Crest Health and Radiance

Crest has a great new product out called Crest Health and Radiance. The premise is that you use this system and it gives you stronger and whiter teeth.


The system comes with a Crest toothpaste that helps you build tooth enamel and 4 strips that you just use once a week. The strips whiten your teeth and work the way that regular whitening strips do. I used the system for a week and so far I've noticed an actual difference, which is great! My teeth really are brighter.

As a public service I have to tell you NOT to use the strips right after you've brushed your teeth - doing so will give you horrible tooth sensitivity that's really quite painful. I just ran into someone who had done that and she's been in quite a lot of pain, so take care and follow instructions!

Listerine Whitening Strips

Listerine Whitening Strips are new to the market, and I got my hands on a box.


These are different from other whitening strips because the whitening agent is on a material that dissolves after some time in your mouth. This means that at the end of use, there's nothing to throw away. The other benefit to these is that they actually do stick to your teeth.

I tried these for a week, and I have to say that I did notice that my teeth are whiter. Moreover, I found them so easy to use. I kept a bunch in my purse and put them on every now and then when I was in the car or going to ride the subway. Since they dissolved in my mouth, by the time I had reached my destination the strips were gone, I had whiter teeth, and I also had fresh breath.

I would definitely recommend these for their ease of use. I don't have particularly stained teeth but I do drink regular cups of coffee so it was nice that I could get a pick me up. Try them, they're on drugstore shelves everywhere.
