My teeth are super sensitive (I can’t even drink cold water without cringing!) So I was really excited to try the Sensitive Whitening toothpaste, which aims to whiten teeth whilst also reducing sensitivity. I began using the toothpaste alone, because I wanted to see how it would perform without the aid of the whitening strips, and I was really impressed! As someone who has never smoked or drank coffee, my teeth aren't badly stained anyway, but I found that this toothpaste started to make my teeth appear brighter and less yellow after just a few days of use (morning and night). The taste is super minty but not unpleasant, it didn't hurt my gums at all, which is a problem I've had with other whitening toothpastes (including Oral B).
I don't think that this has reduced my sensitivity unfortunately, but as a whitening toothpaste it's definitely one of the best I've tried.
After about a week of using the toothpaste alone I introduced the whitening strips. It says on the packet to use twice a day for 7 days, and to leave them on for half an hour, but as I work full-time I decided to use them over 2 weeks instead. In the past I would use Crests 3D White Strips frequently, but I found that they were actually making my teeth feel soft and super sensitive, so I was a little anxious to try these, however I'm happy to say that didn't experience any negative side effects at all!
The main problem I had with these strips is the lack of stickiness, the mint flavoured "glue" kept sliding around on my lower teeth, so I was constantly aware that they might slip off, unlike the Crest equivalents which I would actually struggle to remove. I'm also not a big fan of the sticky film that they leave on your teeth, but luckily its easily removed by gently brushing with a toothbrush. However, I honestly cant fault the results! After a couple of uses my teeth were gleaming, not in a Simon Cowell false way, they just looked really bright and healthy! I did find that my front teeth whitened more quickly than the others (you can kind of see that in the photo below) so now I am using just the toothpaste and focusing it on the duller teeth to ensure they are all the same shade.
Overall I would highly recommend Janina Ultra White products if you are someone who has been considering paying for cosmetic whitening. The Toothpaste costs £11.50 for a 75ml tube, and the strips are £20 for 14, which is really affordable considering I was prepared to pay my local surgery £100 for whitening, which probably would have been far more damaging to my teeth!
Have you been tempted to try at home whitening?
