Question about teeth whitening by dentist?

I'm getting my teeth whitened by the dentist and i'm going in in the next couple of days to get the mold for my teeth. This is what i put the gel into and what i wear either day time of night time for half an hour to get my teeth white. How long will it take for the mold to come back? How quick will I see results after using it?
--------------------
ermm it takes around a week for the mold to come and youll start seein the results within 3 days

what is the best teeth whitening system?

I use crest white strips already and i have really nice white teeth i just want like super white like how people that get braces taken off white, i dont really want to bleach them i like wanna try like a 15 min gel or like that flashlight thing but dont know what works good.
--------------------
There's this acclaimed whitening system that works in an hour using light. Apparently, it's very comfortable and effective. It may be a tad expensive though. Just visit the local dentist and inquire, or browse through the brochures, or Internet-Search-Engine it. I use Colgate. It's good, and their formulas do work, but over a week or something. You must brush well. Try Wrigley's Extra White as well. (with or without Xylitol), it is probably in your closest convenient store.

Any natural remedies for teeth whitening?

Which teeth whitening strips are the best?

I just would like to know which brands people trust and which work the best. I am looking for some simple whitening strips that you just wear like for a half hour or something. Not too sure how they work but any advice helps. Thanks!
--------------------
crest whitestrips really work. they're awesome. i haven't used them in a lonnng time, but there are directions on the box. you can talk with them on, your teeth shouldn't be sparkling clean when you put them on, but definitly not disgusting and dirty. i think i put them on for about 20 minutes, twice a week for a month, but, for best results, read the box and follow the directions. there are strips for the upper and lower teeth. they work great.

Can you use teeth whitening paint on dental bonding?

My dentist ruined my smile. He told me that he would match the colour of my other teeth on my two front teeth with dental bonding. Now it looks like I have smokers teeth only on my two front ones and the rest are perfectly white. Anyone ever take a dentist to small claims court?
--------------------
you can use it but it won't whiten the bonding, in fact it will whiten the tooth more and will make the bonding stand out even more

What is the best method of whitening your teeth after you get your braces off?

Whitening strips? Which ones? Whitening toothpaste? Which is best? Do they give you something to help whiten them? And did you have any little squares on your teeth afterwards? Thanks :) I get mine off in 8 days :D
--------------------
I never had the scars from braces on my teeth, but as soon as I got them done I used "White & Brite" that I got from my dentist.. it came with 2 little syringes filled with the whitening agent, and was around $50 and I put the gel in my retainer I received from my dentist! But that was like 4 years ago, and I recently realized I needed to touch up so I tried the new Crest 3D Professional Effects, which is the strongest product Crest provides, and found it works JUST as well, if not better, bc you don't have the gel and the strips stayed in place the entire time! Congrats on getting your braces off though and good luck whitening!! **Also- they have the same 3D line toothpaste and mouth wash too that I have been using!

Question about wisdom teeth and whitening?

Ive never had my wisdom teeth pulled out and I find it odd that Ive never had a problem of them ever hurting my mouth. Is it recommeneded that wisdom teeth should be pulled out? And about whitening teeth, are over the counter products actually work? If they have worked for you, could you recommend what you used?
--------------------
As far as wisdom teeth, I'm 31 and still have mine. They are all fully erupted and they don't bother me. But they are hard to brush, and I do have one that's kind of decayed, so of course the dentist recommended I get two of them removed. I have used Crest Whitestrips in the past when they first came out on the Market. For me they did seem to work, but they made my teeth sensitive, so I stopped using them.

what is the best remedy for teeth whitening?

I need a teeth whitener that is not expensive and dangerous, but effective
--------------------
I did what "Chewy" said with the peroxide and baking soda + my whitening toothpaste. I'm a heavy coffee drinker and my regular 'whitening' brand was not cutting it for me. In my case, it took some time to undo years of coffee stains. I did see improvement in one week. Now, they're many shades whiter to the point I'm no longer embarrassed to smile. I have not suffered any ill effects from this process, granted I've only been doing it for just short of a year. Level teaspoon of baking soda One quarter teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. Mix with one normal application of toothpaste paste or gel. Do this either first thing in the morning or right before bed, but not both. Peace. T

Is hydrogen peroxide for whitening teeth harmful?

I heard it whitens teeth but I also heard it can be bad for your health.
--------------------
Nope, not if you don't do it too often. I make a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. The worst that can happen is your gums might lighten a little bit along with your teeth The taste is horrid, though.

Recommend a great laser teeth whitening clinic in London?

I am looking to have my teeth whitened for my wedding and I want to find a reliable, certified clinic who does this. If you have had your teeth whitened and can recommend a place, let me know. I am looking for personal recommendations only, not just links found on Google, so please, if you can help I would appreciate it. An explanation on why you would recommend them would be great. :)
--------------------
You need to find a dentist who uses the Zoom whitening machine as its world wide. They are all the same whichever dentist you pick. It costs $850.00 here in Australia. I had yellow teeth from smoking and it brought them 6 shades lighter and made a huge difference. It was worth it for me. I've also read Celebrity Sexy Smile or Teeth is extremely good too and alot cheaper. You can buy this off the net or over the counter in the USA.

