does anyone know what is a good tip to make your teeth whiter without actually whitening them at the dentist?

thank you
--------------------
use hydrogen peroxide. The oxygen that gets released will bleach your teeth but it can burn your gums too.

How can I whiten my teeth with things I have at home?

Hello everyone, I quit smoking about 4 months ago (yay me!) However, my teeth have never recovered! :-( Are there any home remedies you know of which can whiten my teeth.. Nothing with Vinegar please... can't stand the stuff... yuck.
--------------------
Yay you! Congrats on quitting smoking, that's a major achievement. I have read that baking soda and hydrogen peroxide work to whiten teeth. You mix it together to make a paste then brush with it. Don't swallow it though because it taste bad. You can also brush with your regular toothpaste after brushing with this. Should help you and it doesn't have vinegar! If you want to go a different route, my sister told me about a site that has good teeth whitener info. It's a good resource because the person that owns the site goes into details about what she did to get her teeth whiter. If you are interested, check out the resource link below. Whatever you do, good luck!

What is the best thing to use to whiten my teeth?

My teeth are really yellow from years of smoking and I want to whiten them. Anyone have a good product that works well?
--------------------
Over the counter tooth whitening products (toothpastes, gums, strips, etc) work by wearing away the top (stained) layers of your teeth. This whitens them temporarily, but leads to worse and deeper staining in the long run. If you want a good, reliable, permanent result, you'll have to go to a dentist and have it done professionally. They do it with UV light, and doesn't cause any damage to the teeth. It can be expensive though, up to $500 depending on where you live. But, there are a ton of websites online that will help you to find a reputable dentist to do it overseas for a fraction of the cost, and you can get a short holiday out of it as well!

What is a good Teeth whitening product?

See when i was about 8, I slid on concrete (on my face :() and broke half of the bottom of my front tooth. They fixed it by sculpting it. Now that i got my braces off a month ago.. u can totally see the difference in color between the top and bottom half of the broken tooth.. I mean everyone says my teeth are white.. but thats only from far away.. but there not yellow yellow.. just a tint. :( Any good tips for whitenning or products?
--------------------
I'm not sure if you can use whitening product at the store for teeth that arent real, it might come out with a bad result, I would call or ask your dentist.

Dentist Teeth Whitening?

How long does it last and how much is it? thanks!
--------------------
Be really, really careful. I had it done (Zoom Whitening, I think it was) and it was the most painful thing I've felt in a while. They didn't say anything about a possibility of serious pain, but it came. It felt like little "zings", as though the nerves in my mouth were being ripped out. I did an internet search when I got home (I was suspicious of their claim that no one else had reported pain) and found forum after forum of people explaining their horrific experiences. Do your research, and check out a few nonbiased forums, because it hurt horribly for me. I had to leave before it was halfway done.

What are the foods that cause teeth staining?

I'm going to get my teeth professionally whitened soon and knowing that whitening isn't permanent, what are the foods and drinks I should avoid to make the whitening last longer. I know I shouldn't be drinking fruit juices or sodas or red wine. I should avoid cherries and blueberries. What else?
--------------------
::General Staining:: - Soda Pop: It can be your teeth's worse enemy. The acid in pop can "eat" your tooth's enamel to cause cavities. If you must drink pop try sugar free or use a straw. A straw allows less sugary, tooth staining liquids to reach you front teeth. - Coffee and Tea.: It stains teeth destroying your naturally white smile. The heat from the coffee can also cause small fractures in your tooth's surfaces. Try drinking cooler coffee and use a straw or brush your teeth after drinking coffee or tea. - Smoking will cause a build up on teeth that can cause a yellow to orange color staining. These stains can take longer to lighten. - Food such as curry can stain your teeth... For more info, go to http://www.dentalgentlecare.com/what_age…

how do i whiten my teeth if they are sensitive?

i have really sensitive teeth but there really yellow and very embarrassing i can`t do whitening is there safe whitening for sensitive teeth ?
--------------------
If you have really sensitive teeth, you can still do teeth whitening. you can do one of two things: 1. Go for a lower hydrogen peroxide concentration teeth whitening system. Although it will take longer to whiten you teeth, you are less likely to get sensitivity. 2. Get professional bleaching trays made at your local dentist. After whitneing your teeth, immediately use a desensitizing product such as Relief ACP Oral Care Gel, UltraEZ Desensitizing Gel. This will help a lot! there are many teeth whitening product reviews here: http://www.teethwhiteningreviews.com

How can I whiten my teeth?

Is there a way to whiten teeth without damaging enamel?

I want to get whiter teeth without using white strips or anything like that because I have sensitive teeth and I know they can damage enamel. Besides brushing 2-3 times daily and flossing is there a 'healthy' way to get white teeth?
--------------------
It seems silly, but rubbing mashed strawberry on your teeth can help to whiten them. I haven't ever tried it but it's a known home beauty treatment. Personally, I don't like spending money on whitener strips so I use baking soda and peroxide to brush my teeth. Really just get a small dish of baking soda near your sink and add enough peroxide to make a paste. Apply to your teeth with your brush and gently brush. Be sure not to swallow any of the peroxide and rise your mouth out with water. It keeps them nice and white as well as squeaky clean.

I need a cheap way to whiten teeth?

I dont want to spend over $20 for a teeth whitening but idk which method to chose i like the white strips but idk if there is anything better
--------------------
Forget white strips, and all that other junk.. You asked for a cheap way to whiten your teeth? Well just simply use Baking Soda & Peroxide (in the brown bottle) they both cost under a $ and is the two main ingrediants in all teeth whitening. Mine are as white as snow. I get complements everyday about how beautiful my teeth are. I don't use that method everyday, but it's a sure way to get your teeth white from, cigerette and coffee stains aswell as plaq...Glad i could help

whats the best way to get really white teeth?

