--------------------
it can run up to 600 dollars if you do the 'zoom' teeth whitening which is same day whitening. If you read your local newpaper (or alternative paper) you might be able to find some real good specials... even first time patients pricing.

Teeth Whitening.?

Can anyone give me the 411 on Teeth Whitening.....How long does it take? Will I be able to eat the same day? Can I smile without it being uncomfortable? I am debating on when to do it - Because my dilemma is I only have one opportunity to get it done and it happens to be on the same day as my husbands College Graduation - So of course I will be full of smiles and conversation with everyone on that day. Moreover, I need to know if this procedure will put a damper on the day of excitement or will it feel OK enough to not even worry myself over.
--------------------
there are 3 options (that work) ZOOM! 1 hour whitening that you get done at the dentisits office--works 100% of time and only takes 90 monutes (4-15 min. sessions-you get a break in between) you can eat/smile/go about your day. you CANNOT smoke, fring dark liquids for at least 24 hr's. your teeth will be sensitive for about 1 day-but this goes away. this costs $400-600 You can also get trays made by your dentist which may take a few days for them to make, then you buy the gel and do the whitening yourself at home. this is more time consuming. costs about $300-500 Or you can use the crest strips-I they worked for me, and only cost $40...you dont see immediate results. takes a few days to see the differance.

Teeth Whitening?

I bought the classic teeth whitening strips today and used them only once so far today. My teeth didn't hurt at all and I figured that maybe this time I would be lucky with them, (because I've used them before and they killed me!). Well, not until later this evening did my teeth start feeling sensitive.... Does anyone know of a way I can whiten my teeth without pain, or do you know how to help with the pain i'm experiencing with these strips? Thanks
--------------------
Yes, go to a dentist

Teeth whitening?

i got my braces off and my teeth arent as white as they used to be. Any suggestions for whitening on a budget?
--------------------
Well, "budget" is pretty subjective, but my dentist turned me on to Tres Whites, and they worked great. He charged me $100 for a package (7 trays for 7 applications to both uppers and lowers) but I've since found them online A LOT cheaper -- http://www.dentist.net/tres-white-melon.… You only need to use them once or twice a year, and they worked great for me. None of the stuff at the grocery store (white stripes, Rembrandt toothpaste, etc.) seemed to work at all on my teeth, but I did find that the Rembrandt paste helped my teeth stay whiter longer after using Tres Whites. They come in three flavors, and it only takes 45 minutes to an hour a day for one week to see major improvement. The only downside is they make your teeth pretty sensitive for a while. Lasts another week or so after you're done. It's uncomfortable, but not intolerable by any means. Seeing as the dentist charges over $700 for custom trays, this seemed like a bargain. Not to mention the fact that he's the one that told me they work just about as good as the $700 job. Good luck! Straight teeth are great, but straight white teeth are awesome.

Is crest whitening strips still effective if you brush your teeth after?

Is crest whitening strips still effective if you brush your teeth after? Does it disturb the chemicals? I read on the box that it recommends that one does not brush teeth right before the treatment... So... when is the right time to brush?
--------------------
As the directions state - Do not brush BEFORE using strips. The chemicals are harsh on the teeth. It is fine to brush after. The chemicals already did what they are going to do.

Home Teeth Whitening - Saliva is a problem...?

I want some good ideas for at home teeth whitening solutions. Problem with things such as whitestrips or mouthtrays is no matter how hard I seem to try, my mouth produces ridiculous amounts of saliva no matter how hard I try. I literally have an ocean of saliva that makes using these methods too difficult. Anyone have ideas to either eliminate this problem or avoid it? Thanks
--------------------
Hi Ace, I have tried to use the trays before and I do have the same result as you do... just don't know why there are just so much saliva come out! Therefore, i kinda stop using it as it seems didn't do any good to me! Somehow, I have choosen to use other methods such as the powder way or the pen way! Recently there are many teeth whitening product that provide different techniques to suitable to other people! I personally use the powder ones, which I just use a swap to put the powder over my teeth, and it stops the saliva problem, plus even you have lots of saliva, it won't really affect the results! You can see my link below for the review of these products and you can consider if it is something you are looking for! Hope this helps! Nick

Is $150 For Teeth Whitening a Good Deal?

There's a local clinic called Omega Laser in Ottawa, Ontario that is offering laser teeth whitening for only $150. The website is www.omegalaser.net. Is this a good deal for teeth whitening and should I trust them to provide good results?
--------------------
This deal sounds too good to be true, actually. Read all of the fine print and don't sign anything until you know for sure that all they plan to do is the whitening. Often times when a dental office advertises a low fee for something, it is to get you in the door, then they tell you that you need thousands of dollars of other treatment before the advertised treatment can be done. So my advice to you is to be careful.

Does whitening toothpaste wear the enamel off your teeth?

i always use white glo and someone said that whitening toothpaste wear the enamel off your teeth, is this true?
--------------------
Hello..Using toothpaste that has abrasive compounds in it can indeed remove the enamel and if you brush with a stiff bristle brush you are adding to the wear problem...Let me suggest you start using "ProNamel"...it will help whiten and at the same time make the enamel harder. Good luck and I wish you well. The Denture Pro.

