I have slightly yellowish teeth. I do not have enough money to get my teeth whitened at my dentist’s office since my dental insurance does not pay anything for whitening treatment. Has anyone used Crest whitening strips? Do they work well? Are they a pain to use? I like to use something that will help whiten my teeth at an affordable cost. Any other suggestions would be good.

Reply: Whitening strips are a good option for slightly stained teeth. They are easy to use and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Crest whitening strips are a popular choice known to produce good results. However, it’s important to note that the effectiveness of the strips can depend on the severity of the staining and the individual’s teeth. It’s also essential to follow the instructions carefully and not overuse the strips, which can cause sensitivity or damage to the enamel. Also, maintaining good oral hygiene practices is essential in maintaining the whitening treatment results. Other options include whitening toothpaste or a teeth-whitening kit. It’s always a good idea to consult your dentist before starting any teeth whitening treatment to ensure it’s safe and suitable for your teeth.
