</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>First of all, these are pretty good. They will whiten your teeth slightly in my experiance, but for WHITE teeth you might consider buying two boxes (or the renewal package). But that's not why I'm writing this- I'm writing this to discuss the pain factor. Now, I had read that there may be pain involved, but I was NOT prepared for what came! They did NOT hurt WHILE the strips were on my teeth, but for several hours afterward. They were killer. They were worse than any toothache I've had, and believe me, I've had my fair share of exposed nerves! Maybe I just have weak teeth, but the pain definitely outweighed the benefits of this product! I may buy again, but it's not likely!

Not everyone will hurt though, but be prepared....I think about a 3rd feel sensitivity, and not everyone feels pain that intensely. It definitely whitened my teeth quite a bit. MUCH better than whitening toothpastes.

White teeth, but PAIN!, October 23, 2006

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>My husband and I tried this product last night. Other than the goopiness and the fact that it makes your mouth fill with saliva so it's hard to keep the strips on, I wasn't having too much of a problem. That was until, about 15 minutes in, I experienced an extreme, sharp pain in one of my teeth. I have never had a toothache or a root canal but I imagine that's what it feels like. I had to rip the things off. My husband, I'll note, had no problems.
Tonight I decided maybe it was an anomaly and tried it again. I got a little on my lip during application and it burned for a few minutes, so I was worried. But I was fine for about 10 minutes. Then, unfortunately the same thing happened. Extreme pain in the same spot. After taking the strips off it subsided, but there is still a dull ache. I did notice my teeth actually look whiter after only 2 half applications, but I won't be using Crest Whitestrips again. Maybe it's just me and my tooth, but I would be careful if you have sensitive teeth.
