My thoughts on dental whitening strips

They work great, I have been using them for a few days, and they have lifted several stains right out of my teeth. I have lots of dental work as well, and still, my teeth are looking alot whiter. I think they are well worth the money, what is the opinion of my MercedesShop family?

I used some about a year ago and my teeth are still pretty white. They had gotten pretty gray prior, prolly from the coffee.

I prolly brush about five times on an average day.

I did the Crest White Strip thing last year and my teeth are still pretty white. The only weird thing was having to leave the things in my mouth for 30 min. It kinda made me froth at the mouth like a rabid dog...

I saw something about those on tv and they said they work pretty good, just don't use them more than once every six months.

So how do they work, and what happens to the whitened teeth 20 years from now?

Actually now that i think of it i used a system that i got from my dentist, with a plastic tooth guard that i squirted bleach in at night and slept with it for about a week.

...and he never could dance like he used to think he could.

One word, bleach.... The newest ones are fairly safe, just don't over do it. The practice actually began in the 17th century, not very safe back then.
