This actually does not work well, you have to use too often to see minor results, the best is to go to a dentist and get it done in 1 visit.

Teeth Whitening products?

I brush my teeth everyday, but I just can't seem to get them any whiter. What kind of whitening product works the best?
--------------------
I LOVE Crest Night Effects...I didn't have much luck with the strips. I would just get mad at them and pull them off. Crest Night Effects is a teeth whitener that works while you sleep, so it fits conveniently into your schedule. You'll have a whiter smile without giving up valuable time during your busy day. The competitive daytime paint-on teeth whitener is water-soluble so it may dissolve quickly. Normal daytime activities such as eating and drinking — even your own saliva — can wash most of the whitener away in as little as five minutes. So while you're waiting for the ordinary daytime whitener to dry, your already-too-busy schedule has just gotten crazier. Using Crest Night Effects is as easy as getting ready for bed and going to sleep. Just brush your teeth as you normally would. I saw a difference within days....Its a two week thing just like everything else but within 2 weeks your teeth are so white. People were always asking if I got them bleached...or saying that I had the whitest teeth they had seen. Here is some information about them from the site... Crest Night Effects is a teeth whitening system. You'll get a noticeably whiter smile while you sleep over 14 nights.* It even works on tough, everyday stains, including coffee and tobacco. Why is Crest Night Effects so effective at teeth whitening? The secret is our patented LiquidStrip Technology™ coating that stays on your teeth overnight. It whitens teeth at home, while you sleep. The Color of Your Teeth When you look at your teeth, the color you see is more than just the color of the surface. Because the top enamel layer is translucent, the color beneath is also visible. And since the things we eat and drink contain coloring agents that actually soak into our teeth, the layer beneath the surface of the enamel becomes stained, too. Juice, coffee, tar and tobacco for those who smoke, all contribute to making your teeth look yellow and dingy. Teeth Whitening Dilemmas Teeth whitening toothpastes and products only clean the surface of your teeth and don't have any way to actually whiten the stains below the surface of the enamel. Special whitening systems are available to penetrate the enamel — including paint-on systems. Many of these are water-soluble, though, and mostly dissolve away in as little as five minutes when they come into contact with saliva. The Crest Night Effects Difference Crest Night Effects' unique gel forms a LiquidStrip™ coating. The water-resistant coating holds the teeth whitening agent in place, slowly releasing hydrogen peroxide while you sleep. The LiquidStrip coating works to remove stains and loosen stain-causing buildup. In the morning, just brush the LiquidStrip coating and the stains away. After just two nights of using Crest Night Effects, you'll notice a clean, smooth feeling on the surface of your teeth. How to Use Crest Night Effects For the best effect, apply Crest Night Effects immediately before going to sleep. Don't forget to review our important tips for maximum benefit. Do not apply multiple coats of the teeth whitening gel. Reapplication may remove the previous layer. As you brush it on, you may find that Crest Night Effects does not form a complete or even coating on your teeth. This will not affect the whitening result. You will know Crest Night Effects is working because you can feel the LiquidStrip coating on your teeth right after you apply until you brush it away in the morning. You can sip water while wearing Crest Night Effects. We recommend that you do not eat or smoke while Night Effects products are applied to your teeth. You may find that wiping your teeth with a tissue before brushing in the morning will help prevent the LiquidStrip coating from accumulating on your toothbrush. Most people find keeping their mouth open for about 30 seconds helps the LiquidStrip coating set. Good Luck!

teeth whitening tips???

my teeth are white, but i want them to shine!! i need some home remedies (i am already using crest white strips!) to help them brighten! also, are there things that i should stay away from or whitening myths? thanks a million!!
--------------------
The most common option used as homemade teeth whitening agent is baking soda, which has a mild bleaching action. Given that it is used in baking, it also implies safety. Baking soda is sprinkled on the toothbrush, and teeth then cleaned using a gentle, circular motion. Care should still be taken though, especially for people with gum sensitivity. Old wives' recipes often state that a paste of baking powder, a little salt, and a few drops of white vinegar, works effectively. Salt, used exactly as baking soda, is also touted as being a good teeth whitener. However, it might just be its osmosis, dehydrating action that makes teeth appear whiter, since dehydrated teeth look whiter. Lemon juice is often used, but it had high acidic levels, so teeth can weaken in the long run. Other natural, fruit options regard rubbing the inside of an orange peel on the teeth. A strawberry cut in half and the inside rubbed on teeth also works. Mashed strawberry can also be applied with a toothbrush. Apple cider vinegar is also said to be effective. Dried orange rind, and walnut bark, is also good. For other effective home teeth whitening solutions, you may wish to read about them here : http://teeth-whitening.my-fashion-house.…

whitening teeth with hydrogen peroxide & baking soda... so i tried doing it once. it did not make my teeth look whiter. was it because i only did it once? do i have to keep doing it everyday for a certain amout of time? & does it actually work?
--------------------

Teeth whitening with braces?

