the range online. Reputable sites such as Ebay and Amazon stock some, if not, all of the range. However, I found www.discounthealthproducts.co.uk is just as good, but cheaper.
-- POSTAGE AND PACKAGING -- As you can only purchase the range of products from Crest Whitestrips online, make sure you factor in the cost of postage and packaging in your choice of supplier, as postage and packaging costs vary from one supplier to the next. What might seem like a bargain on one website might turn out to be quite costly once postage and packaging is added onto the total price. In addition, before you complete your order, check the best before date. Always ensure it has at least 12 months if not longer before expiring, unless of course you are happy to purchase something with a shorter expiry date. If this is the case, negotiate a lower price with the supplier.
-- DID MY CORN COLOURED TEETH TURN WHITE? –
In a word, YES! I am one of those highly sceptical people, wary of quick fixes. I knew I was taking a big gamble. But guess what, it paid off. After the second day, I began to notice a visible difference in the colour of my teeth. I studied my teeth in the bathroom mirror and could not believe how white they had become. For the first time in years, I was able to smile and laugh without using my hand to cover my mouth.
-- CONCLUSION – I will continue to use Crest Whitestrips once a year and would strongly recommend Crest White Strips to anyone. This is a product that actually does what it is meant to do - whiten teeth!
-- Good Points -- - whitens NATURAL teeth - you get quick results from 2 to 3 days after first use in my experience - enamel safe - long lasting results (depending on how you care for your teeth after you complete the whitening treatment) - large product range means you can select a product from the range that best suits your needs
-- Bad Points -- - can lead to teeth sensitivity - although I did not experience this - strips are fiddly and have the habit of swimming about in the mouth if they are not firmly in place (Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal is the solution for those who cannot deal with fiddly strips ) - does not whiten veneers, crowns, fillings or dentures - the strips have to stay in your mouth for 30 minutes - a bit pricey but the results cushion the blow of the expense
