Dissolving White Strips

[Twigz]

I've been smoking since I was 17, and each year my teeth get worse, bad enuff I only brush my teeth once or twice a day, im tired of having my teeth look like butter. So, I finally got the balls to get these white strip things, fucking cost me $30.00 says it takes about a week for it to take affect. Getting the top layer on was easy, the bottom layer was a bitch, and I already wasted one strip. Does any1 ever use these, or have any experience on them? do they work? give me sum input.

a good cleaning every 6months should work the same, benefits FTW

Be really careful what you drink when doing this type of whitening treatment!!!

I have a good friend that is a dentist and he warned me about whitening products. Pretty much what is happening is that those strips have an active ingredient that opens the pores in your teach to be able to "bleach" them a whiter color.

However when these pores are open, anything you drink can cause discoloration (as most beverages have dyes in them). Meaning, if you drink a lot of mt dew...your teach have a strong potential of turning yellow during the treatment.

When I went through the process that my denist gave me (I was being a guinea pig for him), I was told that I needed to quit pepsi for the entire week. As the brown syrup would stain my teeth brown (due to the pores on my teeth being opened by the whitening agent) and I'd have to start the entire process over again...again quitting pepsi for a week.

Needless today, I was a grumpy bitch that week. I can't go without my pepsi.

i aint go to the dentist n ask for white strips, i just decided to buy em, i aint got no cavities or tooth pains.

it says no drinking or eating for 15 mins, its been over an hour, everything has dissolved, so my poors are probally closed by now.

ill test it out.

i used them a few years ago...they actually worked really good if you use them like the instructions say...the only thing is that they made my teeth quite sensitive to cold stuff for awhile...
