Does a dentist teeth whitening make a big difference on yellow teeth?
The local dentist has a special if i get my teeth cleaned they do a free teeth whitening, anyone ever done one of these? I use crest white strips on & off not consistent to see change as the strips are a sloppy process.
--------------------
Yeah, the whitening done by dentist are often the best tough it cost a lot.. But there's also other ways you can to it yourself. If you are really looking for teeth whitening, normal toothpaste probably isn't enough just by itself. I suggest doing what this mom did, http://laurateethwhiteningblog.blogspot.com/

What are the types of teeth whitening and how are they different?
I have heard about laser teeth whitening and zoom whitening. I think that there may be some more other types. How are they different and which one is the best?
--------------------
DO NOT TRY LASER. TRY THIS. THIS METHOD IS SAFE. Step 1 Brush and floss regularly to reduce or prevent stains. Step 2 Try whitening toothpastes. Though heavily advertised, these only partially whiten teeth and don't provide a complete remedy. Make sure the toothpaste has the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval and has been clinically proved to whiten teeth effectively. Very few whitening toothpastes have undergone any type of clinical trial, and ones that are too abrasive can damage teeth or make them very sensitive. Step 3 Get regular dental cleanings, which remove many food and tobacco stains. No amount of cleaning will remove the severe staining left by tetracycline or systemic disease because these pigments lie inside the tooth; you'll have to take more aggressive measures against these. Step 4 Consider the two options, in-office and at-home treatments, for bleaching your teeth. A dentist performs in-office treatments by coating the teeth with a bleaching agent, then using periodic flashes of light to activate the solution. Treatments last 30 to 60 minutes, and the complete procedure often requires several appointments. In at-home treatments, patients wear a mouth guard fitted with bleaching gel 2 hours a day for two weeks, depending on the severity of staining. Step 5 Think about getting veneers, which are custom-made shells bonded to the teeth with resins. This procedure often requires removing a small amount of tooth structure and is the most invasive, as well as the most expensive, treatment option. You can also use BAKING SODA No bleaching method can permanently whiten teeth, and all require repeated treatments, especially if the factor that caused staining still exists. All of the bleaching mechanisms described here can cause tooth sensitivity, usually temporary (lasting up to several weeks). Never try to remove or scrape off stains with your fingernails or other sharp objects. The ADA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration discourage use of over-the-counter bleaching kits, which can damage your gums.

What is the best home teeth whitening kit?
I'm interesting in whitening my teeth a shade or so, and I can't afford to get it done by the dentist. I wanted to know what is the best whitening kit to buy. Please only recommend if you have tried it or some one you know personally has tried. Thanks!
--------------------
do this twice a day. once in the morning and before you go to sleep for a week and i can PROMISE you wil see a difference. Get a ziplok bagie and put some baking soda in and keep in in the washroom. When you brush your teeth, once the toothpaste is on..dip it in the baggie and continue brushing your teeth with the baking soda on the toothbrush. And brush for a full 2 minutes. You need to remove the tough stains on your teeth and it doesnt take 15 seconds to do that. It might burn the first time a little but thats because you removed everything possible and it wont hurt as bad the second time & so on. Hope this helps/works..cuz it did 100% for me. ?

What is the Best teeth whitening product?
I've never used any teeth whitening products and I'd like to remove some stains from my teeth. So which one/ones works the best? A d does the white eventually fade back to the same color your tooth was before to where you'd have to whiten them again? If so, how long does the white usually last before it starts to fade?

I smoked for quite a few years. After I quit, I wanted to whiten my teeth. My dentist told me to use this teeth whitening kit. It worked great and I appreciate not having to spend a fortune. http://best-home-teeth-whitening.info

How well do teeth whitening trays from the store work?
I want to get the teeth whitening trays from the store. Do they work? How long do they take to work?
--------------------
Teeth whitening is commonly accomplished by applying a bleaching agent to the teeth. The longer the bleaching agent is applied the better it works. Or at least this is how every teeth whitening system is marketed. If you are really looking for teeth whitening, normal toothpaste probably isn't enough just by itself. I suggest doing what this mom did, http://laurateethwhiteningblog.blogspot.com/

What is the best teeth whitening product?
I have tried using various white strips (the old crest white strips, listerine, and colgate supreme) and a couple whitening trays but with everyone after the first treatment my teeth become sensitive and on the second i get VERY painful shocks in my teeth which i think is from the nerves. I dont know what the problem is but i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. P.S. i use sensodyne religiously and it works great just not when i try to whiten my teeth.
--------------------
Going to the Dentist is always the best. They clean and polish your teeth with the correct tools. BUT! if your on a major budget... hydrogen Peroxide. Use it everyday for about two weeks like a mouth wash for about two min. Dont forget to Rinse.

