Coffee. Curry. Red wine. If there’s a food or drink out there that can make your teeth look like you’ve been eating fistfuls of dirt, you can bet it’s a regular part of my routine. In fact, I’d venture that the vast majority of the things I eat and drink would make most cosmetic dentists faint. That’s why I’ve been a major user of various whitening products for years. If there’s a toothpaste, mouthwash, or gritty, unpleasant charcoal- or baking-soda-based product I can grind into my chompers at night, you can bet I’ve used it. And while I’ve wanted to love the whitening strips I’ve tried in the past, the searing pain they cause me (and the sensitivity to cold for days afterward) has kept them from becoming a regular part of my oral care routine. That’s why when I heard about Lumineux’s teeth whitening strips, which promise to remove stains in just 30 minutes without causing sensitivity, I jumped at the chance to try them.