I brush my teeth two times a day... Just wondering is anyone knows any home methods available for whitening teeth... I heard baking power :s any ideas?
--------------------
this, i have small tips for you 1. Avoid drinking coffee and red wine. Usually, the second drink that can quickly leave the stain on teeth. 2. Eat vegetables can clean teeth.vegetables appeared to be clean teeth naturally. 3. Note brush your teeth. Brush you can not do "tasks" if the operation has been worn or outdated. You may not include people who can use a tooth brush in a long time, but believe many people are "loyal" to their brush teeth although age has been obsoleted eaten. If you care to brush your teeth, you will certainly understand that the toothbrush may not be able to clean the stain on your teeth if most of the hair brush that has been lost. 4. Strawberry fruit has a natural effect that can whiten teeth because the fruit contains Vitamin C that rate high. If you're eager to drink juice strawberry's, do not dispose of the waste. Take it and scrape pulp in teeth, taken shortly after, gargling. Do regularly to get the maximum results. 5. Skittleur teeth with the routine once every 12 hours is the basic rule that you must do to get the white teeth. This habit can protect teeth from plaque and stain that be naughty. 6. Rub lemon rind in the teeth can also whiten your teeth. Do with the regular results could survive that long. 7. Avoid smoking. Smoking is the fastest way to change the color of teeth yellow. 8. Take advantage of dental floss to clean teeth during the day at least once. Dirt is very easy to slip in during the teeth cleaned and if not, I will become tartar. 9. Use a toothpaste that has the formula to whiten teeth according to doctors advice. 10. Familiarize yourself to visit the dentist at least once a year subscription to get your dental care so that the operation other than the more clean, teeth can become stronger. you can follow this information at http://whitening-tooth.co…

Iam Going to Dentist and should i get my teeth whitened proffesionally?

Well i got an appointment and somebody told me that Crest strips make your teeth sensitive ....well i can afford Proffesionally done by doctor also but do they actually worth it and how long does they last ?...........
--------------------
The whitening done in the dental office will give you the best possible results. There still may be some sensitivity (About 10% of the time) but the dentist will be able to treat it and will only be temporary.

What should I do when my teeth are extra sensitive?

I whitened my teeth with an at-home bleaching kit from the dentist's office and my teeth only felt slightly sensitive while doing it. Then afterwards the pain got progressively worse until it was pretty excruciating, and now its better, but still a nagging pain and sensitivity. This has been going on for HOURS now! I have been using a special sensitivity toothpaste with flouride when I brush, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I also tried tylenol and vicodin which didn't help the pain either. Does anyone know any products or remedies or ANYTHING to help get rid of or prevent tooth sensitivity? I'm supposed to use that whitening kit at least a few times to get desired results, but now I'm dreading ever doing it again after the pain. Is there anything else I can do to combat the sensitivity? Thanks.
--------------------
Sensodyne-F Revitalizing contains fluoride which not only prevents cavities, but also helps strengthen and remineralize tooth enamel. There are several other immediate relief products out on the market. One of them is Orajel, which can numb the area for temporary pain relief. Also, I once tried a product that came with swabs to desensitize your teeth with and it's supposed to keep the pain away for at least a month after only one use. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was called...but it did work. If you go to the store, you'll probably find other stuff like that around the oral care section.

Gums bleeched??? So I had the ingenius idea of whitening my teeth 2x as fast...?

So i had the idea of whitening my teeth 2x as fast... so i had my whitening toothpaste along with hydrogen peroxide and i was scrubbing while adding in the peroxide and i guess i scrubbed too much on a part of my mouth and my gums sting and now their WHITE !!!! sooo i think i bleeched my gums? -question is, will it go away soon? is it pernemant? eek!! stupid idea... any help??? was just gonna go on a 1st date...
--------------------
Nah, its not perminant. If you put bleach on your skin, you will get little white dots too. its nothing to be worried about. The peroxide was just killing the bacteria and some of the tissue on your gums. Just leave it alone... It should be gone in an hour or so.

How often can you safely whiten your teeth?

I used Crest Whitestrips Premium about two years ago to whiten my teeth, and one year ago, I used half a Crest Whitestrips Classic pack to make them just a bit whiter. I want to use whitestrips again soon, but I was wondering if it was safe for my tooth enamel. Can you recommend some products that would whiten my teeth (only a shade or two lighter) that aren't too harsh?
--------------------
natures way is strawberries believe it or not. just mash them up and set the paste on your teeth for a few minutes. it tastes great, its inexpensive, and its 100 percent natural.

whitening teeth?

is there a way to get my teeth extra white without having to go to the doctor? does baking soda work?
--------------------
I had Brite Smile done and NOTHING will work like that BUT A couple things. 1) Whitening strips 2) Whitening mouthwash 3) Gargle with a mix of hydrogen peroxide and water (read the bottle and it will tell you the ideal ratio of water to hydrogen peroxide) 4) Do a quick once over on your teeth when you get home from school or work with a little bit of baking soda on a wet toothbrush. Drinking soda, coffee, smoking etc will make it harder to whiten then..... After you do any of the above do not drink/eat anything with food coloring/dye or smoke for about 30 min.

whitening teeth?

is there a way where i don't have to fork out for expensive treatments or messy kits to get naturally whiter teeth? like avoiding certin food ect.. give us any helpful hints thank you x x x
--------------------
for years people have used BAKING SODA to whiten their teeth. Wet your toothbrush and dip into the soda. The longer you brush your teeth and more often, they will become more whiter. Cocoa

Tooth-whitening toothpaste and mouth rinse doesn't work. Is there an alternative way?

