Do those really work? Some people claim that while they whiten the face of the teeth, the cracks (where teeth meet side by side) stay yellow.

they definitely work. i doubt those people are applying theirs correctly.

i blind people with my teeth :)

Take a bite out of a strawberry, then rub it all over your teeth.

Then enjoy the whole strawberry. :D

But really, I heard someone say that strawberries are natural anti-oxiders or whatever.

That's not true. . .it'd just stain your teeth with red. It only works if you crush the pulp and mixed it with baking powder.

Having very white teeth is unhealthy, anyway, but Crest white strips works fine if you have the time to do it.

I've used Crest White Strips... and I've also tried the Aquafresh ones. The Aquafresh ones were cheaper when they came out around here so I thought I'd try them. They're a bit nice because the form of them is nice... I have smaller teeth, so the Crest ones would move around a lot.

If you want more whiten power I'd deffinately suggest the White Strips. They've come out with different kinds since I've used them, but when I used them they deffinately worked, better than the Aquafresh ones. Maybe they don't even slip around anymore shrug.gif They're a bit more price wise, but for me they were worth it.

Also, watch what you're eating and drinking. If you drink coffee or sodas they can tend to stain your teeth. Try drinking them from a straw.

Just curious to know why very white teeth is unhealthy. :D If you're willing to explain.

I've never used Crest White Strips, but bleaching definitely works wonders :)

It's a little expensive, but I've done it and it's an easy and pain free. The reason that it's expensive is because they have to make what looks like retainers to fit your teeth, so you can wear them at night. Also, you can't bleach your teeth that frequently because it will wear out the enamel.

Because white teeth are abnormal. Most have off-white, and so "very white" is not healthy for your teeth or gums. Like the above post, the layer of enamel can be scraped easily by brushing so when it's formed again, it easily gets stained by coffee or soft drinks. This is normal.

You can get your teeth bleached, but they can be irritant to the gums and forces your teeth to be extremely sensitive for a few days. I wouldn't recommend it, but people do it, anyway. The best way is to just cut back on soda, coffee, tea, and shit like this.

My dentist said that Whitestrips, and products like it, do not really "whiten" your teeth. They're just shiny strips that will reflect against the light to give your teeth a shinier effect. It's not all that magical, but I wish it were. So I don't use them.

everybody i know with super white teeth have used crest white strips. i have a ton at home, which i can't use because i have braces -___-

Do it the old fashion way! Floss once a day, brush twice a day, rinse twice a day :)

But then if you don't want to use the strips. My sister used them and her teeth is like white like heck. But then, it did irritate her gum. Don't know if it'll irritate yours.
