I have porcelain bonding on six of my teeth that are over 15 years old and have allot of stains. I have not replaced them yet due to the fact that new ones will cost me thousands of dollars. I have been told there is no way to whiten them but today I was at Walgreen's and bought Stain Away Plus denture cleaner thinking I would mix it and use it like a mouthwash (they are crystals you mix with water)- it says it whitens in 5 minutes. My thinking was to hold it in my mouth and spit it out after 5 minutes and maybe it would whiten them since some dentures are made of porcelain. But I wanted to do some research first to make sure it's safe to use that way (in mouth)....... It doesn't list ingredients on the box and I have been unable to find them anywhere. It also doesn't have anything that says not to use in mouth, all it says is "In case of contact with eyes or mouth, flush with water", Can anyone tell me if it's safe to use that way or if it will even work? Thanks!!

That will not work. Porcelain is very color stable. The only way those cleaners work is by knocking off surface stain. They do NOT make porcelain whiter. As for if it is safe...not sure, but I sort of doubt it. Otherwise Listerine would do it. Thanks for the gut splitting laugh by the way!