What brand of teeth whitening strips work the best?
I have been through tubes of whitening toothpaste and my teeth are not white yet.
--------------------
There are also many kinds of over-the-counter teeth whiteners, but they are expensive, have unreliable results, and may actually cause harm to teeth. They are also messy, and some people have even experienced allergic reactions from the bleaching chemicals inside the over the counter teeth whitening kits. It is best to leave teeth whitening to those who are trained to deal with any kind of side effects that may arise. I found a website all about teeth whitening that you should check out http://www.r4md.com/dentistry/#whitening

Is laser teeth whitening better at making the teeth white as compared to the trays the dentists give?
I had the trays once but they didnt make the entire tooth white, as if the product didnt cover the entire tooth, it wasnt uniform. will the laser (i think its laser), the one time whitening be better at making the teeth all white?
--------------------
It's a heck lot more precise, quicker, safer and better than chemical whitening. It's like the ultimate whitening product. The only issue is it's too darn expensive. Make sure you use decent whitening toothpastes to maintain it afterwards.

what is the best method for teeth whitening?
I am looking for a teeth whitening product/service that can give me permanent white teeth. There are so many different methods such as whitening pens, whitening strips, whitening toothpaste or simply paying to get my teeth bleached at my local dentist. So the question is which method can offer the best overall results in the least time and that is permanent.
--------------------
Your dentist can hook you up with a gel that goes in some trays. That worked really well for me, better than any of the over the counter stuff and about the same price. If you want less invasive, get some mouthwash with baking soda or other lightener in it.

What teeth whitening products work the best?
I'm not happy with the color of my teeth recently, I'd like to whiten up to a couple of shades lighter. It just makes me really self conscious and it bothers me all the time. I've heard that the crest 360 whitening system with the toothpaste and mouthwash works okay, has anyone used it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
--------------------
I swish with hydrogen peroxide. Its about $5 or so Its the stuff that foams up that you put on cuts. mix it with equal amount of water and swish for one minute after you brush your teeth. 2 times a day DO NOT SWALLOW IT. YOU WILL GET POISONED AND IT CAN BE FATAL Then rinse out with water for another minute or so. or White Strips They have hydrogen peroxide in them a little more expensive or A Water Flosser about $40 - $60 Works VERY well Just got one today and i can already feel results. or Baking soda (Arm & Hammer) very inexpensive cover the toothpaste line with it and brush normally it tastes like crap but it works really well There are lots of ways floating around the interwebs. Just Google "Home Teeth Whitening" or something like that

What kind of teeth whitening strips should I use?
I have tried the Crest Whitestrips (Premium, I believe), and they worked great as far as whitening goes. I now would like to try something different, mainly because the strips would slip off my teeth very easily and left white stains on my gums. Also, they left my gums very sensitive, and every time I would brush my teeth, my gums would bleed! If there are any whitening strips on the market that whiten fast but do not leave my gums in pain, please let me know.

If your looking for whitening Strips then The Alta teeth whitening product is the best choice Many of frnds hav used it and they are pretty happy i personally hav never used it but heard lot of good things. Also they are giving free samples you should try it out http://www.marina-searches.ws

What teeth whitening strip product do you suggest?
I'm 15 years old and my teeth aren't exactly white, i'm thinking of buying some whitening strips product ( not the floss, or any of those other stuff) so which ones would you recommend? Also it has to be available in like a common store like walgreens, or something cuz i can't shop online. oh ya i forgot to ask is the crest whitening strips that makes your teeth very sensitive a big problem? and does it have a long term effect?
--------------------
The crest whitening strips make my teeth sensitive. If you are looking for something from your local store, I don't know what to tell you b/c most of that stuff is poor quality. I would recommend finding someone who can order professional whitening products online. Here's a good site with teeth whitening product reviews. http://32whiteteeth.com/teeth-whitening-… Best of luck to you

I brush and floss daily, but my teeth are still yellowish. I can't afford to get my teeth whitened by a dentist and I don't want to use whitening strips because they haven't helped before. I need suggestions on what I can possibly use instead and how do use it. Thank you!

What teeth whitening products work for you?
I have been trying to find a way to whiten my teeth, so I don't have to spend $500+ at the dentist. I have tried Listerine whitening mouthwash and Crest white strips a long with several whitening toothpaste. I have not been successful with any of those products. Have you tried anything that work that is not going to break the bank? Thanks
--------------------
I know you probably don't want to get in-office whitening, but hear me out for a second. The laser whitening is very expensive, around $500 which is what you were referring to in the original question. However the whitening trays that you can buy from the dentist are much cheaper. Think of it as like a midpoint between costly laser whitening and cheap over the counter products. Buying whitening trays from the dentist is almost like an investment. It costs more in the beginning because you have to pay for the trays. But you will only need to buy the trays once! To buy refills of the gel for touch-ups only costs about $15-20 per tube. Touch-ups only need to be made as necessary and since the office strength gel is more effective, I only have to do mine about 2x a year. The gel tubes cost less than Crest whitestrips, which usually run at about $40/pack. And I find that Crest whitestrips don't really keep your teeth white unless you continue to use them. TIP: If you want the trays made for cheap, see if there is a dental hygiene school near where you live. Usually for a nominal fee you can have an appointment with a student who can fabricate the whitening trays for you at the school. My school charges only $10 for this! And if you still are against trying the dentist trays I can tell you I like Crest Pro-Health toothpaste. It's really good for removing surface stain and making your teeth feel super clean.