Will I have to have a dentist/oral hygienist whiten them for me or is there another way of doing it myself? Like I said, toothpaste that supposedly whitens never does for me.
--------------------
Yup probably will have to go to a dentist/oral hygienist for a drastically whiter smile. What you can try is gargling hydrogen peroxide mixed with at least the same amount of water...it whitens teeth but only about two shades or so...

Questions about teeth - Veneering porcelain + Whitening strips?

I believe I have had my front teeth treated with veneering porcelain. The original area of the teeth is white, but you the restored bits are clear-ish... and you can see that my original teeth weren't smooth, more like saw blades than knife blades. Kind of like this: http://www.etdr.net/images/vitavm7teeth.… Anyways, I was wondering if these "veneering porcelain" treated teeth would be compatible with whitening strips. I understand that the white strips act upon the surface of the teeth... meaning there's not much they can do when the surface is already coated with porcelain, yeah...? What should I do?
--------------------
You can try laser whitening on your teeth (I mean the lingual side) and see if it improves anything. Sometimes, the veneers are perfectly fine but the cement used to stick them to the teeth isn't good and becomes yellow. So you might try to solve this problem by going to another dentist, taking the veneers off and recementing them with a better cement.

How often should I apply baking soda to my toothpaste to whiten teeth?

My teeth aren't yellow, but I know they could be whiter. I know you're definitely not supposed to use it everyday because it weakens your enamel. But how often should I sprinkle it onto the top of my toothpaste? Which is how I would like to do it, but if there's another way to make teeth even whiter please share! (:
--------------------
you can sprinkle it on top of toothpaste everyday (worked for me) , but a another better solution is to get a toothpaste from Trader Joes that had baking soda in it already. its not sweet, but its all natural with no sugar and it works even better. This combined with the crest white strips(do every six months) made my teeth shine

How do you whiten teeth in Arcsoft Photostudio?

I just wanted to make my teeth look a bit brighter on one of my school pictures, just to see how I would look?
--------------------
Use the this. If it's like Photoshop, use the blur tool on each of your teach (not all at once). Then use the dodge tool to 'brighten' them. Around the edges of each tooth, use the burn tool to darken the edges. The contrast of the edges and the teeth work well. OR Make a white box on top of each tool, then Smudge it around the tooth. Then blur it, then Burn the edges again.

What is the best way to whiten my teeth?

My teeth are somewhat white, but I have weak enamel so I have noticeable spots on them. What is the safest and best price product to use to whiten them?
--------------------
First you can try household products, I listed them below 1- Mash strawberry and baking soda together. Apply to teeth with a soft toothbrush. Do this about once a week. 2- Baking Soda won't bleach your teeth, but it will help get plaque off and make them shine. Be warned that Baking Soda is an abrasive and if you use it too much, the enamel on your teeth can get damaged. 3-Pour a little bit of hydrogen peroxide on your toothbrush and then put some baking soda on top then just brush your teeth with it. Rinse your mouth when your done. (Note: it tastes really bad and do not swallow!!!) All the above can be used , but it can give some harm to your teeth, so please be careful. What I use and can advise is the free kit that I got perfect results. It may seem as an advertisement but its not, I personally used and I am happy with the results. Here is the website: http://www.shiny-smile-now.com Its worth trying

Which kind of Crest Whitestrips should I buy for my first time ever whitening my teeth?

I'm 18 and I've never had the need to whiten my teeth before but recently noticed they were looking a little dull (probably from drinking more coffee and sweet tea within the last year or two) and I decided to go buy some Crest Whitestrips. When I got to the store though, to my amazement there were quite a few different kinds, so I came home and went to the Crest Whitestrips website to figure out which one I needed to buy for my first time whitening. The site doesn't tell me that though! So please help! Here's the link to the site: http://www.whitestrips.com/
--------------------
The classic work great, they just take longer to work (and taste bad when you take them out). They also cost less, which is a plus. I would recommend switching to a toothpaste for sensitive teeth while you are using the whitening strips. I whitened my teeth and it was painful just to drink water from a drinking fountain because they were so sensitive! (Sensitivity happens with all teeth whitening, and tends to be worse with the faster acting formulas because they are stronger). Sensodyne worked well for me. Also make sure not to leave them on longer then stated - I made the terrible mistake of sleeping in the strips one night - I couldn't use them again for at least a week because my teeth were in so much pain! Hope that helps!

Any advice or tips on getting teeth whitened by a dentist?

I am thinking of getting my teeth bleached by my dentist, does anyone have any tips or advise?
--------------------
I would advise getting your teeth whitened if you really want it. I think it helps with self esteem. I am currently going through the process of having my teeth whitened has well. They are using a process called zoom whitening and it's all done in one afternoon visit. It lasts a lifetime. It is quite expensive ($500.00 probably depending on where you are) and insurance companies will not pay for it. However the end result is well worth the expense. I hope this helps

Teeth not whitening evenly?

What is the best product to whiten teeth?
--------------------
HI, I have always had problems with faint yellow teeth. In fact everyone in my family has this problem. I have tried every product that exists along with frequent visits to dentists. Dentists have always told me that my teeth are good but I was never happy with the color. Using peroxide or baking soda is harmful for teeth in a longer run so I never used it. Trays are always a NO for me because they give lot of irritation and pain. The ONLY thing that has worked for me till date is Dazzle White. I was not sure of using it at the beginning as I did not want to waste more money. Later, after doing some research on the Internet I found out about this company giving free samples. I immediately ordered mine (just paid $1.95 shipping). This is a real good product and has worked for me. I don't work for this company nor am I related to them in any manner. Just trying to help someone who has faced similar problems like me. Thanx BTW the website from where I got my free samples is http://tinyurl.com/freewhiteteeth

Do You Know of Any Other Way How To Make Teeth More Whiter?

