I actually just finished using a box of Crest Whitestrips Premium, and let me tell you - they work! My teeth became noticably whiter. My gums, however, were a bit sensitive to them. They really hurt the first couple of days, but then they must have toughened up.

Despite the large amounts of coffee I drink, my dental hygenist says my teeth are quite white. And she's right. This is because I brush my teeth about six times a day, ha-ha. I also had a secret weapon in the battle against stains. Unfortunatly, Colgate has taken it off the market!

Dear Mr. Faithful:

Thank you for contacting the Colgate-Palmolive Web Site regarding Colgate
Actibrush Battery Powered Toothbrush. We appreciate you taking the time to
contact us with your comments.

Unfortunately the Colgate Actibrush and replace heads has been discontinued
and replaced with our new Colgate Motion Whitening Dual Head Battery
Powered Toothbrush.

This brush has a dual action head. Smaller head which acts as a microtip
to clean deep between teeth and around the gums while the larger head
sweeps away plaque and polishes tooth surfaces.

(. . .)

We trust this information is helpful to you and we thank you again for
contacting us.

I have no idea how Colgate can disappoint me in this way after I bought their toothbrush for years. I really loved it. And it made my teeth really white. It's awful losing something that works so well.

I have used bleaching trays with 22% carbomide peroxide (the stuff that whitens teeth) that I purchased on ebay for about $10.00 (U.S.). My dental hygienist and dentist said my teeth looked incredible. They do get very white and I do it a couple times a year. I put the trays in before I jump in the shower and in 30 minutes--voila! I am careful not to put too much gel in the trays as to not get it all over my gums. Generally I see a noticeable difference in 2 days. I have my friends on them as well--we order a whole bunch at a time to save on postage.

That would be my recommendation--surf ebay for teeth whitening, and you will get pages and pages of options--even Crest Whitestrips, etc. Make sure you check out feedback on the seller before you bid. I do the "BUY NOW" option, so I don't have to bid against anyone. It's fast and convenient, and it comes right to your door!

Happy shopping! :)
