Teeth Whitening

Yes you can whiten your teeth without a ridiculous amount of sensitivity and pain. And very little time commitment. I stumbled upon this product at the recommendation of a friend. She raved about this! I went to buy it at work, but hesitated because it only cost about $7. Could something this affordable really work? If so why would the Crest Whitestrips costs $50 or more? But I figured, what a great way to try something out. If it doesn't work, I'm only out $7. 

I've actually tried a few different methods of teeth whitening. Before my wedding I used the Rembrandt 2 hour system. Didn't really work at all and caused a SERIOUS amount of sensitivity. After that my dentist made custom molds of my mouth and gave her the whitening gels they use to put in them. I now get free whitening as long as I'm a regular patient there. I love the molds, but I do not love the gel, because again, SERIOUS sensitivity. I bought a ZOOM whitening kit off of a Groupon. It didn't cause much pain, but also didn't really whiten all that much either. And who can sit there with molds and a light in your mouth for 30+ minutes? Are you kidding me? After that I gave the Crest Whitestrips a go. Loved them, they work really well. The downside? Cost, obviously. Why would I do this if I were getting free whitening from my dentist? Well I thought it wouldn't be as painful. Boy was I wrong. So I plunked down my hard earned $7 for this and never looked back.

 The tube is big, seriously it's almost as big as a tooth paste tube, much different than those dinky syringes of whitening I've been getting from the dentist. You can either apply it right to your teeth, buy the kit that has molds you can use. Or if you're like me and invested a fortune into a white smile, use the molds you already have. So I just paint this right into the molds I have, put them on my teeth for 5-10 minutes a day and away I go. I actually do this as I'm climbing into the shower. It's a perfect amount of time. I do it every day for a week or two, until I feel like I love the color, then back off until I need to do it again. I've been using it almost two weeks straight right now and haven't had a single day where my teeth have been sensitive. You also have the option to wear it longer if you have serious stains, according to the directions. It really works though! My teeth get noticeably whiter. I feel comfortable wearing red lipsticks again. :)
