Common Questions & Answers about Tooth Whitening

"Recently I have noticed that one of my front two upper teeth is beginning to wear away - or is chipping. On those two front teeth I have some staines that I have tried to have removed by a laser about 6 years ago, but failed. I'm wondering if those staines have anything to do with my tooth "wearing away" and if the other one might begin to do so, or if it is being caused by something else. I plan on visiting my dentist soon but wondered if you might happen to know if the staines are part of the cause. Thanks."

Here are some additional comments offered up from our subscribers. You might find some of the input helpful for when you start looking for your next product.

"I have used Crest Whitestrips with good results.  I have very white teeth to begin with and thought they wouldn't make too much of a difference, but I was surprised how much brighter my teeth looked.  I had trouble keeping the bottom strip on my teeth though.  It seemed to slide off too easily."

"I used the Crest Whitestrips.  I did notice a change in the color of my teeth but had a bad reaction to the product.  My teeth became so sensitive that I was unable to eat anything.  This lasted for about a week.  When further talking to my dentist he advised me not to try any of those kits because a certain part of the population (me) has a bad reaction to them."
