The Professional Crest Whitestrips kit will include a three-week supply of strips (vs. two for original Whitestrips), an increased level of peroxide, new Crest Dual-Action Whitening Toothpaste, and a Crest Complete Extra Soft toothbrush to keep new stains from forming.

P&G launched its national consumer advertising campaign last month, geared toward the Crest Whitestrips and the Professional Crest Whitestrips. Crest will be partnering with dentists in a number of ways. They include the dentist finder — the Crest Whitestrips Internet site allows visitors to identify dentists offering professional-strength Crest Whitestrips kits. Crest positions Crest Whitestrips as one of many whitening options available to dentists and patients, saying it is 10 times better than the leading whitening toothpaste. P&G also will be providing a wide variety of tools to help professionals build their whitening practices, including continuing education on whitening and practice management.