Which teeth whitening product works best?

Some people tell me that Crest whitening strips work. But there are differen't kinds. I want to know which one works best
--------------------
it is better to use natural options! for example this product - I do not know if any pharmacies carry it but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and if you want you can read more about the product here http://www.teethwhiten.com/splash.php?ai… before I had no idea that it is possible to whiten my teeth without surgically bleaching them. I tried this product for a few days and they got whiter & brighter so quick that I was shocked. The best thing about this teeth whitening product is that its so easy to use. It only takes me a few minutes twice a day for a few days and then there white for months. I suggest to try this product because at this moment they have Risk Free Trial - so they send you sample for free and you don't have to buy it!

Natural Teeth Whitening Foods?

I've heard that some foods such as strawberries can act as natural teeth whiteners. Do you know any other foods which act as teeth whiteners? And what actually makes each food whiten teeth? Thanks.
--------------------
1. Use baking soda, white vinegar and salt – for a maximum effect. Brush your teeth daily with a paste made from baking soda, salt and white vinegar. Brushing your teeth must be done for 2-3 minutes. Afterwards rinse your mouth with a lot of water and brush your teeth with regular toothpaste for another 2 minutes. 2. Try lemon juice and baking soda. Another natural solution for whitening teeth is to use baking soda along with a few drops of lemon juice for massaging the teeth. As the lemon juice is acid you must be careful and rinse your mouth after using it so that you protect your teeth enamel against corrosion. 3. Mustard oil and salt -another genial solution Great whitening results can be seen if washing your teeth with a combination of mustard oil and salt. 4. Use strawberries for a lovely white shine. Strawberries are not only tasty fruit; they are also our alleys into obtaining great white teeth. Gently massage your teeth with mashed strawberries. Still, you should know that strawberries contain a lot of sugar and acid in their composition and after using them for whitening the teeth you must wash your teeth again with a tooth paste. 5. An apple a day keeps the doctor away- this goes for stains too! Eating daily an apple does not only bring your body minerals and vitamins, but also brushes your teeth and whitens them. 6. Try dried and powdered bay leaves mixed with dried orange peel. This is another solution that is easy to apply, but unfortunately it needs some consistency as results become visible only after a few weeks. 7. Other natural tips for whitening teeth are burnt toast combined with tooth paste. Still, this method of making the teeth look shiner and whiter can cause enamel damage if used improperly on the teeth. You must massage gently the teeth with this paste and have patience as results will be seen gradually. No matter which of these methods you want to try, remember that results can't become visible over night and that patience and consistency are a must.

Teeth Whitening?

Does this brand work? Picture of the bottle: http://thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/listerine_whitening_rinse.jpg && how long does it take to whitening .. && can you use it with braces .. && do you use it weekly,, daily?
--------------------
It isnt very strong, but it does work. I would recommend whitening your teeth with a kit, then using this to preserve the whitening. That's what I do. You can use it with braces, but be careful. If you whiten your teeth while wearing braces, You will have yellow spots where the metal stubs used to be after you get them off. I would wait until they are off and do the whitening at one time.

how do you get your teeth white with a low buget? does the baking powder really work?
--------------------
to whiten teeth without paying much would call you to naturally keep teeth whiter by avoiding the foods and beverages that can cause teeth to become badly discolored like coffee, tea, colas, plum, red wine, chocolates and food sauces and many more. you can have a good program of proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing teeth every after taking a meal. you can also use an at home teeth whitening treatments. choose a teeth whitening system that contains quality ingredients that will not cause gum irritation and problems on teeth. for more tips on teeth whitening visit http://www.trustedhealthproducts.com

teeth whitening?

i was wondering, does rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide make your teeth whiter over time? my cousin said that it worked for her. she also said that she got the idea from her friend who was in the army and she said that they used it to keep their teeth clean.
--------------------
Yes, over time. But do not use it full strength, since it is damaging to the gums. It does, however take a VERY long time, and you may find that whitening strips or the process of lazers at your dentist (zoom) will do the trick faster

--------------------
go to the dentist and have them do it, its a quick one time deal (maybe coverd by ins. but not always check 1st) also the over the counter stuff can really do long term damage to ur teeth, u also don't run the risk of making them to white so that they're fake lookin :( its safe, fast, effective, and not time consuming! *edit* also the over the counter stuff makes ur teeth REALLY sensitive to everything!

Teeth Whitening??

I have been considering going to get my teeth professionally whitened. Has anyone ever gotten this done? Any precautions, or was it just great? ...Thanks! ; D
--------------------
I recommend have your teeth professionally bleached at your dental office. I am a certified dental assistant and I bleach patients teeth all the time. At our office we use ZOOM which is an absolutely great product. It takes about an hour and a half and you also get bleaching trays to maintenance at home. The patients I have bleached did say several hours after getting bleached their teeth were very sensitive, but by the next day the sensitivity was gone and well worth it because they had great results. The prize of ZOOM or any other in office bleaching differs in price depending on the area in which your live. I'm in West Virginia (and yes we do have teeth in WV, lol) and the price is about $400. Also the results are instant.
