Crest Whitening Challenge

CREST WHITESTRIPS

I noticed about the beginning of the year that my teeth are looking very yellow. lol. So last month I bought the Classic Crest Whitestrips, just to see if it would make a difference.... I was good for three days but then I noticed my teeth becoming SUPER sensitive and I had to stop. Today I resumed my Crest Whitening Challenge--but I'll use more caution and space it out every other day to avoid sensitive teeth. This may alter how 'white' my teeth could get but I'll take it over being miserable every time I take a bite to eat something. Before I went out and bought the strips I made sure to take a candid photo of my yucky yellows (slash crooked chompers) in hopes of comparing them with my ultra whites in the near future. Okay, maybe they won't come near being ultra white--wishful thinking I guess.

~ Word to the Wise: It's probably not a good idea to eat something right before taking a picture!

Line said...: I used crest white strips for a little bit before my wedding because I wanted nice teeth for the pics. Lol, but like you, I stopped because it was making my teeth sensitive. I still have the unfinished box, though... I kept it because those dang things are so expensive.; May 31, 2008 at 7:58 PM
