Careful!
I got the Crest Whitestrips Premium (Dentist strength) from the USA as well and although they did whiten teeth, after a week of usage or so my teeth started to hurt, which can be a side effect. I had to stop using them so didn't egt teh full benefit and ended up giving them away
If you have an inclination towards sensitive teeth (I didn't) then I would suggest you avoid these!

The different types of Crest Whitestrips contain different amounts of hydrogen peroxide, ie some are stronger than other and claim faster results. Sensitivity can be an issue <wasn't at all when I tried Crest Whitestrips Premium> and this is from the Crest Whitestrips website:

"Sensitive teeth and gums

Some people may experience tooth sensitivity or gum irritation when using whitening products — this is temporary and not harmful.

If significant tooth sensitivity or gum discomfort develops, try using Crest Whitestrips Original or Crest Whitestrips Premium only once per day rather than two times per day or stop for 2-3 days then resume once per day usage. If problem persists, discontinue using Crest Whitestrips Original or Crest Whitestrips Premium.

Additional Information

Crest Whitestrips Original and Crest Whitestrips Premium contain peroxide, the same enamel-safe ingredient dentists use for tooth whitening. Extensive testing has shown the product to be safe when used as directed.

Crest Whitestrips Original and Crest Whitestrips Premium will only whiten natural teeth.

They will not whiten caps, crowns, veneers, fillings, or dentures.

Crest Whitestrips Original and Crest Whitestrips Premium should not harm most dental work.

Do not use with dental braces.

If you have dental work or staining from medication, ask your dentist to determine if whitening is appropriate."

Has anyone tried the new Braun Oral-b sonic brush? Prices seem to vary between 79 and 129 Frightening!! If the quality is as good as all other Braun products I might save up, my last Braun lasted over 20 years.

It's the price of Braun's replacement brush heads that frightens me :-/

Hi

I had my teeth whitened in a salon a few weeks ago. It was with a laser. My teeth were quite sore the evening of having it done. Next morning the pain was gone and I had slept soundly despite my sore teeth. My teeth are better than what they were but not really bright white which I wouldve liked.