Are Whitening toothpaste effective? I just don't find them that effective.. Do you know any way which is real effective for teeth whitening? Thanks so much...
--------------------
If you want super white teeth then you need to have them bleached by your dentist. They use a special paste that you apply for a few hours or more at a time - this is held in place with a specially made mould of your teeth - a bit like a mouth guard. It generally runs at around $400 USD and upwards depending on what country you are in. You can use other over the counter products, but these only seem to lighten your teeth a little.

whitening teeth?

what are good ways to whiten up my teeth without buying those strips you put on your teeth. i brush my teeth at least once a day but my teeth are still yellow. i don't smoke either so that is not the reason for my teeth being this color please help.
--------------------
Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth! For home remedies. Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month. Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening. Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth. Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains. If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here's something for you! Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel (about $18.00) allows you to remove stains while you sleep. The tooth whitening system has a fresh, wintergreen flavor. After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile. You should see results in two days, although there are reports of tooth whitening results in one night More on http://www.myinformationz.info/teethwhit…

What is a natrual way to whiten teeth?

I am addicted to white strips, but recently found out it is not healthy. So, aside from brushing three times a day, flossing i.e... What natrual remedies or recepies could i use to naturally whiten my teeth or to maintain the color? When i was small my mom would make us brush with baking soda...?.... I'm kind of skeptic... I don't remember if i got results or not. Looks didn't really bother me then.
--------------------
First, consider your diet. Soda pop, sugary, colored drinks, coffee, tea, wine, tomato sauce, beet soup are items that will discolor the teeth. Therefore, there is no point in using harsh home type remedies or pharmacy remedies, as long as these are imbibed. The best way, and least abrasive is to have the teeth professionally evaluated and bleached. Too much brushing with paste up at the gum area will erode the teeth. You will want to discuss proper brushing techniques with the dentist. Bottom line, leave this type of work to the professionals. Baking soda is too abrasive and will remove the teeth enamel. This should be discussed with a dentist. At the very least, call his/her office and ask directly.

a natural product for whitening teeth'?

I heard on the john tesh radio show....that with strawberries and something else makes your teeth whiter,i missede the other part,,,,,
--------------------
When you combine strawberries with baking soda and apply it to your teeth it acts as an astringent and removes surface stains on your teeth due to the malic acid. Crush up a strawberry, add a bit of baking soda, apply and leave it on your teeth for a few minutes, then brush it away with a tooth brush. This will naturally whiten your teeth.

How long is it going to take for my teeth to whiten?

So I just started trying to whiten my teeth today. I first floss, then I brush my teeth with a paste made from water and baking soda. I then also brush my teeth with peroxide, then with regular crest white tooth paste. Then I rinse my mouth out with scope. I'm just wondering how long its going to take my teeth to whiten if I do this daily.Thanks in advance.
--------------------
baking soda is not going to whiten your teeth. I mean if there smudge on your teeth that will come off but baking soda wont do it. the reason it does not work is once the stains are inside the pore, they are wedge in and baking soda cant do much. professional whitening works a little different it opens up the pore so that the bleach can travel in "burn" the stain out. professional kits depending come in 1 hour whitening, 3 day whitening and two week whitening.

What are some inexpensive home remidies to whiten teeth?

How can i whiten my teeth from products i can find in my home? I've heard about the baking soda & hydrogen peroxide, but does it really work? will it harm your mouth? thanks:)
--------------------
Use only bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and mix it with your toothpaste. Do this for only 3 days and stop or you'll begin to damage your teeth. Don't drink or eat anything acidic for about 2 hours afterwards. You can repeat the procedure after a week and then give your teeth a break for a month.

is there a whitening product that can be bought at stores that doesnt make my teeth sensitive?

what are the best ones?
--------------------
No. The trick is to use them differently. If you have sensitivity, then cut the time of treatment down by 10 to 15 minutes. Also, sometimes it helps to treat your teeth every 36 hours rather than every 24.

Does anyone know any secret ways to whiten teeth or clear acne?

Some people may have little secrets on how to clear ance or whiten teeth could you share them with me please??

It really depends on the type of skin you have and what is causing your acne breakouts. There are a dozen treatments that promise the world but are really disappointing. Your best bet is to ask your dermatologist as they will know more about your specific condition. I learned a lot about acne and actually found a way to get rid of it quickly from this squidoo lens:

Do teeth whitening strips go old?

I have like, these Crest White Strips that I found the the back of my bathroom closet, and I wanted to use them. I stopped myself when I saw that they went old in 2004. D: They were my mum's a few years back, and she said I could use them because there were still a bunch of strips in there. I understand that they may not be as 'strong' as they would have been back then, like they might not whiten as vividly or something like that, but would it actually be BAD for you if you used 6 year old whitening strips? Thanks xx
--------------------
Crest Whitening Strips have an expiration date that is printed on the package. The Crest Whitening Strips website says that expired strips are still safe to use, but will not whiten teeth as effectively as unexpired strips.

What can i do to whiten teeth?

Hey what type of product can i use to whiten teeth? i heard of thsoe white strips do they work? (mine are on the yellow side i brush every day and use pro enamal toothpaste) but my teeth are still yellow... any suggestions?
--------------------
you can use a whiening toothpaste only once a week(harmful to your enamel when u use it more) the whitestrips do work, but what works better is bleaching your teeth using trays. they tend to be a bit more expensive but are worth the cost. if you go to your dentist they can make you a custom tray that fits your mouth perfectly and can sell you the jelly that will bleach your teeth. you can also get laser treatment done which works great. but no matter what it might be expensive, but worth it. hope that helps

Can you get your teeth whitened with Brite Smile if you have a permanent retainer on bottom teeth?

