I'm guessing you're referring to dentist whitening and not crest whitening. In both cases, no. But at least crest has a money-back guarantee.

For a truly informed opinion, you'll have to ask Michael Jackson.

As far as I know, MJ actually had a medical condition that caused him to start losing pigmentation before he went all out.

Damn! You have caught me red handed making crude and inaccurate sport of the tragic Mr. Jackson's plight.

Therefore, I take this opportunity to apologize to the entire Jackson clan, to the delicate Mr. Michael himself, and, of course, to whichever frightened and confused 8 year old he is currently playing stroke the pickle with.

It's strictly cosmetic. It really bares no health value as far as I know, so it's really just a personal decision.

I will say that if you have ugly yellow teeth, you might want to do it simply because a nice set of teeth is what co-workers and bosses notice on most people. Sad to say it, but being ugly hurts chances of promotions and such. Yeah, it's not SUPPOSED to happen, but we all know it does.

It depends on how much it's worth to you. If you have the money to spare, then yes, it's worth it. Like it or not, discolored teeth are unattractive. And it's proven that, on average, the more attractive you are, the more successful you'll be in your professional, and private lives.

Face it, we live in a shallow world. You can either play the game, or give up and become a dirty hippie protester. :p

You can take very good care of your teeth, and still have them be discolored.

I think it's just one of his many lies. Just like he claimed to have only 1 cosmetic surgery. The guy has spent tons of money trying to look white (hair straightening, cleft chin, lip reduction, nose reduction) What a Godsend for him to have a disease that turns his skin white. I don't buy his excuse of a medical condition for one second. Have you noticed that Cher the singer also has turned white over the years? Look at her complexion now and look at what her complexion looked like 20 yrs ago. Another waco that has opted to bleach her skin to look white.

I used whitestrips a couple of years ago, they worked perfectly for me, too.

any senstivity?



very slight to none at all... thats why they recommend using no more than 2 boxes consecutively... 1 box, though, is enough for a very perceptible change in tone that other ppl will notice
