What are Crest Whitestrips?

[JamesA]

Hi

I am interested in getting my teeth whitened and been doing a bit of research on teeth whitening products available. From what I have read, the best whitening systems seem to be the professional whitening systems.

However I have total phobia of dentistry and would not dare to go even close to a dental clinic to have any sort of dentistry done. Its a long story, but I have had this problem since my childhood and because of this problem, I have not seen a dentist in over 10 years.

My teeth are very stained and I decided to have teeth whitening to make them whiter. I came across crest whitestrips and apparently these can whiten teeth at home without the need to see a dentist. Do you provide Crest white strips and if so how much do they cost?

Thank you for your post.

Crest whitestrips are a type of self application whitening product. Please take into account that whitening should only be carried out under the supervision of an experienced dentist.

Your teeth may have cavities and plaque and stains on them that need to be dealt with first before any whitening is carried out. Whitening without due professional care and attention can lead to gum burning and tooth sensitivity and pain.

Your best option would be to see a dentist to have your teeth assessed and teeth whitening carried out under their prescription if your teeth are deemed clinically sound.
