I have teeth sensitive to whitening. Can using Whitestrips make it worse?
If you already have teeth sensitive to whitening, but still want to use Whitestrips, Gentle Routine Whitestrips offer less whitening-related sensitivity.
Some people may temporarily experience a small amount of tooth sensitivity when using whitening products, which is completely normal, but know that Whitestrips are absolutely enamel safe.
How can I be sure which Whitestrips are right for me?
Whitestrips offer seven treatments each tailored to different needs. The difference in each treatment is in the level of whitening and duration of wear time. On the front of most packs, you’ll find a whitening meter that clearly defines the level of results you can expect with use of a full pack. For visible results that require only 30-minutes daily, there are three great options: Crest 3D White Vivid, Advanced Vivid and Professional Effects.
Once I get a whiter smile, what is the best way to protect my new look?
Once you've achieved the whitening results you want, one way to maintain your whiter smile and protect against everyday stain buildup is using Crest 3D White 5 Minute Touch-Ups. Crest 3D White 5 Minute Touch-Ups are a quick, simple way to maintain your whiter smile.
Another way to maintain your whiter smile is to use the collection of Crest 3D White products, which include toothbrushes, toothpastes and rinses. When used daily, the collection of Crest 3D White products will keep your smile whiter and brighter, guaranteed.
Do you use Whitestrips?
I do and have been for years. I find that they help me maintain a whiter smile in a way that I find most convenient.
In your opinion, are Crest 3D White Whitestrips really the best whitening option out there?
A lot of my patients ask advice on which brand to use for a whiter, brighter smile and I always tell them Crest 3D White.

Answer:
What's the difference between Whitestrips and in-office, professional treatments?
There are 2 main differences between most in-office whitening treatments and Crest Whitestrips: 1) how the whitening ingredient is applied and 2) cost.
Both whitening methods use the same whitening ingredient: hydrogen peroxide. However, Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips use a 10% concentration, while most in-office procedures use up to a 35% concentration. Lights and lasers are also used during in-office procedures to help show results more quickly than at-home procedures.
However, because of this immediacy in results, in-office treatments cost more than Whitestrips. So, if speed is a priority for you, but cost is an issue, then try Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips. They deliver professional-level results in the convenience of your home.
If the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is lower than in-office procedures, then do Whitestrips really work?
Absolutely. In fact, Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects and Professional Effects Whitestrips have enough whitening ingredient concentration to provide professional-level results.
How are whitening treatments different than whitening toothpastes? Do I really have to bother with two forms of whitening?
Tooth stains can fall in two general categories, extrinsic stains and intrinsic stains. Extrinsic stains are stains at the tooth's surface. Intrinsic stains are stains beneath the tooth's surface. Although most whitening toothpastes are a great way to remove stains on a daily basis, most only work on the surface to provide an extrinsic benefit to your smile.
Whitestrips, on the other hand, work both on surface stains as well as beneath the surface of the enamel. Going beyond where most whitening toothpastes leave off, Whitestrips whiten beneath the enamel surface for an overall whiter smile. Because of the extrinsic and intrinsic value of Whitestrips, you'll see results that are noticeable.
What if I want faster whitening? Is there anything that I can use to start seeing results immediately?
For whiter results in less time, try Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects. Offering whiter results as effective as a professional treatment, Intensive Professional Effects will give your smile Crest's highest level of whitening in just 1 week — perfect for an upcoming occasion.

