I have what I assume are calcium deposits on my teeth that get very very white when I use white strips. They fade after a day or so, but are very noticeable. Does anyone have this problem and used the supersmile system? Same problem?

As a 3rd year user I continue to buy super smile with the whitening accelorator gel. 1. It leaves the cleanest mouth feel compared to any other toothpaste I've ever tried- it's very hard to describe, but it's why I'll never go back to another brand. 2. because it doesn't leave those problematic white blotches, nor do I have a gradation effect that I received using white strips or other whitening agents. (By gradation I mean yellowing at the gum line to white on the bite line.) ** I want to note that I brush with a pearl size amount of the whitening accelerator and a pearl of the paste. sensitivity. I brush with a sonicare diamond clean electric brush. And I use a water pic once every week or two depending. I believe those products also help to give more uniform whiteing results. Once in 3 years I had a sensitive reaction and I discontinued the accelorator for a few days and then continued within a week with no further sensitivity.

Hi These strips were gummy. They basically melted and adhered to my teeth. It was a chore to remove them. The crest strips work well for me. They adhere but are removable These sheer white strips appear to work for others Just not me

I doubt if you will need to use them for more than five days. Your teeth will lighten up quickly using the sheer white whitening strips.

Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects are the stronger white strips & more expensive. You place them on your teeth for 7 days (2 hours each time). The Crest Luxe White Strips are less expensive and not quite as effective. You place them on your teeth for 20 days (30 minutes each time). I have used both and in my opinion the "Intensive" strips make my teeth whiter in a shorter amount of time.

My dental hygienist told me to buy a product called ACT, an anticavity fluoride rinse (they sell a generic, too) and to swish with it before applying the white strips. It works.

No the active ingredients in Ultra White have been used for over 18 years on over 200,000 patients without a single case of enamel damage. It can however cause sensitivity which stops after use. If you truly have thin enamel from acid erosion or birth defect the gel will probably not show much results as it whitens enamel well but not the inner dentin of the tooth.

Sheer White has never caused any kind of a break out with me. This is the best product by far that I have tried. However, I did have a problem recently with the strips being all dried out and unusable even though the expiration date was next year and I had kept them in the fridge. Amazon fully refunded my money and I'm a happy camper.

Hi, I have crowns too but mine are more in the back of my mouth with the exception of one which is on the side so I really can't answer as to whether they will whiten your crowns that are in the front of your mouth. I have not had one bit of sensitivity to them. All I can say about the crowns is for you to try them or contact Rembrant and ask what their success rate is using their strips on crowns for whitening and if you decide to do this, will you post your results for me to see? Thanks!

If the tooth you are talking about is a front tooth it might not match up after you use the whitener. I have a small "white " filling between my front teeth and you can see a little difference in the color. But in my case it is not a concern, if however it were an entire front tooth, I would be careful and maybe use a 15 or 22% gel.

My strips are very dry as well and do not seem to be working. I have used whitestrips beforeand they were not dry like these at all. I feel something is definitely wrong with these strips.

Hi, I'm older and I believe it helped to some degree. I think my teeth are very difficult. It probably worked as well as anything I have yet tried. However, I don't see my teeth ever being pearly, pearly white.

Minerals from tap water cause the white film. Just use distilled water instead.

it didn't seem to damage anything other than i didn't see any whiter teeth :-(, the ad said that you can see the difference within 5 minutes. i just went back to the crest strips since i know they work. the reason i got this power swab because i wanted to see the differece within the 5 minutes and no sensitivity.

Says it whitens but I don't see it, but I have very white teeth. It excels at getting between teeth.

I did not use on calcium deposits. Just on stains. Pumice stone may be better.

From what I read it doesn't absorb the calcium salts that tooth enamel is made of so it shouldn't. I only use it for 5 days at a time . It does a fabulous job of whitening. Not unnatural chiclet whitening but a noticeable difference.

I can tell you that I have a white filling on the front of one of my teeth and it always changes shades of white as my teeth turn after bleaching.I also have a implant that does not change color after bleaching. Hope this info helps.
