Congratulations, Celia! 🙂 You’re the winner for your comment, “I think I’m probably the only person in the world who loves those peanut butter taffy candies they give out on halloween. The Necco ones. They’re almost like church lady candies, but I cannot get enough. I mention this because I am addicted to all things sweet and I’m pretty sure my teeth are just gonna peace-out one of these days. I have really good dental hygiene but there’s a tiny voice in my head (maybe my mouth?) pleading for me to take it easy on the sugar- it is unfortunately drowned out by all the happy ‘nom nom’ noises.”
Me-OWCH! The only things more painful than catching a kitty claw in the corner of your cuticles or having to hear about Ryan and Eva’s “alleged” baby (until actual DNA evidence comes to light, I refuse to believe it’s true) are my sensitive teeth.
Sensitive teeth: I haz them. Having anything cold touch my back teeth (particularly the back teeth on my upper left) is about as much fun as losing a beloved brow pencil on vacation.
In other words, not fun at all.
How can Crest Sensi-Stop Strips help?
Because you know I’m not about to give up my Three Twins ice cream, I use a number of accoutrements to keep my cold-sensitive chompers in check, including a toothpaste and mouthwash made for sensitive teeth.
I also started using these new Sensi-Stop Strips by Crest…
They’re thin, flexible strips that you apply directly to your sensitive teeth for a targeted, fast-acting desensitizing treatment. All you do is peel one of the strips, and stick it on the outside of your sensitive teeth, right where the teeth meet your gums, for 10 minutes. (The strips are so thin that you almost can’t even feel them.)
Then, after removing the strip, wait 30 minutes before eating, drinking, rinsing or brushing.
Using a strip like this, versus a toothpaste or a mouthwash for sensitive teeth, keeps the key desensitizing ingredients in contact with the surface of the tooth longer, which builds a lasting barrier and relieves the symptoms of dental sensitivity for up to 30 days.
It also works almost instantly! None of that having to wait days for relief.
Using the strips, which work shockingly fast (I’m talking within 30 minutes, versus the toothpaste, which can take up to a week for me), my teeth don’t freak out as much when I have cold drinks and ice cream.
Good news for my ice cream habit! Bad news for my muffin top…

My teeth could use some pampering, this all looks lovely! =]
I have sensitive teeth, too! I remember being a kid and hating drinking from the water fountains at school.
I have so many mosquito bites I could use a hazmat suit to go out during the day!
I’d be interested to try those strips. I also have sensitive teeth and I’ve had a fluoride varnish put on at the dentist, but it made me sick! I wasn’t willing to try it again after that.
Wow what a cool giveaway! Those strips sound perfect for me. I was just complaining the other day how sensitive my teeth are lol. Hope I win!
I did in fact have braces, which gave me sensitive teeth in a whole different way than what the crest strips solve! Also, yes please to a candy bar!
Yes, I had braces back when shiny silver was the only option.
What they really need to make is desensitizing strips for sensitive people 😛
But solving the problem of sensitive teeth is great too. I need all that calcium and protein from the ice cream.
One day I WILL have perfect teeth.
I for one am stocked about the sensicare products. Consider me entered!
Thanks for the giveaway! I have sensi teeth, so this would rock!
That’s a cool giveaway. I tried to be good about flossing after I had scaling this year. Lol.
I really like your suggestions for a comment so…. I wore braces for 4 years. I floss a few times a week. 44.88 (how awesome would it be if I had done that in my head?). I’m walkin’ barefoot (gotta love Florida). Snickers are awesome…why wouldn’t you want one?
I had braces twice. Not fun. 🙁
I have sensitive teeth but never heard about this product,hopefully will win to try some for myself.
I had braces as a young teen. It was horrible.
And I’m wearing old orange flip flops from old navy and i badly need a pedicure 🙂
I had braces, and I have sensitive teeth!
I have extremely sensitive teeth, I should go to Walgreens.. 🙂
Square root of 2014= 44.9
😀
By the way I too have some sensitive teeth. Although I am not sure if these are cavities. I currently do not have dental insurance 🙁 …. Sigh
I got my braces off a month ago, it would be great to finally be able to pamper them after 3 1/2 years!
Awesome! I can actually bite cold things but my teeth are getting more sensitive I can tell as I get older. So, I would love to try these out and review.
I floss just about every night. I’ll be bad maybe once a month and skip it.
Our Sunday newspaper had an article about a program called Troops to Teachers, and my hubs was one of the teachers featured in it. How cool is that???!!!
