I smoke and drink coffee and soda, so my teeth aren't as white as they should be...
So, I go to Walmart to check out their teeth whitening section in the toothpaste isle. I've thought about it for years, but some of that stuff is so spendy that I was never able to afford it. But NOT this time. Equate (that's the generic Walmart brand) has teeth whitening strips for $16!! So, I thought, why not give them a try!
I've been using them for 3 days now and they work GREAT!! I can already see a HUGE difference in my teeth! I can't believe these work that well!
Have you ever tried any? Did they work well for you? Please share your stories! ~Have a great day!~

I have so many problems with my teeth and have had a lot of work done. I always wonder if those whitening strips would affect the porcelain or other materials they use in the dental work. I smoke, drink coffee, and soda as well. I always have used Pearl Drops toothpaste, and let me tell you, it works great too. It is a little more expensive then regular toothpaste, but very worth it. It is the only "whitening" toothpaste I've known to truly work for me.

No Steph I have not as you say they are to expensive and we do not have a walmart here so we would not have that brand here
I know Asda is part of walmart but do not sell that brand
I keep looking out for it to be on offer so far no luck
I am glad though that they work for you as normally the Shops own Brands don't work that well

Iv'e never heard of teeth whitening strips. If you say they work, I'll look out for them, there's nothing like white teeth. Mine are a little old and yellow.

I have a friend who had her teeth professionally whitened and since she did it she was told by her dentist when she is at home to use a straw to drink coffee and soda. She smokes too but using the straw really helps to keep her teeth white because the coffee and soda isn't hitting her teeth when she drinks it. She is so pleased with the results that she has a very large supply of straws at home.

I love whitening my teeth. I usually do it every 6 months. I have never tried the Walmart brand, I usually am dropping about $25 for the strips. I am going to try the walmart brand next time. I have also tried the one that you paint on your teeth for overnight. I don't like it as well.
I love the feeling of having a nice white, bright smile! People will start to comment on your smile, watch and see.
