Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strip Deal: My Go-To Is 33% Off For Prime Day
I've tried my fair share of whitening products over the years, but few have impressed me as much as the Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips. Before using them, I rarely saw results with other options, and my sensitive teeth would almost always ache from use. I've experienced neither issue with this enamel-safe product, so it's safe to say I'll be taking advantage of the 33% off Lumineux teeth whitening strip deal during Amazon Prime Day. The editor-approved Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips are at their lowest price all year during Amazon ... More Prime Day. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER Not only are the Lumineux strips now a staple in my own bathroom cabinet, but they've also earned a spot in our shopping guide for the best teeth whitening kits as the top pick for sensitive teeth. They're free of peroxide, an ingredient that can irritate sensitive teeth, and instead rely on plant-based ingredients like coconut oil, lemon peel oil and dead sea salt for a gentle yet effective transformation. I've been using the whitening strips once or twice per week for several months now, and I can confidently say I've noticed a significant difference in the color of my teeth. While it's often hard to tell whether a whitening product is actually working, I've had no doubts with this formula; it's truly erased yellow hues on both my top and bottom teeth. Plus, I've experienced zero sensitivity to the strips, which means I can routinely use them without worry. The Lumineux strips don't go on sale at Amazon often (the last price drop was back in December of last year), so this is somewhat of a rare deal. In fact, this 33% discount brings them down to one of their lowest prices ever, shaking out to just $1.43 per treatment. The box contains 21 treatments, each with strips for both your top and bottom teeth, giving you a complete whitening treatment with every packet. If you also deal with sensitive teeth and have been searching for a no-fuss, gentle way to whiten them, I highly recommend picking up a box of the Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips while they're on sale during Amazon Prime Day.

Our teeth evolved from fish 'body armor' over 460 million years, scientists discover
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Our sensitive teeth originally evolved from the "body armor" of extinct fish that lived 465 million years ago, scientists say. In a new study, the researchers showed how sensory tissue discovered on the exoskeletons of ancient fish is linked to the same "genetic toolkit" that produces human teeth. "This shows us that 'teeth' can also be sensory even when they're not in the mouth," study co-author Yara Haridy, a paleontologist and evolutionary biologist at the University of Chicago, said in a statement. Haridy and colleagues published their findings Wednesday (May 21) in the journal Nature. Originally, the researchers set out to identify the earliest vertebrate in the fossil record, seeking out fossil specimens from the Cambrian and Ordovician periods (541 million to 443 million years ago). One telltale sign of a vertebrate species is the presence of internal tubules for dentine, a calcified tissue that is found just underneath the enamel in human teeth, but that is found in external bumps in ancient fish armor. While using high-resolution CT scans to investigate the jawless "first fish" species Anatolepis heintzi, the researchers discovered what looked like pores filled with dentine. To confirm this, they compared A. heintzi to a coterie of ancient fossils and modern marine life. But as they looked more closely, they realized that the supposed dentine-lined pores were actually more like the sensory organs on the shells of crabs. A. heintz was therefore an ancient invertebrate arthropod — not a vertebrate fish.

Eventually, that mineralized tissue evolved into dentine — and into our sensitive teeth. The new study supports the idea that sensory structures evolved on exoskeletons at least 460 million years ago, and then later in evolutionary history, animals used the same "genetic toolkit" to make teeth. "Viewed through this evolutionary lens, the fact that teeth in the mouth are extremely sensitive is less of a mystery, and more a reflection of their evolutionary origins within the sensory armor of early vertebrates," the researchers wrote in the study.
