I got rid of my braces like three months ago but they kinda left my teeth a bit yellow. So, can i get free teeth whitening by my dentist if i ask him. Plzzzzzzzzz help.

Tooth whitening procedures tend to cost and arm, a leg, and your first born and are generally not covered by insurance whatsoever. To save money, try out some of the new toothpastes out there that have whitening agents in them. I prefer Arm & Hammer or Crest Pro-Health. Arm & Hammer has peroxide in it, so if you choose to use that one, watch out for your clothes and towels, because it will leave bleach spots. Pearl Drops is another good brand, and they have a paste that have stuff in it to polish the surface of your teeth. I had left over cement on my teeth from braces, and that stuff helped to smooth out the surfaces of my teeth. Sometimes even good 'ol everyday baking soda does the trick, and I believe Arm & Hammer has baking soda in their toothpastes. Ask your dentist what he/she would recommend for store bought whitening systems, if you are willing to spend the money. Tooth whitening procedures done in the dentist office turn out results much faster than any at-home kit, but they tend to be much too expensive for us everyday working joes. Do some research on your own, ask people you know. The more informed you are, the better off you will be when it comes time to purchase the system you decide to use. Unfortunately, your dentist will not do any kind of whitening procedure for free, even though your discolorations may have happened because of your braces. You can have successful results with a whitening toothpaste, flossing religiously, and using mouthwash as directed. Not only will your teeth be whiter, they will be MUCH healthier, and in the long run, healthy teeth benefit you all around. Tooth decay can lead to heart disease along with other problems. I wish you the best!
