Crest 3D White Strip Review

My Rating: 

3 1/2 out of 5

My Review:

I received a Level 5 Box of Crest 3D White Strips from Influenster to try and review.  I have to say I was VERY excited to get the chance to do this review.  I drink at least a cup of coffee a day an then sometimes tea through out the day.  My teeth are not white and I don't expect them to ever be white but I would love to have them not as yellow!  

First let me say that it was easy to apply with very easy to understand instructions.  It gives you different options for different levels of white.  I decided to do the 2 hour whiting as appose to the 30 minute whiting.  I had an excessive amount of saliva in the beginning but after about 30 minute all was great and I was wearing the strips as I picked up my childrens toys.  After two hours, I removed my strips and I didn't notice any change in coloring right away.  After a few hours, my teeth looked a little less yellow, however they also hurt A LOT.  I have a few teeth that have little crack.  Nothing more then wear my dentist tells me, as I've just gone to the dentist last week.  I didn't think anything about it when I decided to try these strips and there are no warnings with the strips about possible pain from use of the strips.  About 5 hours after I removed the strips my teeth started to throb and really hurt! It feels like the nerve endings were on fire.  I unfortunately will not be able to use the other 6 days worth of strips because I can't stand the pain.  I however believe if I could use the strips for the full 7 days that my teeth would indeed be much more whiter then they are now as they have already started looking less yellow in just one treatment.  

I have mixed feelings overall about these strips.  I believe they would work wonders if I had perfect teeth.  I however don't have perfect teeth and there were no warnings in the paperwork with the strips about how it can cause pain.  So I give it a 3 1/2 out of 5.
