Customer Reviews of Crest Whitestrips Pro Effects,10-Day Dental Whitening Formula System, 40 Strips (Packaging May Vary)
Customer Review: Great value!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm on the 3rd day of using this product and love it! I've already noticed I have a whiter smile and I haven't had any sensitivity at all. The product comes with 20 packs of upper and lower strips- enough for 2 x per day for 10 days. I'm planning on using 10 of the packs and saving the other 10 packs to use in 9 months because I've already seen enough improvement. I don't have a celebrity-white smile or anything, but it's enough that my yellow stains from coffee and tea are pretty much gone and my teeth actually look uniform and nice. I've only used 5 packs so far and have seen great results, so I can't wait! My biggest advice would be to make sure to brush well and wipe off your teeth with a dry paper towel before applying the strips. The strips tend to move from the moisture otherwise, especially since your mouth will salivate.Customer Review: Painful sensitivity
Summary: 3 Stars
I've decided to try these again after using them several years ago. They did whiten my teeth, but I also remembered they caused my teeth to be super sensitive. My teeth do not have a tendency of being sensitive- unless I try to bite into ice cream; I cannot do that without feeling it. Before I put even the first day's strips on my teeth, I made sure to purchase some Sensodyne toothpaste, and I am so glad that I did. I followed the directions and put the strips on (without brushing first) and within the 30 minutes of applying them my teeth started getting painfully sensitive. I had such acute pain in my teeth a couple of times within those 30 minutes. Several hours later my teeth still feel very sensitive, and it is without any exposure to heat/cold. These will whiten your teeth, but you will definitely feel it.Customer Review: Pain, pain, and more pain
Summary: 1 Stars
I waited for these to go on sale, and when they finally did, I took my $7 off coupon and raced to the store. I had used the original version of these a few years ago, and had remembered getting decent results, so I thought this version would be even better.
Was it? Well I can't say because I was only able to use them twice before the pain got to be so intense that I could not even drink cold water, or eat anything warm. It was awful. The pain does not occur just around the time you're wearing the strip. It occurs all day long. And not to mention that you end up swallowing much of the gel because the strips make you salivate more than normal. So not only are they painful, but they're also a pain to use. I do NOT recommend these. Try the original version (I don't remember having pain from those).
Customer Review: Effective, but slightly inconvenient
Summary: 4 Stars
I am currently nearing the end of my second use of Crest Whitetrips. They work as advertised. If you follow the directions and use the product twice daily for ten days, your teeth get whiter.
Drawbacks:
-Difficult to apply and keep in place for 30 minutes: If you try to dry you teeth before applying, they are easier to place and stay longer before sliding around in your mouth.
-May cause tooth and gum sensitivity: Never a serious issue for me, but my teeth were sensitve to cold during use. This quickly goes away after ending treatment.
While I have read reviews of people with serious pain from the product, those seem to be the exception. Overall, this is a great product and offers you an inexpensive method for near professional quality whitening.
Customer Review: Eh....so-so
Summary: 3 Stars
I wasn't overly impressed with this product. They are slippery, compared to the newer ones, these slip all over the place. Anyway, I'm not a smoker or a big coffee drinker, my teeth aren't yellow, I just wanted a little boost, I really didn't notice anything much though. I used them just as the directions stated and for the full amount of time. I just didn't see the vivid white teeth others raved about. They're white but not that fake snow white, which is good I guess, but a little something would have been nice, just enhancement was all I needed. I didn't notice any burning or stinging, nothing intense anyway, I'm surprised by that since my teeth are very sensitive. Anyway, I guess it's worth a shot, it may or may not work the way you wish it to. For the price, it's OK though.