I also have sensitive teeth. Hope I win!
I have the best tuna sandwich today. the lettuce was crisp, tomatoes were nice and cold and the mayo-to-tuna ratio was perfect.
I LOVE TABALABS
Ooh my teeth are sensitive too! Sucks that I love Coke Icees so much!
I was lucky and didn’t need braces, but they could definitely use some whitening!
I don’t have braces yet but I’m in the process of getting. Had to wisdom teeth extractions first.
I just got a new car and I love it. I also have sensitive teeth and have never heard of the strips. Pretty cool stuff.
i started using whitening strips on my teeth and now wish I’d used those sensitive strips first. My teeth are all tingly and painful.!I think I need to go check them out. Thank you for the info!
I used to HATE flossing but then I discovered those floss picks and now I floss like twice a day! SO easy!
My sensitive teeth are the reason I’m too scared to whiten them.
I floss up to 3-4 times per day. I CANNOT live without my floss. I carry it in my purse 🙂
I’ve never had braces before. I should have gotten them as a kid when my parents were about to force me but I refused because I already got bullied in class for being Latina (I went to an all-white school) and for being hairy (I wasn’t allowed to shave or wax). I regret not sucking it up then and getting them. What I would do for straight teeth now!
I need these to wear after I wear my Crest whitening strips!
I think I’m probably the only person in the world who loves those peanut butter taffy candies they give out on halloween. The Necco ones. They’re almost like church lady candies, but I cannot get enough. I mention this because I am addicted to all things sweet and I’m pretty sure my teeth are just gonna peace-out one of these days. I have really good dental hygiene but there’s a tiny voice in my head (maybe my mouth?) pleading for me to take it easy on the sugar- it is unfortunately drowned out by all the happy “nom nom” noises. 🙂
The square root of 2014 is 44-point-something. 🙂
Lol I ate a snickers bar this morning 🙂
Does sugar sensitivity count? I hope it works for that too. 😮
I’m currently daydreaming about a mouthful of gummy bears!
So today I got super soaked by rain going to the gym. Like seriously super soaked. But I took it like a champ and was singing in the rain while my mascara was running in my eyes and down my face. What would of you done?
Pick me Karen! My boyfriend has super sensitive teeth and I could def use that gift card for more makeup lol. (please delete my previous comment. Didn’t realize my whole name would show up.)
I would love to try out these products! Oral health is super important to me (mainly because I eat candy like willy wonka). 🙂
Omg those sensi stop strips are genius! I have to get those for my Mom. She has super sensitive teeth.
Thanks for doing another giveaway!! 🙂
I would love to win this! Love your blog and your informative reviews 🙂
I especially love your reviews on Limited Edition items!!
Ecghs, I too have sensitive back teefs :(. I had braces for a little over two years, and I actually liked how I looked with them. I thought I looked pretty cute and felt sad having them removed Lol!
i want a Krispy Kreme really bad right now!
Flossing is very important, I try to floss everyday 🙂
Your blog is the best! 🙂
I’m eating snickers ice cream!
I would LOVE this prize! Sensitive teeth are the worst.
Never had braces, but my brother had two sets. I don’t floss nearly as often as I should… Also, I am a frequent flyer of my two local Walgreens (I have one half a mile away, I’m always walking up there!), would love this!
I was told as a teenager id need braces to fix my overbite but declined after i learned id have to wear brackets on every other tooth and was horrified at how that would look
I had braces from sophomore year in HS until senior. It was not fun 🙁 i missed eating my chewy caramel and popping lots of gum..LOL
I have very sensitive teeth and gums ,plu I like Walgreens anyway.
I floss after each meal.
My teeth would love all that Crest goodness!!
Oh these sound great, they would be good for in between the fluoride treatment I get at the dentist
Ever since I got my fillings my teeth have been sensitive. I also have sensitive skin in my mouth so i can’t use strong toothpaste or mouth wash, or my skin will go raw.
I floss everyday! Cavities are so expensive!
I floss 3x daily.
Hah, I just saw these at target not two hours ago, very interested!
I had braces in college!
Ooo I have sensitive teeth 🙁 this looks like a great prize package, thanks Karen and Crest!
I would love to try crest sensitive line. I grew up on Crest but switched to Colgate Sensitive. I had no idea Crest made a sensitive line.
Yes, I got braces in middle school and still remember getting called brace face all the time by one of my cousin.
Had braces in high school. It was terribly painful to have them put on, as my teeth were jammed together crookedly.
I have crazily sensitive teeth so I would be so excited to try it!