After my braces came off, my orthodontist placed a permanent retainer in the back of my lower front teeth and was wondering if it's safe to have teeth bleached? I've heard it can be bad to do this and it could mess up the retainer?
--------------------
No one claims there will be a problem. I have searched the internet and the only problems people have is with striping, where the bar across your teeth prevents a strip of your teeth from whitening like the rest, but if I can remember, permanent retainers are only on the inside? This page http://www.whitersmile.com.au/FAQ.html#3 has a question about retainers and all they mention is that their product will mold around the retainer, not that it will effect it. Others have had questions but have not been told to wait to whiten their teeth. Ask your orthodontist if i you still have doubts but if it won't ruin your teeth, it won't ruin the retainer. Crowns and things won't get whiter with a bleach but it won't effect them. From another Yahoo.com Answers post: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?… "My orthodontist told me not to use toothpaste on my retainer as it makes them go all cloudy." That's about all it will do and since you can't see permanent retainers, you shouldn't worry.

Do you think professionally whitening your teeth is gross...?

So I whitened my teeth professionally, instead of white strips. I've heard people say that's gross!? I don't get why, my teeth weren't yellow before though..they were just a darker shade of white.
--------------------
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.

Can anybody suggest a good place in North London to get my teeth professionally cleaned?

I don't want my teeth whitened, i just want somewhere where they will do a good thorough job of cleaning my teeth.
--------------------
Ok you want basically a clean and polish!! I suggest you go to the NHS website and click on dentists!! There it will give you the option to search for dentists in your area!!! Once searched, a list of dentists will come up and will tell you which ones are taking on NHS patients!! Call one of the dentists and arrange an appointment!!! It is probably best to go with an NHS dentist because to go private costs a lot more, and they don't do an any more effective job. At the end of the day a clean and polish is a very basic procedure that all dentists can carry out and thus is ridiculous to pay more for the same job!! By the way there is no shortage of good quality dentists in the London area!!! http://www.nhs.uk/

I have the same issue.... I got this toothpaste from my dentist called Fluoridex, its really good for your teeth and gets them to a better color. I use it both in the morning and at night. Remember to use mouthwash after, also, if mint makes you drool, wash your mouth out between brushing and mouthwash. Wash your mouth out real good, because when I once swallowed my toothpaste(By major accident) I got a stromach ache.... Learn from my mistake.... Best of luck!!

Well a teeth whitening may look good, but did you know teeth whitening can also damage your teeth permanently. I suggeest you brush every night for at least 10-20 min. to get those yellow marks out.

I have a teeth whitening problem!?

Today I got whitening gell from my dentist... I'm using a clear retainer for the treatments. After I put the trays in, my gums started stinging in certain areas. Then I noticed a small white spot on one section of my gums. When the stinging stopped, I put the trays back in but the white never went away. Is this permanent? Or is it just like burning your tounge and will heal soon?
--------------------
It will go away soon. The whitening gel got on your gums (ouch) and bleached them. It doesn't last more than a couple of hours (if that) but be sure that when you apply the gel in the tray next time, you don't put too much because when you press it against your teeth some gel tends to spill out therefore getting onto your gums.

whats the best way to get really white teeth?

I brush my teeth two times a day... Just wondering is anyone knows any home methods available for whitening teeth... I heard baking power :s any ideas?
--------------------
this, i have small tips for you 1. Avoid drinking coffee and red wine. Usually, the second drink that can quickly leave the stain on teeth. 2. Eat vegetables can clean teeth.vegetables appeared to be clean teeth naturally. 3. Note brush your teeth. Brush you can not do "tasks" if the operation has been worn or outdated. You may not include people who can use a tooth brush in a long time, but believe many people are "loyal" to their brush teeth although age has been obsoleted eaten. If you care to brush your teeth, you will certainly understand that the toothbrush may not be able to clean the stain on your teeth if most of the hair brush that has been lost. 4. Strawberry fruit has a natural effect that can whiten teeth because the fruit contains Vitamin C that rate high. If you're eager to drink juice strawberry's, do not dispose of the waste. Take it and scrape pulp in teeth, taken shortly after, gargling. Do regularly to get the maximum results. 5. Skittleur teeth with the routine once every 12 hours is the basic rule that you must do to get the white teeth. This habit can protect teeth from plaque and stain that be naughty. 6. Rub lemon rind in the teeth can also whiten your teeth. Do with the regular results could survive that long. 7. Avoid smoking. Smoking is the fastest way to change the color of teeth yellow. 8. Take advantage of dental floss to clean teeth during the day at least once. Dirt is very easy to slip in during the teeth cleaned and if not, I will become tartar. 9. Use a toothpaste that has the formula to whiten teeth according to doctors advice. 10. Familiarize yourself to visit the dentist at least once a year subscription to get your dental care so that the operation other than the more clean, teeth can become stronger. you can follow this information at http://whitening-tooth.co…

What should I do when my teeth are extra sensitive?

