Bonded retainers and teeth whitening?
I got my braces off earlier today and I am going to get my retainers next week. I still have my bonded retainers (permanent ones behind teeth) on the top and bottom. I was wondering if I could use any type of teeth whitening (preferably strips) without harming or removing my retainers.
--------------------
Bonded retainers will not be a problem with the Crest Whitestrips as they only cover the fronts of the teeth and just over the biting edge. Although you didn't ask - some more info for you to consider- Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others.The results are usually pretty quick, noticeable in the first few days, best in a week or longer.If you can, do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar, plaque, or orthodontic cement) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). All of the methods (strips, trays, custom trays, in office whitening) have the potential to make your teeth temporarily sensitive, but will not harm the enamel. If you get sensitive use the product every other day in conjunction with a sensitive tooth toothpaste. You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again. Good luck! JAMRDH - a dental hygienist

which teeth whitening treatment is best?
i want to get my teeth whitened like hollywood whitening which cosmetic treatment is the best....not home remedies or home treatments.... maybe next time for home remedies not today!!
--------------------
home treatments can damage the natural protective layer of your teeth, if you can afford it have a dentist whitened your teeth (uv ligth). I have seen a station with these procedure at sams club, I just dont know if the a experts or just some quick trainee

White spots on teeth from whitening strips?
I used some whitening strips today and they left white spots all over my teeth. Is this normal?
--------------------
Yes. The strips temporarily accentuate any hypocalcified areas on your teeth. Usually the tooth rehydrates and the spots disappear again. If not, keep bleaching. It'll bring up the background color and make the white spot less obvious ( I just did the laser bleach on my daughter yesterday. She's got white spots everywhere. they'll settle in a day or 2)

will whitening my teeth (using the trays and the gel) do anything to my enamel? I have worn enamel on parts of my teeth and i dont want to do anything to erode it further. ?

Hi, Lot of people do face problems with yellow teeth. The reason for yellow teeth can be less calcium, smoking or coffee. Some people face problems like yellow to faint yellow teeth also because of too much brushing or using products which harm teeth. While baking soda or peroxide can make your teeth white but it is not recommended. Dentists world over do not recommend use of such pure form substances on teeth as they harm your teeth in longer run. Not all whitening trays are good, in fact many people have complained about irritation and pain with trays. Lot of people want white teeth so that they can smile big and don't get embarrassed while talking to friends and colleagues. Such people can use teeth whitening pens which are 100% safe for your teeth. The best thing about these products is that you can easily get FREE trial to have white teeth. You may order your free trials and have white teeth. You just have to pay for the shipping and handling. Its always better to try before you buy and I am sure it will work for everyone including you. BTW the website where you can get such free samples is http://www.freeteethwhiteningsamples.com… - Its the first top product listed there. I am not promoting the website nor am I associated with it in any manner. Just trying to help someone who is worried about bad/yellow teeth. Hope this helps. Thanx :-)

Medical Hydrogen Peroxide (for wounds) good for whitening teeth?
I have many black bottles of hydrogen peroxide for cuts and scrapes. They are expiring soon and I was wondering if it is good/suitable for whitening teeth? On the bottle it just says rinse in mouth to clean teeth...
--------------------
It is not a good thing for whitening teeth as you shouldn't leave it in your mouth for any length of time. Once the bottles expire use it blood stains on clothes only and don't buy more for cuts as it is too harsh and not recommended for cleansing wounds any more. Soap and water or normal saline is what is recommended to clean wounds and cuts with now.

Any dentists here? What are some teeth whitening options?
I keep hearing about Crest brand whitening strips. However, they also say that the doctor's "in office" procedure also works wonders. What are the pricing differences? What do you guys recommend? My teeth are not yellow, they are just not that white. I brush twice a day. Thanks for all your help =)
--------------------
White strips only whiten front 6 teeth and tend to cause gum irritation. Because they do not seal out saliva, only minimal whitening seen. I recommend custom molded take home trays and gel. An in office "preconditioning" session helps increase whitening if patient has never whitened before. Not a fan of "zoom" or one hour whitening. Teeth get white then darken once teeth hydrate- saliva moistens tooth structure. Prices vary by geographic area. strips are the cheapest of course and custom trays most expensive but very effective and can last 5-7 years.

Does Crest Whitening rinse really whiten teeth?
I want to whiten my teeth, and I want every part of my tooth to be whiten, not just the parts that the strips touch. So I bought the Crest whitening rinse (mouth wash). I was wondering if anybody else has tried this andif it actually works? :)
--------------------
tghe problem with the rinses and tooth pastes is they dont stay in contact with the teeth long enough to have much, if any effect. the best and safest method of whitening is to have it done professionally. it is expensive, but when you think of all the money you waste on products that dont work or do the job...its not so bad. and the whitening at the dentist usually lasts for over a year. I'm a hygiene student and our school clinic does it for only $100.

Where can I purchase teeth whitening strips that whiten over night? HELP!?
I just got my braces off. My teeth are nice && straight now. Although,my teeth are so discolored! I cannot go to school like this. I saw a comercial for whitening strips that you put over your teeth and I think it like covers up the real color of your teeth. It's like a disguise. lol. You know what I'm talking about? Any suggestions?
--------------------
CVS, Walgreens, Walmart. The best are the Crest whitening strips. You can also get whitening gel that isn't very expensive. You apply it to you teeth and leave it for 20 minutes (which means you can't talk or eat for those 20 minutes) then wash it off and your teethe will be much whiter. go to any of the stores listed above and look around!!
