Teeth Whitening Review | Teeth Whitening Review of 3 Top Products

I have never gotten my teeth whitened by the dentist. But I do have friends who HAVE gotten it done by "the white coats".

From what I can see, the results are great. They also seem to last fairly long (as long as your aren't a COMPLETE coffee junkie :-)

There is one huge reason which kept me from getting my teeth whitened by my dentist...

It costs $500-$1000! That is just way too much for the "Penny Pincher Queen" to spend on some simple teeth whitening! So, rather than taking out a second mortgage, I decided to look for cheaper methods that provided the same professional result.

Bottom Line: No Thanks. I could probably feed a small army for that much money!

The second teeth whitening review is for Crest Whitestrips.

Crest Whitestrips are probably the most well known over the counter teeth whitening product. This is a great example of, "The most popular isn't always the best choice". In my experience, they are far from the best.

What you do is apply the special whitening strips for a total of 60 minutes each day (two 30 minute intervals). I followed the instructions very closely when it came to applying the strips (and - really - anything else it said)

I was experiencing shooting pains at the roots of my teeth on only the second day. The box does warn of increased tooth "sensitivity" but this was anything BUT "sensitive". It hurt :-(

I tried to fight through the pain, but I had to stop using Crest Whitestrips on the third day.

The cost of Crest Whitestrips can be anywhere between $25-$50. The shooting pains were just too high of a price to pay for me though.

Bottom Line: This isn't a bad choice if you can bear through those pesky shooting pains.

This was my favorite teeth whitening method by far. It gave me a professional look in just over one week.

But here is why I REALLY love Teeth Whiten Tips...

They give you 3 free six-day packages as a free trial. Of course, you do need to pay $6.95 for the shipping.

My teeth were pearly white after 8 days with this system (one-and-a-half of the free systems).

What I've done is set the last one-and-a-half free trial packages aside for another time when I feel I need to re-whiten my teeth.

Bottom Line: I knew I could get whiter teeth without paying $500 or putting up with excruciating pain. And this is how I did it :-)

You can get the free trial on the Teeth Whiten Tips website.

Quick Tip: If you want to keep your teeth whiter for longer, try cutting down on the tea and coffee for a bit. Break the addiction!