Floss is my liiiiiife. At least once a day… my teeth are really sensitive which isn’t fun but I do everything I can to try and combat it!
Oh how I need this ENTIRE line! My teeth are sensitive. A popsicle? Avoid! Lol Too much ice? Shivvvver. My teeth are hoping to win this one! Plus, my mom is a Walgreens queen! She goes every week (no lie…balance rewards card and everything). I’d give her the gift card and moi would use the Crest sensitive care collection. It would be a win WIN! Thanks for the opportunity Karen.
I love my Walgreen’s! I hope I get lucky! 🙂
I’m not wearing shoes!
I’d like to try these. Much easier than giving up my beloved sweets lol!!
Thank you so much for sharing Karen! I have struggled with sensitive teeth for quite a while, so I really appreciate this post…ps just had the snickers ice cream bars…seriously get them:)
I’ve always wanted to try the Crest 3D strips! But, I heard that it can damage ur enamel SO i’m excited that these came out! 😀
I want a snickers bar badly right now. It is night time and I have the munchies.,
I’m a flossing addict, I do it in the morning and evening.
I had braces twice, yikes!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Could always use a good drugstore gift card! Thank you!!
I’m lucky and never needed braces! Thanks for having a giveaway.
Yes, I had braces — and it was terrible!
Such am I overdue idea!! I know I’m kicking my own but as intelligent I’m always told I am, both of my spawn, 29 and 25 have sensitive teeth. I can’t wait to try this system and I actually own 4 pairs of shoes, I’m going to get the fifth!! YAYt
I love my coffee too much to give it up, but I wish my teeth would be whiter. It would be great to try the Crest strips, I already use the toothpaste and it’s absolutely the best.
I could really go for a whatchamacallit right now.
Would love to win this!
Cool giveaway!
I have sensitive teeth and I have been wanting to try those strips. I really want to get this!!!
Speaking of flossing, time to research how to floss without being terrified of floss getting stuck in my teeth!
Survivor of three oral surgeries as a tween with the last being free because I hardly winced and the doctor was so impressed.
I had braces in high school and didn’t wear my retainer after. Yup, my teeth moved alright!
I drink lots of coffee, so i could really use this stuff! I love coffee so much but hate how it stains your teeth
Cool.
I floss everyday!
Ooh! I’m definitely going to have to try those out. My teeth are super sensitive to cold stuff, even ice water. And I can never say no to ice cream!
Kittens wearing sweaters!
Yes, I gave sensitive teeth. This would be perfect for me. I had braces as a young kid/teenager but never wore the retainer & my teeth separated 🙁 so I’ve had some work & my poor teeth are SUPER sensitive. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I did have braces, oh and it was horrible!
As soon as I walk in the door shoes come off and slippers go on.
I brush 2x a day floss at least once and use mouthwash on occasion. And crave chocolate all day ever day.

No braces for me! I’m a lucky girl. I floss every night 🙂
I am in my mid 30’s and am just starting to now have sensitive teeth! And it’s not too much fun! Thank goodness for all the dental things we have and wonderful dentists to help with these tooth/teeth challenges! 🙂
I had braces in middle school
I would LOVE to win this! I have always had sensitive teeth.
But, speaking of shoes! I usually wear flats, but it’s notable that today I’m wearing heels because otherwise my pants would drag on the ground. Not cute!
I had braces and now my sons need braces.
Yes, I wore braces for 4yrs and it was a long process but I’m so happy they’re off and at the same time I miss them. I take care of my teeth like no other because I still feel as if I had braces on.
I do have sensitive teeth, so this is a great giveaway!
Sensitive teeth person here. I would love to have this to use.
Never had braces but thinking of doing invisalign.
I never had braces but I secretly wanted them when I was in 5th grade. I also wanted glasses.
I get really sensitive teeth & have been wanting to try this! Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!
i had braces, painful, hated it.
Walgreen’s can keep me happy and healthy any day
You are becoming the Queen of Awesome Giveaways! Well done! 🙂 I think all of us who had braces have receding (and therefore sensitive) gums. Those strips sound pretty great. And just for fun:
Like, have you ever had braces? Yes.
How often do you floss? Every night.
What’s the square root of 2014? 44.88 (rounded; thanks Google)
What shoes are you currently wearing? pretty beat Nike Vomero 6
Why do I want a Snickers bar so bad right now? I don’t. But I do want $75 worth of Cheetos from Walgreens instead. Thanks, Karen. 🙂
I’m psyched this is a Walgreens giveaway because I don’t have CVS or Duane Reade or anything like that where I live! Also, have you guys ever looked at Walgreens’ logo up close? Like the O.G. one with the cauldron and stars? I always thought it looked like a witches’ brew (although of course it is a pharmacy, so I’m sure they meant it to look remedial/healing!) Anyhow, good luck to all and thank you Karen & Tabs for another giveaway!
Walgreens is such a fun store. I never thought I would say that, but I love checking out the new and LE makeup they get in. I am always up for fun and affordable makeup. Those strips sound great for my sensitive chompers. I will be checking them out when I am next out and about.
I’ve never had braces.
I have sensitive teeth too! I used Rx toothpaste, but am always looking for other products to help!
I have never had braces but two of my kids did. I hope you got your Snickers bar.
I want whiter teeth.
Your posts brighten my day!
I’ve never worn traditional braces. I just finished a little more than a year of Invisalign braces, though. I’m still wearing the retainer 24/7 (except for meals and brushing.)
Oy, I’ve had a lot of dental work this year stemming from a softball accident a decade ago! I could use a little dental TLC!
What a nice giveaway! I’m wearing black pumps at work and they are killing me. I’ve been fancy free in my dress flats all summer but I really prefer a heel in the fall and winter to go with my heavier suits, leggings, denims, etc. I’m kicking myself for letting my feet get all soft over the past several months.
Would love to try and the price looks reasonable. Stayed away from the other strips because it was too painful to use. Great giveaway! Thanks
Being that my teeth are just as important as taking care of my face, body and eating properly I always like to pamper them. I floss every day and more importantly after meals. I’ve used teeth whitening strips before and Crest has always been my families preferred brand.
This is a wonderful giveaway and I thank you, Crest and Walgreen’s for the opportunity.
I have very sensitive teeth so I will definitely be checking out some of these products! Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! 🙂
I have very sensitive teeth and would love to try this product! Anything that is not room temperature bothers my teeth, and sensitivity toothpaste helps but does not eliminate the problem.
K I just saw this commercial advertising these and my ice cream addiction agrees I need!!
I floss every. single. day.
I had to get a deep cleaning a couple years ago and I never
want to go through that torture again!!!
Thanks for the super sweet giveaway!
I don’t floss nearly enough (like never, I know – so bad!). I’m wearing a pair of $99 Michael Kors heels that I got for $50. Who doesn’t want a Snickers bar right now, LOL??? 🙂
I’ve got super sensitive teeth, especially to cold…the thought of biting into ice cream makes them hurt!
Is it only valid in the USA? I live in Canada but visit the US often and I would love to win and try these products. My teeth are so sensitive that I have to microwave my milk before I eat cereal. I also no longer chew gum or eat sticky candy as I the sensitivity is so bad.
I am so glad my days of braces are over! It was the most exciting day to get them off and I remember like it was yesterday. I am pretty good about my dental hygiene routine and will brush around 3 times a day and I will try to floss every night. I’m not allowing years of torture to go to waste.
I had braces and rubber bands. My brother would do something to make me scream so I’d open my mouth too wide and the rubber band would snap! Fun times. I have VERY sensitive teeth, in fact I hate getting my teeth cleaned because of it. They always tell me I “shouldn’t” feel it, but I DO. Speaking of Three Twins, my hubby and I have been on a Baskin Robbins kick. We have been buying a quart of their seasonal flavor Baseball Nut every other day. That stuff is addicting, seriously it’s SO good. It’s vanilla with blackberry swirled in and cashews. The cashews sound weird, but they aren’t. It’s going to be a sad day when we go to buy another quart and it’s gone. We also get waffle cones from the grocery store to make our own cone at home.
you said Cheetos and now I want them!
Ah, teeth, those lil’ buggers! I had braces twice in the last 3-4 years, now have a crown and permanent retainer and have a whole nightly regimen when it comes to flossing/brushing (I brush during the day, of course). I don’t play when it comes to oral hygiene lol. Those Sensi-Stop Strips would be nice to try w/ my sporadic sensitivity too 🙂
I love walgreens and dental hygiene- this would be awesome!
Could really use that Walgreens gift card!
My teeth only get really sensitive with whitening products!
I have had braces as an adult
My teeth are sensitive to cold foods. I am curious if this product would help.
My teeth are ridiculously sensitive! Sweets, air hitting my teeth when I open my mouth…. I use Sensodyne, but even then, it’s not a cure!
I tried whitening my teeth with strips, some of the solution got onto one of my molars. Excruciating pain! Uhhhh…. I’ll be making an appointment to the dentist, I may need a drill.
I had to have two rounds of braces, plus headgear (cringe). Not so bad as my mom… she had all that, and only just got her third round off recently. Braces as an adult is just miserable. Then there’s my boyfriend, who didn’t need braces at all! Can you believe that?
Ever since I got my braces off, my teeth have been super soft and sensitive, this would be so perfect!!! 🙂
I am addicted to flossinh, so i do it at least ince a day
I just ate a ham sandwich and Doritos…at 10:30 at night.
I floss every single day!
I cannot wait to try the sense-stop strips! Thank you!
Oooh, a different giveaway! Thanks Karen & tab$. 🙂
Hmm…no shoes on right meow (I’m in the apt. Filipino rules/habit/it’s only logical to take your shoes off when at home).
But I had on my high top chucks today! Love LOVE chucks 🙂
Thanks, again!
I think Snickers contains crack. It’s the only explanation.
I’ve never had tooth sensitivity, but all my siblings do.
Super awesome! Thanks for such an amazing giveaway.
*High Five*
The first day of Fall! how wonderful! I can feel the warmth from fireplace and taste the apple cider now 🙂
I luv your contests!
I have sensitive teeth and use sensodyne toothpaste. It really does help. I also need braces, but at, cough, 41, cough, I’m hesitant to do it.
Winning this wld be great! My teeth cld rly use this
I try to floss every day, but I don’t look down on those who don’t. You wouldn’t want a Snickers bar so much if you ate nothing but them for a few days… That cured me for good.
Let’s see I am currently wearing a pair of sketchers casual line shoes. My daughter has been recommended for braces, but I have never worn them. You want a snickers, because they are really good and my favorite bar 🙂
I try to floss every other day
tbarrettno1 at gmail dot com
Do they whiten, too? Because that would be amazing?
I’m making it my new goal to floss every nigh, but right now I’m hitting every other night!
I’ve been wanting to try these strips because I’m too poor to get one of those “pro whitening kits” from the dentist. Pick me!
I used to have braces when I was a kid!
I have really sensitive teeth especially where I have crowns.
I have sensitive teeth!
I had braces when I was younger.
I’ve never had to wear braces, phew! I do get cavities easily unfortunately 🙁 would love to try teeth whitening stuff!
I’ve never had braces before! I am always flossing and care greatly about my dental health. Thanks for the giveaway!
This is an awesome giveaway! I used to wear braces in HS. Thanks for the opportunity!
Yup, I got braces in my late 30’s and now my son has them too. I would love to try the sensitivity patches. I have sensitivity too.
I had braces in high school, and you know how people say sticky candy and gum are the worst for braces? Nope, white bread was my worst enemy. The bread would get all stuck in between my braces it was horrible! I shudder to think about it. But now that I have the straight teeth, I’m a coffee and red wine drinker and can definitely use some whitening in my life!
Awesome giveaway! Yay, for Crest-Sensi products! Now, I need to figure out where to store all my beauty products and Cheetos! Lol!
I’m horrible about flossing. I even have a sonicare flosser thingie. I hate flossing though.
i have sensitive teeth so i really want to try this toothpaste
My children would love this! They hate brushing their teeth, but I can sure reward them if I win that gift card:) Oh, and I am really craving some chocolate right now it’s that time of the month TMI I know sorry! :))
I’ve never had braces 🙂
Would love to win this for me and my love. We both have sensitive teeth and I’ve used crest whitening strips before and they worked great!
ME…WANT…THIS…BAD!!! LOL! PRETTY PLEASE 🙂
My hubby has sensitive teeth and might like to give these products a go. Looking forward to busting out my fall lippy shades!
Thanks for the giveaway!
EVERYONE IS AWESOME! ! !
These sound great!
I broke my tooth while I was standing near square shaped column, and hit the corner of my tooth. Weirdest story ever, breaking tooth by laughing out really loud. I wonder if anyone ever faced something like that!
These new products sound awesome. I have had tooth sensitivity for years and nothing I have tried has worked to end it.
I have sensitive teeth so I have to floss about 2 times a day to avoid swelling in my gums.
I had braces for 3 years and I’ve gone to get them cleaned and I still can’t seem to get my pearly whites back. And this would be so amazing to win to regain my confident smile.
I’ve never had braces, and right now I’m wearing my Rainbow sandals. My current pair is looking a little haggard, I’m thinking I need to stop by the San Clemente outlet and grab another!
Winning this would be awesome, I have ultra sensitive teeth!
