Yep agreed...y'all should feel lucky to have all your real teeth. I dont have my real front teeth either. I was tripped roller skating when I was like 9 yrs old and have under gone numerous procedures to get my teeth lookin the way they do. I've gone through a root canal in both teeth, then re-done, braces, gum surgery, and now permanant porcelin crowns put on. Now granted since I got them so young in life, I'm going to have to get them redone at least once more in my life. My dentist who did my crowns (the dentist I still go to) said that when I get my done again, that I should get my teeth bleached (even though they aren't that stained now) so that when making the crowns it'll be easier to match color. So as of now, I'm not even capable of using any sort of OTC whiteners...which sucks, cuz you know how most people feel about white teeth....
Oh and as for the effects of teeth becoming sensitive or something like that, there is a lil thing called Sensodine..which helps with combating sensitive teeth. Sure some people will experience extreme effects with the strips or any other OTC whitener, but I think those instances are rare, and those are the people that should already know not the use them cuz they know they have "weaker" teeth.
