Teeth Whitening Strips

Okay - here's my handy tip of the day:

Teeth Whitening Made Easy! :D

I had a routine dentist appintment earlier this month (cleaning) and they suggested that I try out teeth whitening strips before the wedding next month. Okay - why not? Over the last 3 weeks, I used two different teeth whitening products: Crest White Strips and Oral-B Rembrandt Whitening Strips. For the record, my dentist and her staff insisted that it was perfectly safe and fine to whiten your teeth (using strips) more than once within consecutive weeks.

I used the Crest Strips first. It was my first experience with whitening strips, so I didn't have anything to compare it to. You have to apply their strips twice a day for 30 minutes at a time. I found that it was a tiny bit of a hassle to do it twice a day, and that the strips were thin, and moved around in my mouth easily.

Next up was the Oral B Strips. I had actually bought a set from my dentist for Dick to use first, then bought another for myself. I was most impressed that you only had to apply them for 30 minutes once a day - that made a huge difference. I also much preferred the thickness and sturdyness of the Oral-B Rembrandt strips over the Crest Strips. They felt much more secure and it wasn't a bother at all to keep them in my mouth for more than 30 minutes.

And does it work?

Yes! I believe it does! Dick, Christopher and I all whitened our teeth last week, and we all saw good results. The house that whitens thier teeth together... My teeth are noticably whiter now. All-in-all, a great experience.

Watch for my dazzling smile to blind you the next time you see me :)
