Whether you're finally ready to try whitening strips in pursuit of a sparkling smile, or they're already a staple in your self-care routine, now's the time to stock up on those Crest 3D Whitestrips. During the Amazon Prime Day sale today October 8th and 9th, you can snag one of these at-home kits at a fraction of the price.
There's certainly no shortage of teeth whitening products to choose from these days, but Crest 3D Whitestrips remain the number one dentist-recommended option. New York City orthodontist Dr. Janet Stoess-Allen, DMD, previously told Business Insider that she often suggests her patients try Crest Whitestrips.
Crest makes many different versions of Whitestrips — and finding the best teeth whitening kit for you will depend on your needs, goals, and budget. The good news: there's a Crest Whitestrips deal for everyone during the Prime Day sale.
Before you buy, you'd be totally justified in wondering: are Crest Whitestrips safe to use? Well, according to Dr. Stoess-Allen, there's been no evidence that any of its ingredients harm tooth enamel. Hydrogen peroxide is generally to blame for increased sensitivity while using whitening strips, which Dr. Stoess-Allen advises choosing products with 10% or less of this ingredient. And if you're prone to sensitivity, it's always best to start with a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips fit the bill here, which is why they topped our list of the best teeth whitening kits.
Each year, we expect 20-50% off the best oral care products from Crest during Prime Day, and this year is no different. Amazon is already a great place to buy dental hygiene essentials like toothpaste and floss, but buying them in bulk during Prime Day is a great way to save yourself time and money.

To get the fullest benefits from using a Crest tooth-whitening kit, take a look at what's in your diet. Consider abstaining from foods and liquids that cause yellow teeth — there are the obvious ones like coffee and tomato sauce, but remember: anything with strong pigments or acidic content can stain your teeth. Fruit juice, dark-colored sodas, curry, balsamic vinegar, and gummy candies are a few common offenders.