I whitened my teeth with an at-home bleaching kit from the dentist's office and my teeth only felt slightly sensitive while doing it. Then afterwards the pain got progressively worse until it was pretty excruciating, and now its better, but still a nagging pain and sensitivity. This has been going on for HOURS now! I have been using a special sensitivity toothpaste with flouride when I brush, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I also tried tylenol and vicodin which didn't help the pain either. Does anyone know any products or remedies or ANYTHING to help get rid of or prevent tooth sensitivity? I'm supposed to use that whitening kit at least a few times to get desired results, but now I'm dreading ever doing it again after the pain. Is there anything else I can do to combat the sensitivity? Thanks.
--------------------
Sensodyne-F Revitalizing contains fluoride which not only prevents cavities, but also helps strengthen and remineralize tooth enamel. There are several other immediate relief products out on the market. One of them is Orajel, which can numb the area for temporary pain relief. Also, I once tried a product that came with swabs to desensitize your teeth with and it's supposed to keep the pain away for at least a month after only one use. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was called...but it did work. If you go to the store, you'll probably find other stuff like that around the oral care section.

Nah, its not perminant. If you put bleach on your skin, you will get little white dots too. its nothing to be worried about. The peroxide was just killing the bacteria and some of the tissue on your gums. Just leave it alone... It should be gone in an hour or so.

Do you get your teeth whitened before getting braces?

I'm going to the dentist tonight and I need to know if you get your teeth whitened before getting braces
--------------------
NOOOOOO! Please trust me on this one-I'm a Dental Hygienist with Expanded Functions in the Field of Orthodontia. You NEVER bleach your teeth before braces! While your braces are on brush no less than 3x/day (I know it sounds like a lot but it's very easy to get stains on your teeth while in ortho). You should also invest in an electric toothbrush. Sonicare is an amazing brand (expensive but a very worth while investment). Onces your braces come off you can discuss bleaching options with your dentist :) Good Luck!

Can toothpaste actually whiten the teeth?

I recently started using Crest Pearl, and on the cover, it states that it can actually cosmetically whiten teeth within 2 weeks. Is this true?
--------------------
no it wont, it may removed some staining, read the packaging properly and you will find it doesn't actually claim to whiten teeth, probably just make teeth look whiter (by removing staining), you would need a product with hydrogen peroxide in to whiten teeth and it would need to remain in contact with your teeth for a number of hours per day!

Best Product for Teeth Whitening....?

I have a very important party to go to on Saturday. My teeth are yellow-ish. What's a product that will make my teeth white by Saturday? I'm going to Walmart later today to purchase a kit, and I want real opinions, not what the manufacturers say about their own product. Oh, and possibly items less then $25? I know that's kind of impossible though. Thanks In Advance :)
--------------------
I've heard that using Baking Soda does wonders for whitening teeth. I did a little quick search and read that it can make your teeth whiter in just 14 days! (No, I'm not advertising lol) Wet your toothbrush with some water and dip it into baking soda. All of the bristles should be covered so that your toothbrush is white. Brush your teeth for 2 minutes (spitting if necessary) two times a day. Spit out the baking soda and rinse your mouth clean with water. If there is a tingling or burning feeling in your mouth, this is bad. See "Warnings" for what might not be normal. Brushing your teeth twice a day can be monumental for the whitening of teeth even without these tips & tricks - especially with the regular use of dental floss and mouthwash. Tips: After brushing your teeth, brush your tongue with your favorite spice and/or use a fruit. Bad breath is related to teeth only when they house food debris and plaque. The main cause of bad breath is bacteria growing on the gums. An alternative method involves putting baking soda on the toothbrush and wetting it with a little bit of hydrogen peroxide (the cheap stuff one pours on cuts). It really does work! Warnings: Do not use this method too often as the abrasive can permanently damage the enamel of your teeth. There are some special toothpaste brands (often for smokers) which contain much gentler abrasives than baking soda. They can be used daily without any risk for the health of your teeth and help to remove not only tobacco stains but also stains from coffee, tea, and wine. Baking soda can dissolve orthodontic glue. Do not use this method if you have braces or a permanent retainer. Best used only once or twice a month. Don't brush too hard for a longterm as it may damage your enamel (which is called as abrasion),leading to hypersensitivity. Don`t put too much baking soda or it will cause teeth to bleach. Now, there are quite a few warnings, whether or not you want to do this is totally up to you, I'm just here to help :)

How do you prevent / stop tooth sensitivity from whitening?

Over the last year I started drinking tea in the morning. Because of this, I've decided to whiten my teeth with the crest white strips. A friend of mine suggested doing the 14 day one, because its less harsh on your teeth (according to her). I've only been doing it for two days and my teeth are already starting to be sensitive to cold things. Any suggestions on how to prevent/stop the sensitivity? I want to continue using the strips because they seem to be working...
--------------------
6 Ways to eliminate sensitive during teeth whitening at home Sensitivity of the teeth to hot and cold is the most common side effects from teeth whitening at home. The symptoms are temporary and will subside in 1-3 days following termination of use of the whitening products. And You can also follow the ways to reduce or eliminate the sensitivity of the teeth. First of all, Check to make sure you are not overloading the application of bleach. Breaking up the amount of time whitening is done into smaller, longer spaced segments, will alleviate the sensitivity problem. Brush your teeth with Sensodyne toothpaste and use a soft-bristle toothbrush. The sensodyne toothpaste has a high concentration of fluoride and the fluoride will stop the senstivity. Try taking ibuprofen for acute sensitivity. The dentist or the pharmacist can be asked to prescribe a product containing high fluoride to restore the mineral content of the teeth. If the above methods can not prevent your sensitive teeth, stop the whitening for a few days to allow the teeth to get adjusted to the teeth whitening treatment. http://www.teethwhiteningbest.com/teeth-…

Red Seal Smokers toothpaste! It's made in New Zealand so I don't know if you can get it outside of NZ but I've been using it for about 6-8yrs and it's really good and no, I'm not a smoker but I find it really does work plus it tastes pretty good and makes your breath really fresh.

Teeth whitening help?

