What is Your Favorite Tooth Whitener?

I just started using the Aquafresh whitening trys and so far they are working really well. I tried them because I can't seem to use the Crest Whitestrips as long as they tell you to on the box. The Aquafresh ones you only have to use for 7 days, once a day. If you do use whiteners what is your favorite brand and why? If you use something in between whitening to keep them looking white what is the product or products that work best for you? An example of this would be a whitening toothpaste or mouthwash etc. Thank you!!

I use colgate and aquafresh. I drink a lot of tea and coffee so I really need tooth Whiteners. I have not tried other brands so I don't know if other work better. For now I use these two brands and they seem to work for me. I would think all brands are almost the same. Take care smellsyummy.

The only ones I have tried are the Crest Whitestrips. I stopped using them after only a few days, though, because they made my teeth really sensitive. I'd like to get veniers (however you spell it!) eventually, but they're quite expensive!

Ya know, the whitestrips made my teeth very sensitive too but these trays haven't caused me any problems at all. In fact, it's my gums that are a little red/slightly irritated but my teeth are fine. I hear you, veneers can cost an arm and a leg, and from what I've seen they grind your teeth down to little nubs and then put them on. I don't think I could let anyone do that to my teeth!LOL!

I use Crest whitening toothpaste and I also use crest whitestrips. I think they really work well. Hey it beats going to the dentist and having them professionally done. And I dont have dental insurance right now. So every little bit helps.

OMGoodness, I know! My dentist charges $250 for the top teeth and then another $200 for the bottom!! I love that there are so many choices out there now for at home whitening:)

Listerine has a new mouthwash that is also a teeth whitener. Listerine Whitening. I use it before I brush my teeth. Then I brush with Colgate Whitening toothpaste. The Listerine seems to work, as my teeth are whiter than before I used it. PEACE
