Customer Reviews of Crest Dental Whitening Formula 7 Day 28 eaCustomer Review: Product does what it claims, room for minor improvement Summary: 4 Stars
I had been thinking about getting these since they came out, and since my wife made a comment that my teeth were yellow, it was time to take action. My dentist wanted more than $300 to whiten my teeth... I asked him about less costly methods and he recommended the Crest Whitestrips. I went for the Premium as it was half the work with supposedly the same effect as the 14 day version and actually cheaper at the time being it was on sale where I bought it. I just finished the pack and am happy with the results. I'd recommend this product to people like myself who just can't bring them to blow $300 at the dentist but want whiter teeth. However if $300 is not a big deal to you, then have your dentist do it as you will avoid a week of tedious work, minor irritation, and hassle. I will try them again provided the effect lasts a while.

Whitening effect - was noticeable after the first few strips and towards the middle, didn't notice much more whitening at the end. Overall my teeth are pretty white now and I'm not so bashful about letting out a big smile. I gave this product 4 out of 5 because it did the job set out to do and made my teeth whiter. If the strips were better shaped as mentioned below, and tasted little better it would have gotten a 5. My bottoms still have slightly more color than my tops, but it may have been that way before too, dunno.
Irritation / sensitivity - Overall the strips weren't too bad, I had a minor burning sensation when I first put them and overall during the process was more sensitive to colds / hots. My dentist advised to muster up on the fluoride rinse before doing this to strengthen my gums. It's tempting to brush and maybe floss your teeth before using the strips, but keep in mind that your gums will be much more irritated from the gel if you do so. The instructions recommended not to use them directly after brushing your teeth, which unfortunately is the best time to use them, do your own trial and error here, but note that they will burn minor cuts and abrasions made by floss and heavy brushings.
Strip designs - Both strips should be a little wider, which is a shame because there's enough excess for them to be wider, the bottom strip is kind of a bad design in that it doesn't grip to well because it's too narrow, more so than the top strip. Its very important that the strips cover the canine teeth well because these are your darkest teeth. I went to the Whitestrips.com website and read in the QA section that it advised to throw away the excess border and not to use it on your teeth. I was curious so I emailed the asking them why, I never got a reply, but like other reviewers here I thought about salvaging the excess and using it. I found that if you get the goop from the excess on your fingers, they whiten just like from the strip, which would imply they contain the peroxide agent, so take it for what you will...
Stick-age - The top strip sticks pretty good providing you get it on good the first time and don't move it much. The bottom strip is more difficult to keep in place for a few reasons, it's not as wide, so it doesn't grip as well, most of you saliva secretion happens from the bottom of your mouth, which makes it more slippery, plus your tongue inevitably gets in the way and helps loosen things. Yes you can talk with these things in your mouth, but talking may move them too, so I recommend using these when you have some solitude time or at times when your mouth is at rest.
Taste is not very good. Not bad enough to make you gag or spit them out, but certainly not a good taste, kind of medicine and bleach taste. Once done, if you're anything like me you'll want to wipe