I got my braces off on september 14 2009...My Orthodontist gave me a bleaching kit 2 use but ive herd that bleaching your teeth isn't good. I only used my kit 2 days after i got my braces off then i quit because i didn't have any time 2 do it...If i use it just a few days from 2day do you think it would hurt my teeth....BTW i felt no sensitivity when i did it back i september

Teeth whitening, have you done it?

Has anyone paid professionally to get this done? Did you see a remarkable difference? Was it worth the money? How many shades whiter do you think you got your teeth and last but not least did it make your teeth sensitive and for how long? I am looking into doing this but wanted to ask some questions first. Thanks Jenn
--------------------
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I had "Zoom" whitening and it ruined my gums..they were black for 3 weeks and now some of my gum tissue is missing! It was a huge difference the first day, but after a few days they seemed to look like they did before the procedure, but they are actually whiter...but at a cost of $500 and future gum surgery...and it HURTS LIKE HELL. Please do your research before you do this, it is generally safe, but anything with gel and a light.....stay away!

Does this Teeth whitening really work?

--------------------
This website is a scam. It pretends that it is giving you a tip, but really they are just trying to make money off of you (they own the websites that they link to). They also own http://ws6news.com. There are multiple signs that they are a scam which include: * They advertise their blog, they could only afford to do that if they were making money off of you. * It is essentially a single page website, who makes a website that is only one page? * The forum is fake (more below). If you look at the source code of the forum, you will see:
The action="#" means that the only action is done through javascript. The "alert('Thanks for your comment! Because of spam, I manually review each comment!');" just brings up the message box with that text. Lastly, "this.reset();" clears the form. The page is just resetting the form without doing anything with it! No one will ever read your comment. Also, looking at the website now, it says: Note: Offer Expires Sunday, September 27, 2009 Which at the time of this post is tomorrow. I bet this date is a rolling expiration date (go there now and see if it says that it has expired).

Do whitening toothpastes damage your teeth?

I mean the normal ones like Colgate and Macleans.
--------------------
Those brands should not cause damage if used in accordance to the instructions. http://www.colgate.co.uk/app/ColgateTota… http://www.macleans.co.uk/products.aspx#… What about whitening toothpastes? There are several whitening toothpastes on the market. Although they do not affect the natural colour of your teeth, they may be effective at removing staining and therefore may improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Whitening toothpaste may also help the effect last, once your teeth have been professionally whitened. We recommend that you look for our accreditation symbol on the packaging of oral care products. This is a guarantee that the claims made about the product have been scientifically and clinically checked by an independent panel of experts.

TEETH WHITENING-- ROOT CANAL PROBLEM!!?

I have two questions: 1) In a few years i'm going to get veneers or crowns on my two front teeth, and since they will be quite white, i want to bleach the other other teeth on occasions so the colour will match. Is this a good idea?... or will it harm those two teeth.. 2) Another thing, due to an accident, I had root canal done on both my front two teeth. One of them chipped almost halfway and the dentist filled it. I do not have crowns in yet, and I know bleach doesnt work on root canaled teeth. But would using bleach affect these teeth NOW? As in make them weaker because theres more chemicals coming in contact with them?
--------------------
ur first question is incomplete 1)why few years 2)why veneers 3)why they will be white they will match the exact color ,shape contour, shade with the adjacent tooth they can do double or more shading of that crown ans of second question . bleach works on rct treated teeth also it is known as inter coronal bleaching. it is very easy. if bleaching is done in proper way then it will never effect ur teeth if any thing u want to know more mail me at drharshgoyal@yahoo.com

Why do the British have yellow teeth?

I was recently in the UK, on vacation. I noticed how yellow/orange most peoples teeth were. Here in the US there are many teeth whitening products and dentists that make teeth whiter. You can even use baking soda to whiten teeth, so why are the Brits so lazy when it comes to making their teeth look healthy. (they may be healthy but yellow doesn;t look too good.)
--------------------
they are not very particular about their teeth.

what is the best way to whiten teeth?

i know you can buy the strips at the store, and i have also heard of usuing peroxide as a mouthwash or brushing with baking soda. so which one of these will work the best when trying to whiten my teeth? and no im not asking which is healthiest, i know non of them probably are that healthy. and i don't have the money to get it professionally done.
--------------------
Baking soda is probably basically abrasive so it removes hard calculus which stains easily. I would do that and then the strips -- assuming that by strips you mean the ones with bleach on them like crest whitestrips.

whitening teeth with baking soda?

if i brush them with baking soda r they gonna be white right after or do i need to do it the night before or sooner than that???
--------------------
Jan is right, baking soda is an abrasive and will wear away the enamel on your teeth quickly. It will make your teeth very sensitve! I noticed at wal-mart tonight they had Equate white strips for $14. They will whiten your teeth in two weeks, safely. I use Crest Vivid White toothpaste. I love it. I used a tube of it and when i went to a different toothpaste, I could tell they were more white when i used the Vivid White and it's only $3. There are a ton of inexpenssive, ADA approved ways to whiten your teeth.

I need help with whitening my teeth Safely!?!? Please :D?

I am a Teenager and I recently stopped brushing my teeth for days at a time. Now I think of it I regret it a lot :S But now I Have started to Brush my teeth 2 times a day. The problem is that they are slightly yellow.... Is there any brand or product I can use which will whiten my teeth without any abrasives or ingredients which can damage my teeth or gums? and also if so, how long roughly would it take? And one last thing, I read About Orbit White Chewing Gum. Apparently it whitens teeth? could i have some information please :P help with any of this would be appreciated. Thank you! :D
--------------------
There aren't any successful whitening treatments which don't harm your teeth in the long run, to my knowledge. The dentist says whitening speeds up the decay process and you're likely to lose your teeth earlier on in life. Have you had a dentist checkup recently? They'll clean and polish your teeth properly and that itself can work wonders. =)

I read in Maxim a while back that you can smash up a strawberry and mix it with baking soda to kinda make a toothpaste and brush it on and leave it on for about 5 minutes, then wash off. I don't know if it really works or how many times you actually have to do it.

