Re: Teeth whitening
Crest Whitestrips
They have all different options and price points.
I usually don't go for the most expensive-like the $60 ones.
I usually go for a mid level
They work great

Re: Teeth whitening
And they tend to have coupons in the Sunday paper Proctor and Gamble coupon flyer every so often.
Sometimes it's even $7 off etc

Costco and BJs sells them for less than other places.

Re: Teeth whitening
I've used Crest Whitestrips every year for a long time, they are amazing. I didn't feel like spending the $40 this time so I ordered Gleam activated charcoal. I was very hesitant about it but it was only $10 so I figured I'd give it a shot. It's amazing, works just as good as the whitestrips. I've used it about 6 times total over the last two weeks and now that I have achieved the whiteness I want, I'll probably just use once a week or so to maintain, and the jar should last a long time.

Do you still get sensitivity with this like with whitestrips/peroxide whitening?

Not for me. I can't use the strips bec of sensitivity and charcoal,doesn't bother me. I've used it about 4x now. No issues.

I just went out and bought a new soft toothbrush, just for the charcoal. That is what instructions call for.

Re: Teeth whitening
I think it works as good if not better than the white strips. At first I was brushing with it for two minutes and then a few of my teeth starting hurting, not sensitive, more like pain, so then I just did a quick brush over all of the teeth but just let it sit on my teeth for a minute or two and now I have no pain.

Re: Teeth whitening
So funny because I am watching an old Press Your Luck episode on Buzzer right now(swinging Friday night!  ) and a commercial just came on for Miracle Teeth Whitener....and it looks like an activated charcoal powder with some other ingredients. Normally I don't pay attention to these ads because the stuff is always a scam and never works but since this thread I took notice!
