Are white strips really bad for your teeth?

Crest White Strips bad for teeth?? True or False?

  • I want my teeth to become a little whiter but I heard that whitening methods and crest white strips are bad for teeth because they strip your teeth of enamel? Anyways I was wondering if they really are that bad and if their is any healthy/natural way to make my teeth whiter without ruining them? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    White strips are overall the fake way to whitin your teeth. I used many different kinds of them since they first came out because I wanted a whiter smile. My teeth were white before I started using them, but I wanted it whiter. Anyways.....the strips leave a coat of film on your teeth, and that film breaks away enamel on your teeth making them softer. What I have noticed with my teeth after using them, they are whiter but they are weaker. I would just regularly go and get cleanings and polishings by your dentist every 6months or so and just skip the crest strips. In all reality, the whitening strips were a little too easy of a way to get your teeth white, and anything that easy has flaws! Hope this steered you in the right direction :)

Yes, any teeth whitener is bad for your teeth because it ruins your enamel. Baking soda with peroxide worked for me, leave it in your mouth for ten minutes. But honestly I use Crest 3D White toothpaste which whitened my teeth and for five times a week I use Plus White 5 Minute Bleach Whitening Gel by rubbing it on my teeth, putting on a retainer to set it and keep it in while I'm in the shower. My teeth got REALLY white and I told my dentist about it and he didn't find anything wrong with my teeth. I've been using it for about six months now and my teeth aren't sensitive or anything. It's not the natural or healthy way, but it works and I personally haven't had issues with it so you should consider it!

You can use crest 3D white. Crest 3D white includes toothbrushes, tootpastes, whitestrips product and oral health to rinse. That's make your teeth clean, health and whiter.

Don't put lemon on your teeth the acid is really bad for your enamel. Just make a paste of baking soda and peroxide, brush your teeth daily with it.

True they are bad! Try getting a freshly squeezed lemon and some baking soda, mix, and rub on teeth with a q-tip! Do at-least 3 times a week!(:
