They’re at it again with a new whitening product that just debuted last week called Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. I’m actually pretty excited about these strips in particular because they feature a new “advanced seal” technology that adheres the strips to your teeth like never before – or so that’s the claim. Crest illustrates the “adhering power” of the Advanced Seal strips this way: With revolutionary new Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, life doesn’t stop just because you’re whitening. Its groundbreaking adhesive formulation holds the Whitestrips in place, so you can whistle along with the radio, take a shower, and even drin...

With Emeril’s help, Crest solicited the general public to submit their catch-phrase ideas to Youtube. The winner would win $50,000. If you’re interested, here’s my original Whitening Expressions Catch-Phrase Contest Post. Crest has just announced a winning entry and posted it to their website. The $50,000 winner is Lee, from Statesville, North Carolina. He won with the catch phrase “FanTaste-ic”. I have to say, I personally liked a number of entries better than this one, but, hey I’m not the judge. You can watch the winning entry on Crest’s Contest Page. Your Thoughts What did you think of the winning entry...

If they are impressed with what you have to say then you could win a trip to New York City to compete for the title of “Hostess for the Holidays”. I’m not sure how much of an honor this distinction would be for me personally, but I’m sure some of you could appreciate it. Besides, there’s a free 3-day trip to New York City in it for you. Also, the winner of the “Hostess for the Holidays” title will also receive $2,000 towards a home, wardrobe, or personal makeover. They’re only accepting entries through 11/19/08, so get your entry in ASAP. Enter the “Hostess for the Holidays” Contest.

This time around, for a limited time, they’re offering a coupon good for $5 off the Crest Whitestrips Premium product. Typically, Crest Whitestrips Premium retails for around $30 – so $5 should help a bit.

Well, nothing free today, but they are running a pretty cool contest at the moment. Well, not cool so much as it is a great opportunity to win $50,000. Contest Background The Crest Whitening Expressions Catch Phrase Contest is a promotion for Crest’s Whitening Expressions toothpaste line. I have yet to try any of the Whitening Expression products, but I will in the near future so I can post a review for you. But, the flavors sound interesting: Wintergreen Ice, Cinnamon Rush, Extreme Herbal Mint and Refreshing Vanilla Mint. Anyway, in short, the contest asks you to come up with a “catch phrase” that will capture the flavor of Crest Whitening...

They often must contend with doctors who discount their symptoms or do not acknowledge an association with their tubal ligations. But if they do have appropriate medical evaluations, some will find that other conditions are causing their symptoms. At the end of this journey, those who remain without a specific medical diagnosis will indeed have Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome.

This is article 2 of a 14 part series describing PTLS symptoms, current medical understanding, and underlying medical conditions that can mimic PTLS. Case histories of patients who have had tubal ligation reversal and have experienced improvement in their physical and mental symptoms will also be presented.

It may be the way someone talks, their weight, their walk – whatever. But, think for a moment about what you typically notice first about a person. I’m willing to bet that many of you say – a person’s smile. Apparently, with the tooth whitening craze that began several years ago, I’m probably not far off. With this craze, of course, tooth whitening products began flooding the market. The problem is, who knows which actually work, and which just look pretty but do nothing to whiten your teeth? Well, good Housekeeping Magazine set out to answer that very question, and they named their top 4 picks for best tooth whitening product. I can’t verify the Good Housekeeping...

Crest Pro-Health toothpaste is supposed to protect against gingivitis, plaque, tartar, caries, stains, and sensitivity while freshening breath. Users of Pro-Health toothpaste and mouth rinse have voiced complaints on the Internet (from Associated Content to Amazon and beyond) about dark stains appearing between teeth. One consumer tried to remove the stains with another company’s whitening system, then Crest Renewal Strips, to no avail. Complaints equate the stains to those caused by chewing tobacco or taking methamphetamines, which sounds a bit harsh.

These requests come from women who regret having a tubal ligation. A staff member recently asked me how big a problem this is throughout the country.