Do you have any teeth whitening suggestions?

i just got my braces off. but i want to whiten my teeth. fast, easy,simple, and inexpensive. are there any suggestions?
--------------------
consult a dental expert before choosing an at-home teeth whitening system that has quality ingredients that can deliver safe and effective whiter teeth results in just a matter of time. discolored and stained teeth are caused by the food you eat and the drinks that you take in. be wary that the most common culprits that can stain teeth are colas, coffee, tea, chocolates, sauces, plum, red wine, etc. try to avoid these culprits if you want to maintain white teeth. the use of straw when drinking colas and iced tea will be much helpful. for more tips on how to whiten teeth visit http://www.trustedhealthproducts.com

What are the consequences of using a whitening paste or whitening your teeth?

I have heard that you will lose sensitivity of your teeth when you use whitening toothpaste. Is that true? Plus what other problems do they give you in the future? Which whitening toothpaste is the safest/best?
--------------------
When you use whitening agents, they tend to wear away your enamel, which in turn, makes them sensitive as well as making your gums tender due to irritation depending on how abrasive your whitening product is. Your best bet is to use a gradual whitening agent, which won't wreck your teeth.

Is it a serious problem if you get white spots on your gums from using a teeth whitening agent?

Over the last few days; i have been using a Dr Georges dental whitening system. I chose to use this product as it received many very favorable reviews, which i found whilst browsing the web. I have already noticed a difference, however it has made my gums sore, and i now have some white spots on them. Is this serious? And what should i do?
--------------------
It's not that bad, but you should take a day off. It's from the whitening gel getting in the gums. You gums should go back to pink in a day. Just try doing the whitening every other day.

After rinsing my mouth w/ hydrogen peroxide for teeth whitening should i brush my teeth or is it safe enough ?

to let the peroxide sit on my teeth overnight. Is there any damage that is being done to my teeth?
--------------------
You should not be rinsing with straight peroxide. Too much exposure to peroxide can actually break down the enamel on the teeth. Always dilute peroxide with 50% water. Another alternative is an over the counter whitening strip ( Crest). You can also use Arm & Hammer Whitening Booster...this works along with your toothpaste. http://www.myoralcare.com/promos/

What are some good, not expensive teeth whitening brands?

Some people have said that those Listerine Whitening strips work, but some say they don't. What are some brands that you have used and been happy with the results? Thank you for your answers :)
--------------------
The Crest Advanced Seal strips weren't that great. I found that the best & cheapest teeth whitener is hydrogen peroxide. Pour equal parts water & hydrogen peroxide into a little cup & swish for 30 seconds (Don't swallow it, you'll get sick!). Do this for a few days & your teeth will be whiter.

Do any of you guys know any useful teeth whitening remedies i can do at home?

I brush twice a day but i used to drink alot of coffee and tea and that's what caused the problem but i have stopped drinking caffeine now but my teeth are yellow.. help? :(
--------------------
Well, besides buying the ridiculously expensive whitening strips, you could gargle hydrogen peroxide. Do NOT swallow of course. Also using baking powder - not really sure of the correct usage. Check out the site I sourced - it has a few good suggestions. (Just make sure you brush your teeth normally after you follow the suggestions and you might want to look through all of them.) It seems tho that the safest and best things for teeth whitening is hydrogen peroxide or adding a bit of baking powder to your toothpaste when your brush. Good luck!

At home natural teeth whitening with braces?

I'm getting a picture taken for a newspaper (colour!) in a few days and my teeth are looking much yellower than they used to be. I want to try the bicarbonate of soda thing - is this a safe thing to do with braces on my teeth?
--------------------
I wouldn't if your getting your braces off anytime soon, because you can't whiten the parts of the teeth under the braces. So you'll have half whitened and half yellow teeth if you were to get them off soon. And really, if you just want whiter teeth naturally don't drink any pop and brush your teeth after you eat or drink colored drinks. Seriously you'll see results in a day.

What is the best teeth whitening system that won't wear down the enamel?

i want to buy an over the counter whitening kit from a drug store, but i'm afraid that they will wear down my enamel. any advice? i saw an infomercial for ionic white and i was wondering if that works? i also hear crest white strips work good too. but does anyone know if they kill your enamel?
--------------------
There's one I used called Celebrity Smile which I actually got basically for free from http://mycelebsmile.com/y/ and it worked really good! My teeth are tons whiter after using it and it doesn't hurt the enamel--it's actually the same strength stuff that dentists use in their office!

Why can't children under the age 12 use many teeth whitening products?

I know a lot of teeth things say you should be 12 and over. Is this because they don't want you to make your baby teeth white and then just lose them?
--------------------
No it has nothing to do with your baby teeth. At the age of 12 the pulp chamber (where the nerve is) is too large and you would develop severe sensitivity. You know how when you bite into ice cream or a popsicle with your front teeth, you can really feel the cold? this is kind of the same thing. As we age, the pulp chamber shrinks, thus making our teeth less sensitive to colds, and the solution used to whiten teeth. Also, because the pulp chamber is larger, this makes teeth look more yellow, so your teeth will whiten somewhat as you get a little older. Hope this helps you.
