Customer Reviews of Crest Whitestrips Dental Whitening System, 56 Strips
Customer Review: Work really well, hard to put on.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had NASTY yellow teeth through highschool, which only worsened when I drank coffee. Don't get me wrong- I tried using toothpastes every morning and night that promised whitening effects, but they honestly didn't work. So I tried Crest WhiteStrips.
Pros:
They worked SO well. EVERYONE commented on how good my smile was.
I didn't even use the whole pack at once. I was so inconsistent with it, but it worked so well anyway.
Long lasting effects. I've not used them for 2 years, and now I'm considering getting another pack.
Reasonably priced.
Whitened my teeth without making it obnoxiously white
Cons:
They made my teeth sensitive
Hard to put on
I didn't know what to do with the goo that was left over...so i spate it out. (tmi? sorry)
But overall, I'd recommend this product :)
Customer Review: Good product, good results for the money.

I'm 31 years old with fairly white teeth naturally, but I am a daily coffee/tea drinker. I've used whitening packages/trays purchased from my dentist twice, but I am honestly just as pleased with the results from the Crest Whitestrips for whitening my teeth when they begin to look a bit stained. I have very sensitive teeth/gums, so I rarely use the strips more than once a day and usually have to skip a day between applications. I also use a toothpaste (like Sensodyne) when I am whitening and this eliminates most discomfort. At this point, Whitestrips are used for "maintenance" and I have been working on the same box for at least a year! I whiten a few time every few months and this works for me. I'm sure there are many different degrees of staining/yellowness, but for mild discoloration from tea/coffee, I would definitely give these a try before an expensive trip to the dentist.
Customer Review: No Pain No Gain

I have found Crest Whitestrips of any version to work really well for me! When I got my braces off my teeth were discolored and i used Crest Whitestrips Classic to make them really white!! There was a little gum sensitivity but it wasn't TOO bad. However, now I am using Crest Whitestrips Premium and WOW by the second day it hurt my gums SO BADLY! I toughed it out and tried it the third day again, but this time i took a Q-tip and i put Vasaline carefully on JUST my gums. It made due for a protective coating and significantly reduced the pain while the Creststrips were on! However my gums are still so sore that i can't even brush my teeth...basically...my Vasaline trick works wonders BUT the Crest Whitestrips Premium are 2X stronger than the Crest Whitestrips Classic, so if your gums/teeth are sensitive I recommend getting the Classic because they really do work for me!Customer Review: Great price for a great product

I've always been skeptical about teeth whitening things that do not come from a dentist. After bad experiences with whitening tooth paste (i.e. they don't whiten) I decided to try the White Strips. I noticed my teeth getting whiter after only a week of use. My teeth were prone to some sensitivity, but it was not unbearable and I plowed forward with the product anyway.
For the people complaining about difficulty in putting the strips on, dry your teeth off before you put them on and then keep your mouth dry once they are in place. This will allow the gel to get directly on your teeth instead of gel -> saliva -> teeth. The strips will stay in place and will work more effectively if done this way.
Do not fall asleep with these things on, I did that one night and my teeth hurt, they throbbed, and I was sad.
Customer Review: Talk about problems
Summary: 3 Stars
After my braces were removed i noticed that my teeth were really disclolored. I decided to try the strips to see if they worked. After a few days, and some problems with the strips, i noticed my teeth started to look a little whiter. Then i noticed that my teeth started to ache, just like when i had braces on. I read the instruction which said that sensitivity was common and that it would go away, so i kept using the strips. However, after a few more days i couldn't stand the pain in my teeth, i couldnt eat or drink and i would wake up in the middle of the night in tears because my teeth hurt so bad. I quit using them and it took almost a week for me to be able to eat and drink normally again. After all the problems with the strips and the pain my teeth really are not significantly whiter, i think it was a waste of time.