What is the best way to whiten teeth?

What is the best way to whiten teeth?
--------------------
Here are eight helpful guidelines for you: 1. Brush your teeth on a regular basis, use the dental floss. This way you will protect the teeth from cavities and plaque, and also such things as tartar. You will not only avoid these problems, but will make your teeth great-looking! 2. Keep away from fluoride, this substance will blemish your teeth color. Fluoride can be in water and in toothpaste, so pay attention to this fact when you choose the suitable product. 3. Keep away from smoking, and drink less tea or coffee. These are coloring drinks, your teeth will lose their whiteness when you drink much of them. 4. There is a number of products, which will cause stains on your teeth, some veggies and fruits also can produce such effect. Nobody urges you to stop eating them, just make sure to brush your teeth later. 5. Do you know about whitening effect of some fruits? This is a well-known thing, but if you are still not aware of it, take into consideration that orange peel can be good for this purpose. If you polish your teeth with this mash, you will see later the difference. It is also possible to make a paste of orange peel and leaves of sweet bay for brushing with this paste. Another good recipe consists of lemon juice and salt. 6. Baking soda is great natural teeth whitening means! Plenty of toothpastes made soda their ingredient because of its efficiency. We do not ask you to purchase paste of this kind. Make a combination of baking soda, salt and vinegar in addition to it and you receive an excellent means to overcome your cosmetic defect. 7. Pay special attention to the choice of mouthwash. The majority of them contains alcohol, others contain chlorhexidine which at times does not let your teeth remain white. 8. There are plenty of products for teeth whitening such as Alta White teeth whitening powder which is great, i've seen some good reviews about this product, they also provide a free trial. noticeably whiter & brighter teeth in only 6 days!

How Can I Whiten My Teeth?

I don't fancy getting expensive treatment at my dentist and yet I've tried so-called whitening toothpaste and it doesn't work! How can I get white teeth. Is the dentist route the only way?
--------------------
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. Our office uses Crest Supreme which are much stronger than what you can buy in a drugstore and don't cost that much more ($60.00 vs $30.00). You can purchase the drugstore version, but if you can do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar or plaque) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). The strips are probably your best low price alternative, much less than in office whitening or custom trays (about $500.00). I am also hearing happy reviews with the Aquafresh whitening trays, unlike the strips they don't have the tendency to slip or move). 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 Hope that helps!

I am told that this solution will help to whiten teeth so I am interested in using it. Thanks for your help.

First of all, please dont. this will only irritate the gums around your teeth. It will not whiten your teeth. You need to use a bleaching gel with hydrogen peroxide in it.

Teeth whitening at home?

I'm talking like baking soda, all those things that you hear about... Do they actually work? How much baking soda, and what should be added to it, for instance?
--------------------
Baking soda is good for your teeth, but kind of a hassle. Add water and brush. But I prefer using whitening mouth wash. It's safe as long as you don't swallow. Just use before you brush. Whitening toothpaste is also a plus. It will whiten slowly but surely. Brush often and well, that naturally whitens all by itself. If you want to talk about the products out on the market, here's my opinion. The Crest whitening stripes are terrible. You are supposed to use them for like, two weeks. I tried and it wore off the enamel on my teeth (natural protection) and laughing hurt my teeth because air hit them and ouch! Don't use them! The things where you put a glower on the product on your teeth works fairly well and doesn't hurt. This site might help: http://www.teethwhiteningreviews.com/ Your best bet though, and it may be more expensive, but well worth it, is to go to your dentist and ask about them whitening your teeth. They will make sure you're safe and would be responsible for most problems if there are any. Good luck!

No its not bad, as long as you don't do it often. Crest white strips work very well, I've never tried them myself, but I heard good things about them. But its recommended you go to the dentist and get them whitened there.

What is the best procedure to whiten teeth?

So I finally quit smoking, been 2 weeks today. But my teeth have taken some damage from smoking all those years. Ive tried the reg crest white strips and they didnt work. I was looking into the White strips prfoessional you get at dental offices. I would just do it it the ol fashion way but dont have the extra 400 to spend. Any tips?
--------------------
I would think that brushing with special toothpaste will not do you much good after smoking for a number of years. The yellowing isn't just stuck on the outside of the teeth. They are actually stained from the years of smoking. Your best bet would be to get the whitening done from your dentist, and then keep it up from there. Did you use the Crest White Strips for long enough? With a lot of staining, it will take a while to see results. Instead of wasting money on home remedies, just bite the bullet and get them whitened at the dentist. $400 seems high though, so shop around.

What is the best and healthiest way to whiten your teeth without hurting your tooth enamel?

I have tried all those tooth pastes that say it makes you teeth whiter but it has not helped at all. I want to bleach my teeth but I heard that is really bad for your teeth. Is there any cheap and healthy way to whiten your teeth without hurting them? Thanks
--------------------
There is no best way to whiten teeth its chemicals your putting on. Use a whitening toothpaste on a daily basis like crest and try the crest white strips they really work but be careful your teeth will hurt in the beginning. If you drink coffee, tea, wine or soda that can stain your teeth so make sure once u whiten your teeth to stay away from those things. If you smoke that definitley stains your teeth. My advice as a dental hygienist try the strips first and if your not happy with the results u can even try the whitening trays from your dentist or zoom which is an hour procedure.
