Millions of tooth whitening kits have been sold across the world to consumers seeking to brighten their smiles.
Tooth whitening products can be applied using paint-on gels, strips, or mouthguards, either at the dentist’s office or at home. The whitening ingredient in these products is hydrogen peroxide. In general, the more hydrogen peroxide and the longer the treatment time, the greater the whitening power.
Are tooth whiteners with up to 6% hydrogen peroxide safe? Should they be freely available to consumers?
No. |

My Number One Pick:
Celebrity Sexy Teeth is the winner, too bad I didn't find it first. I first heard about this product when E! News recommended it in their Spring Style picks last year, and so far I must agree with E! that this is the best Teeth Whitener on the market. The difference with this Teeth Whitener is that you get both short-term and long-term whitening as it works with both the inner and outer enamel. Aside from the scientific reasoning, the results are absolutely fabulous,, and unlike other products, there was NO sensitivity! In addition to delivering a whitening effect that the others just can't compare to, it also happens to be quickest, cleanest, and least expensive method I've tried. I absolutely love it, it only takes a few seconds to get your teeth perly white, and there's no mess or pain. Using this product, I was able to move up 7 shades, and once my boyfriend saw me using it, he started using it and saw an improvement of 9 shades! |

Runner Up:
Britesmile was the first teeth whitening method I had ever tried. The old BriteSmile commercials really got me excited about teeth whitening. When I first tried Britesmile in 2003, I was pretty happy with the results as I saw an improvement of 7 shades, however I wasn't so happy with the $600 bill. There was no pain during the first 40 minutes, but the last 20 minute session was borderline intolerable as my teeth became super sensitive. I reluntantly tried Britesmile again in early 2006 when the price had dropped to $400, and saw an improvement of 6 shades this time. Britesmile definitely works, however, aside from the hefty price, you're also instructed not to eat any "colored" foods for the next 3-4 days (that means you can only eat cottage cheese and cauliflower for 96 hours! Uhh! ) |

GoSmile is another popular teeth whitening product. GoSmile is fairly effective, and like Celebrity Sexy Teeth, does not cause tooth sensitivity. However it only gets 3 stars as I only saw on improvement of 4 shades with GoSmile versus 7 shades from Celebrity Sexy Teeth. I do however love the way GoSmile is packaged, I just wish their product was a bit more effective. |

ZOOM Teeth Whitening gets 2 stars because it does work fairly well (I saw an improvement of 5 shades), but it's way too expensive at $1000-$1200, and it causes extreme tooth sensitivity. Two of my friends that tried ZOOM also complained about terrible tooth sensitivity for days after the treatment. |

Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus are Crest's fifth attempt at making a decent teeth whitening pAroduct. After using this product for 3 weeks, I did see an improvement of 2 shades. This falls under the "teeth whiteners that kinda work" category so it is only recommended as a back up when you run out of Celebrity Sexy Teeth or GoSmile. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because it's the only product you'll find in the drug store that will give you any results, just not much at 2 shades. |

Crest Whitestrips Supreme are one of Crest's earlier teeth whitening products that was heavily promoted on TV commercials. Unfortunately, this product simply does not work. ZERO shades of improvements after using this product for 2 weeks. Worse yet, it causes slight tooth sensitivity! No wonder Crest had to come out with severaAl new versions after releasing this ineffective product! Complete waste of money! |

Same as above, Crest Original Whitening Strips are a little less expensive than Crest Whitestrips Supreme, but again simply do not work! Still a waste of money. Not recommended, read above. |
