crest LED accelerator

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have been meaning to whiten my teeth but beyond applying a bit of my go-to maintenance whitening gel (a STEAL at about $5) I hadn’t whitened my teeth in too long. I snagged a box of the Crest 3DWhitestrips Professional White with LED Accelerator Light At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit because I’ve had great results with the Crest Whitestrips and have been wanting to try the LED light.

My Thoughts

I have sensitive teeth, and whenever I use a whitening product I brush my teeth with this sensitive toothpaste. The first time I used the Whitestrips for 1 hour followed immediately by 5 minutes with the LED light my teeth hurt the following day. I waited two days before trying again and then continued to whiten with the Whitestrips for 1 hour followed by 5 minutes with the LED light with no issues and no more pain. My teeth were noticeably white after one use, and significantly whiter still after only 3 uses (one-week total time). I think this kit is pricy, but it works.
