White strips to whiten your teeth

Do you use them?

by Anonymousreply 23September 1, 2025 10:09 PM

I'm comfortable with the natural alabaster tone of my teeth, which my normal hygiene keeps stain-free. Also I don't want to fuck with the enamel.

You mean ecru.

I'm in Europe and they're illegal in the EU because they contain high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. There are website where you can order them though

Arm and Hammer Peroxicare toothpaste has worked well for me. My teeth are white without that fake bleached look.

I like white teeth but it's a turnoff when they look like fluorescent lights.

I got lots of compliment using the purple toothpaste.

Has anyone used the recent brush on bleaching/whitener? Looks simple and effective.

Even slightly yellowed teeth are a turn off. Using Crest Whitening strips for 30 minutes for 3 days every few months will keep yours nice n bright without being over the top and without harm.

When she’s obese, but has perfect, straight fluorescent teeth…

I did the crest white strips when I was a teenager and never have I experienced so much pain/sensitivity with my teeth. It hurt worse than chipping a tooth.

I'm reminded of this old MADtv sketch. 😂

Just a little bit of Comet can do wonders

We don't have those, but I get my teeth professionally cleaned/polished by the dentist at every check up and take good care of them myself (including flossing twice daily). I also mostly drink water so I don't really get much in the way of staining.

I've seen too many whitening treatments look unnatural to the point the person could be wearing dentures, which is a little offputting.

Are strips better than whitening pens? Or the kits that include LED mouthpiece?

I can't stand yellow teeth. Instant attraction killer.

R7 I started using it a week ago. Time will tell.

Most of us here use Polident.

My Mom used Pearl Drops. I'm not sure if they still make it, but she swore by it.

I use them a couple of times a year. I keep a spit cup handy when using them, I don't want to swallow the cleaning agents.

I use a Waterpik religiously -- after every meal -- and floss at least three times a day. I tried white strips about six months ago, and they did nothing at all. My hygienist told me to try professional teeth whitening, anyway, since my dentist's office was having a special on it.
