Customer Reviews of Crest Whitestrips Daily Whitening and Tartar Protection, 38-Count Pouches
Customer Review: Bleaching Maintenance Product with Tartar Inhibitor
Summary: 3 Stars
Crest Whitestrips-Daily Multicare Formula and Tartar Protection is designed for "maintenance" bleaching, to maintain the whiteness of your teeth once the desired shade has been reached. Therefore, one should use a Crest Strip product such as the entry-level system Classic Whitestrips Classic Whitestrips-Crest Dental Whitening System, 56 Strips, or a stronger product like Crest Whitestrips Premium Crest Whitestrips Premium- 7- Day Dental Whitening Formula System, 28 Strips before the Daily Multicare Formula with Tarar Inhibitor is used.
This product is used for just 5 minutes a day to maintain the whiteness of (previously) bleached teeth. (All the other Crest Whitestrip products advise a 30-minute treatment, once or twice a day protocol). There are virtually no side-effects, such as sensitive teeth, or "burned" gums, as the contact time is just 5 minutes. This system has a 6% hydrogen peroxide gel, the same as Crest Classic Whitestrips. A tartar inhibitor is included for those who form tartar easily.
An alternative to this product of daily bleaching maintenance is to use one of the original systems again, such as Classic Whitestrips for 1-2 weeks to restore the bleach white color of the teeth.
Crest White Strips come in as many as 7 different formulations, which can be quite confusing to the consumer. Please remember the key difference in all these products is the strength of the hydrogen peroxide gel, and of course the price. The higher the dose of hydrogen peroxide, the faster the bleaching result, and the most costly as well. Here is a quick summary of the products:
1. Crest White Strips Classic. This is Crest's first bleaching product, introduced in 2001. It has a 6% hydrogen peroxide gel, and is applied twice a day for 30 minutes for 14-days of treatment. It is still a very popular product, and perhaps offers the lowest number of side-effects.
2. Crest White Strips Premium came out in 2004. It is a 10% hydrogen peroxide gel, applied twice a day for 30 minutes each session, for 7-days of treatment. The 10% hydrogen peroxide strength offers a quicker bleaching result, but perhaps with more tooth and gum sensitivity.
3. Crest Pro Effects came out in 2008. It is another 10% hydrogen peroxide gel, but offers a 10-day treatment protocol - again, twice a day for 30 minutes each time.
4. Crest Advanced Seal is the latest product (February, 2009), and it also has a 10% hydrogen peroxide, twice a day, 30-minutes a day, 10-day treatment. The main advantage to this system is that the strip is more adherent to the teeth, and the user can talk, exercise, drive, be active, even drink fluids, with the strip in place. The other systems advise the user to be stationary for the 30-minute treatment time.
5. Daily Whitening Multicare is another 6% hydrogen peroxide gel strip. It is used just 5-minutes/day. The only difference between this product and the featured product is the lack of a tartar inhibitor.
In using any of the Crest bleaching products, please follow the specified instructions that come with each product.
Crest White Strip products work for the vast majority of people. Younger people with yellow stains seem to respond better than older people or those with gray stains. If you have severely stained teeth, especially those with tetracycline (an antibiotic) stain, the strips may not work well for you.
If you are not satisfied with the results and still want whiter teeth, you can then see your dentist for a more concentrated in-office form of bleaching (called "power bleaching").
I gave this product a 3-star rating, as I don't think the consumer needs a tartar-inhibitor in the bleaching agent. Normal everyday brushing and flossing should keep tartar away.

What is Tartar
Calcium and phosphate bind to form crystals on the teeth, which eventually harden within plaque, forming tartar. Certain types of chemicals called pyrophosphates help to decrease tartar buildup by stopping the growth of crystals and helping prevent new crystals from forming.
How to protect against tartar.Have your teeth cleaned professionally every 6 months, or more frequently as recommended by your dentist or hygienist. Whiten with Crest Whitestrips Daily Whitening + Tartar Protection which contains pyrophosphate which adheres to your tooth and works to prevent formation and growth of tartar. Brush with a toothpaste that contains pyrophosphate, such as Crest® Tartar Protection, which adheres to the tooth surface and inhibits the formation or growth of calculus crystals. Brush with Crest® Pro-Health or Crest® Vivid White, which contain sodium hexametaphosphate, a pyrophosphate specially formulated to not only inhibit calculus, but also loosen and break the bonds of extrinsic stains for powerful whitening and a protective barrier to help prevent future stains.
