Crest Whitestrips have changed the way that people whiten their teeth. Before the introduction of this product, most of us depended on the old fashioned approaches to getting a whiter, brighter smile. Some of these tactics were less than perfect and others cost a lot of money.

I used to pay quite a bit of cash to get my teeth professionally whitened. Now I just use Crest Whitestrips once a year instead. Some may think that the kit is a little pricy but I have no idea where you can get better results for less money. In fact, my teeth whitening trips to the dentist cost well over a hundred bucks.

The Crest Whitestrips are a real money-saver as far as I’m concerned and they are very easy to use. I love choosing a time of year that is particularly difficult to maintain a healthy diet. There is a little trick to using Crest Whitestrips that can actually help you stick to a healthy diet no matter what holiday celebration you face.

Not only do you get a gleaming smile, but you also keep your figure in check. I use  Crest Whitestrips twice a day for two weeks, as instructed. I choose to use the teeth whitening product during times that I am tempted to indulge in a fatty or sugary treat. Instead of going for a donut in the afternoon, I put on the Crest Whitestrips.

Since you have to wait thirty minutes for the whitening strips to work completely, I find that the craving for the snack has vanished. By the time I brush, rinse and admire my smile, I no longer want to snack on junk food.

The second dose of Crest Whitestrips is applied later in the evening when I usually want to grab a bag of chips or some ice cream. The urge to splurge gradually goes away and since I don’t want to disturb the teeth whitening process, I have full control over my snack attacks, even the pesky evening ones.

So once a year, you can commit yourself to two weeks of teeth whitening that has some side benefits that few of us consider. This is a great product for keeping a fresh, clean and sparkling smile but it also works to curb cravings. Who would have guessed? The last thing you want to do is eat a bunch of sugar after using Crest Whitestrips.
