I have been very blessed to have pretty darn excellent teeth. I never needed braces, and my teeth have always seemed pretty white. I am very self conscious about my smile, and want it to look the best that it can. While I don’t smoke, I do drink red wine, and coffee, and have heard that it can stain my teeth. I’ve never used whitening treatments, either professional or at home, but have always been curious, so when Walmart gave me the chance to try out the new Crest 3D White Whitestrips, I had to jump at the chance.
So the concept is simple. Each packet comes with one upper and one lower strip. Lightly stretch and then press the Crest 3D Whitestrips directly on your teeth. Let them sit on your teeth for an hour. You can’t eat while you whiten, but you can drink water.
I tried the strips just after lunch while we were sitting around and watching tv for a bit. My girls kept trying to talk to me, and were laughing at me because I *sounded funny*. Yeah… The strips block your teeth, so you do sound funny, but it’s a lot easier than keeping a whitening tray in your mouth! After the hour, I peeled off the Crest 3D Whitestrips, and went on with my day. It did leave a little gel like substance on my teeth, but it went away fairly quickly.
I was extremely surprised with the results. After just a few days, my teeth really looked a lot whiter. Be forewarned, some tooth sensitivity can occur, and is normal. It went away after a couple of hours for me, after each treatment.
The Crest 3D White Whitestrips Luxe Dental Whitening Kit is available at your local Walmart stores, and at Walmart.com. Each package comes with 14 applications at a great price! Two weeks worth of applications are only $59.97! Compare that to an average of $650 for in office dental treatments! Talk about money savings!
If you want to check out a very affordable and very effective whitening method, this is definitely something to try! I have to say, I was very impressed.