Customer Reviews
For general use, I have found that the Whitestrips are the best "over the counter" solution on the market. Far better than the gimmicky whitening toothpaste or mouthwash (that have never whitened anything as far as I could tell) or even the boil-and-use trays.
The benefits are simple - your teeth get whitened (two to four shades seems average).
The disadvantages are a bit more complex.
I do not have sensitive teeth, however after using the Whitestrips my teeth did hurt in a sharp, achy sort of manner (this was not while eating). This sensation would occur around an hour or so after using the strips on teeth which had zero cavities during my last checkup (usually the front incisors - the "thinnest" of teeth). I did not experience the same sensation with the peroxide from the dentist. It was not painful enough to stop using the strips, but enough to make you uncomfortable.
The strips also "slide" around and you get that really awesome "goo mouth" after leaving the strips on for the required half hour. Sometimes it was hard to tell whether or not the strips were actually on the parts of the teeth you wanted whitened, or if they had "crawled up" to some random location while being worn.
All-in-all, the Whitestrips do what they promise - they whiten your teeth. However the general delivery method makes for a mediocre product. Also, just in case some of you still harbor any misconceptions, this needs to be said:
THERE ARE NO OVER THE COUNTER WHITENING AGENTS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR TEETH PERFECTLY WHITE!
Unless we're talking paint... then maybe.
The fact is that most of the "Hollywood" teeth you see now days are not whitened, they're veneers. Perfectly shaped, blindingly blue-white, and tightly packed with zero gaps. Those are not natural, and your teeth will never look like that by using Whitestrips alone.
As long as you understand that and just want your natural dull'ish teeth to be slightly whiter, then you have realistic goals in mind for this product.
Nevertheless, every time I go to my dentist for my biannual cleaning and checkup, the hygienist tells me my teeth are stained and I should cut back on my coffee and tea. Fortunately for me, I received through the Amazon Vine Program a box of Crest 3D White Whitestrips Vivid. Because it was manufactured by Crest, I had little fear or worry about trying the product.
On 23 February 2010, I received the box of whitestrips. Inside are $9.50 worth of coupons for the 3D White Family of Crest products that include whitestrips, toothpaste, toothbrush and rinse. I carefully read the instructions on how to apply the strips, the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and, most importantly, the always scary warnings about avoiding eye and skin contact. I scanned and posted all of the above documents.
While using the product, I never experienced a bad taste in my mouth and my gums were never sore or aching. There was a very slight odor of peroxide which is one of the main ingredients used to bleach the teeth. A couple of times I didn't thoroughly wash my hands after applying the strips and the peroxide caused small, white spots that burned slightly on my fingers. This is due to the fact that peroxide is a disinfectant used to kill germs. The white, burning spots quickly vanished after I washed my hands. I was able to talk with the strips in my mouth but I could not drink water or sing.
The strips themselves are a little difficult to apply evenly over the teeth. (I scanned and posted a pouch containing a whitestrip.) I tried to get as much of their surface on the front and back as possible without getting too much on the gums. The consumer must realize that these strips are designed to only whiten the front of the teeth that are displayed when he/she smiles. The molars were not affected.
After only five days of using the strips, my teeth were noticeably whiter. Even a majority of the stain was gone from a crooked tooth in the center of my lower jaw. I was pleasantly surprised. At the end of ten days, on March 4th, my teeth appeared much whiter and brighter.
The only side effect I have experienced since using the Crest 3D White Whitestrips is some mild sensitivity. My teeth tingle when I drink cold or hot liquids. However, as the days pass, that seems to be dissipating.
I recommend using this product for whitening teeth prior to a very important social event where photographs will be taken such as a senior prom, wedding, class reunion, etc. I will definitely be using this product again. Maybe I'll use it before my next dental checkup in order to keep the hygienist from nagging me about drinking too much coffee and tea.

What I like: the "3D" texture of the gel allows it to better fit in the gaps between teeth resulting in a more uniform whitening. Also, for whatever reason the coloring is more uniform up and down over the surface of the teeth; when I did it long ago there was a distinct banding effect, not with these. And despite being at least twice as quick as the original, it doesn't appear to be any harsher chemically.
What I don't like: the strips are hard to keep in place and slide all over the place if you have to speak; and gives speaking a bit of a lisp. It's hard to get the strips out of their individual containers; the pouches will tear but not open and if you reach in side you are likely to crumple a strip.
Still, I'm glad to be able to brighten my smile, and it seems a reasonable price to pay.
