Anyone tried Crest Whitestrips?

Anyone tried Crest Whitestrips?  Do they work?  Are they worth the money?  What works better?

too expensive for what they are..

the slips slide off and are hard to keep in tact to really get the products worth

go to your dentist and have them do a whitening clean, they'll use a safe n mild bleaching substance..then continue with your daily brushing and flossing and use a whitening toothpaste..no coffee or cigz...bada bing bada boom...

amanfang..my good man..you may lock and close this thread my superior knowledge of teeth whitening has done it justice..

Doesn't the dentist bleach stuff cost a lot though??  I'm looking for something cheap.  I like coffee...   :'(

I have tried some of that stuff (a long time ago), maybe even that very thing (a couple of years ago) and it felt like it was devouring my teeth away  :o .  Maybe it actually is !  Anyway, I am not such a fan myself.  Try a whitening toothpaste, eh ?

Well, I went ahead and bought them anyway.  I'm going to try them.  I hope they work.

I don't know if it's a great idea to use it every day, but hydrogen peroxide works wonders.  I use it for a few days every once and a while.  Other than that, I find Pearl Drops toothpaste actually has more whitening power than any other I've tried.   Oh, try baking soda, too, or was it baking powder?  Dunno, think it's soda though.  The stuff in the little carboard boxes--whichever it is.
