Greetings,

I recently saw an infomercial for a teeth whitening product and was wondering if anyone has experience using this product?

May want you ask your dentist first, although he'll probably get paid to refer you to something else :p

I got the laser whitening last week,... and told my dentist about that product. He laughed really hard. I asked if they work. He said probably not, but that would not stop the company from getting a lot of money from ppl who want to try them.

He likes Crest WhiteStrips for ppl who dont want to get the laser whitening.

Mine said practically the same thing 2 weeks ago. He also agrees with the Crest strips, too.

Did he tell you that everyone would get different results from Crest WhiteStrips, depending on what color they are now? That is what mine said. He also said that ppl could not expect results as if they got the laser whitening process, but for cheap money, it does a decent job.

I read through the site and they don't even list the active ingredients in the thing. I'd save your cash for something with more research to back it up. If you want the best results talk to your dentist (if you don't have one get one!). Whitestrips work pretty well, especially the professional strength ones your dentist can get you, but the ones at the supermarket will get decent results on some people. However remember it takes a few boxes to get optimal results.

how much does laser whiteneing usually cost? Is it similar in cost to anal bleaching?

EDIT: just checked, around $500 for a birtesmile procedure

my dentist is about 350 in schaumburg, IL

Just checked the britesmile website, it says that if you book online, its 75 dollars off.

I've done the laser thing too, but my dentist did recommend
the Crest white strips like KarenMarie said.

They work great and are affordable.
