Product Information

You want your strips to fully cover your teeth and not go up over your gums -- that can cause gum sensitivity. Additionally, their fit should be snug. While you go about your day, waiting for it to be time to take the strips off, they should not slip and slide around your mouth. Coverage If you’re worried about your enamel, know that the Crest strips contain the same whitening ingredients that dentists use. Plus, they have advanced seal technology with a no-slip grip to keep the strips in place so you can go about your day as you get those teeth pearly white once more.

Brush-on gels contain ingredients designed to lighten teeth. Many whitening products can become uncomfortable for teeth over time. For maximum results with whitening strips, you’ll need to use the entire box, so gauge your sensitivity level before buying. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, look for products that will give you the least amount of sensitivity.