Well, I'm thirteen, and I have braces. When I didn't have braces, I didn't brush my gums/the very tops of my front teeth. Now the very tops of my front teeth are yellow. I brush them all the time [a few times a day with lots of tooth paste] and I also use whitening mouthwash, but they still won't whiten! How can I get them to be white besides brushing a lot/ODing on mouthwash?
--------------------
I have braces also. You don't want to drastically whiten your teeth because then the parts of your teeth which are covered by the metal things will be a different colour to the rest of your teeth. DON'T brush with lots of toothpaste! don't use more than you need, you only need around a pea size and they sometimes have the amount you need specified on the box. Use a SOFT toothbrush and brush around 2-3 times a day, not drastically more i would say 4x at absoulote most. Brush your teeth for around 3 minutes. I read in a magazine that according to the American Academy of Periodontology, that gum disease, cavities and missing teeth are as good at indicating heart disease as chloesterol levels. So it is very important to look after your teeth. No more than once a week, you GENTLY brush your teeth with a 50/50 mixture of bicarb soda and sea salt. don't SCRUB but be very gentle. if you scrub you will wear away the tooth enamel which will make yellowing of the tooth. also it is very important to floss. do this after every meal, at least once a day. Do not snap the floss on the gum line and use a clean section of floss for every gap you floss. floss around the tooth not straight up & down between teeth. for more infomarion - http://www.natural-homeremedies.com/home… http://www.myhomeremedies.com/topic.cgi?… http://www.safecosmetics.org/ http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com/splash.p…

teeth whitening cost ! Any way to teeth whitening cost? any tips? how?

A friend mentioned about bright teeth. I have pretty white teeth but I would like to know more about bright teeth. How you get ultra white teeth like the celebrities bc no matter how much I brush, they're not getting whiter.
--------------------
I was talking about tooth whitening gel last night. What a coincidence. It's harder to whiten your teeth with regular toothpaste. If you look at the isle in your local store, you'll see they have teeth whitening kits. Those are the ones that work. My friend was able to order free trials online to test them all out to see which one works the best. The problem is, the first one he used worked so well, his teeth couldn't get any whiter to try out the other ones. He got the trial kits below after a few days of researching on tooth whitening gel. Let me know how it works for you.

safe-period for teeth whitening after using crest?

hi, i am using the crest stripes to whiten the teeth. so no coffee or anything that can stain the teeth during the 14-day period. my question is how much longer after the 14-day period is safe to consume those color foods. Thank you.
--------------------
I think that as long as you keep a good dental hygiene, you should be ok. That does not mean you will brush your teeth every cup of coffee, but I would brush no less than 3 times a day and definitely after a stain producing meal (blueberries or stuff like that)

ZOOM teeth whitening Questions?

I need a second opinion on Zoom teeth whitening. Based on what you know about it, do you think it is effective? I have dark yellow stains in between teeth and something else "dysplasia" that my dentist mentioned, I have white spots randomly over more than a few of my teeth. Pretty much, I have different levels on staining on my teeth and wondering if the whitening will even the color out, even if some start out as a darker stain than others. And what's the peoper name for the white spots found on my teeth? Does whitening get that stuff out, since it's NOT really antibiotics/drink/food/smoking stains. Also been reading reviews saying Zoom is not effective for people white white spots. Also my Dentist says there is a "Life time gaurantee". Does that mean free retouching in office when necessary? Also, they will send me home with an at home bleaching kit after the procedure. It'll be $400...let me know your thoughts. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
--------------------
The white stains are just calcium spots. It can be made from many different thing. Either hereditary, after braces, medication that your mom could have taken when she was pregnant, all kinds of different factors. Zoom does work very well. I dont know about the lifetime guarantee, but no you can not get free touch ups. Or I never heard of that. It works best on yellow stained teeth, and you should probably notice about 2 shades whiter depending on how stained they are. The whitening can not get the spots out, but it can dramatically reduce the appearance of it, by blending in the rest of your teeth. and yes you will get custom made bleaching trays to go home with, and that is how you will do your touch ups. i dont know what "dysplasia" is. Maybe it was dysthmia that you heard. That is just a space between your front teeth. Not saying that dysplasia is not anything, but i am just not familiar with the term. I have been doing zoom on my patients for 5 years, and they are always happy with the results.

what is the best kind of whitening stuff for your teeth ?(strips, gels, ect.)?

what brand of whitening stuff actually works cuz i want to whiten my teeth but I dont want to spend money on something that wont work !! sooo... if u b knoin tell me wat u b tinkin =)
--------------------
probably the only 100% thing would be to get ur teeth whitened at a dentist. the whitening strips and stuff you see around in shops these days dont work aye. most of them say you hav to wait 2 weeks to see results.. and by the time the 2 weeks are up, you will hav forgotten wat your teeth looked liked and just assumed they are whiter.

Teeth whitening for sensitive teeth?

My teeth and gums are extremely senstitive. I cannot use the over-the-counter whitening systems as my gums feel like they are on fire and they turn white and puffy. But at the same time, I feel self concious that they are stained. I've heard that Zoom and other whitening systems at the dentists' offices also are tough on sensitive mouths. Any solutions?
--------------------
In our office if a patient experiences sensitivity during the bleaching procedure, we stop the process and use a high concentration of fluoride on the teeth for several days. Most often when the bleaching is resumed, the sensitivity is greatly reduced. See a dentist for further advice and good luck to you.

Looking for teeth whitening trays?

I already have the whitening gel but I am in need of trays and do not want to pay the $300 my dentist is asking for custom trays. Can someone please suggest a tray I can order on line that is comfortable, hits all teeth and holds in place without access saliva build up? Thanks
--------------------
If you don't want the ones from your dentist, you can buy over the counter trays, or you can buy custom trays mail order. You won't be surprised to hear that the over-the-counter types are the cheapest. Aquafresh makes one, for example, although there are others. They will not fit your teeth as well as one from your dentist, but they are better than nothing. You should be able to find them at Walgreens or other large drug stores. If you click on the link below, you will find a coupon you can print out and take to the store.: http://www.aquafresh.com/Savings.aspx There are also store brands, which may be less expensive, even with the coupon. I don't know how they compare with the name brands, however. The next step up are companies that will sell you the putty-like stuff that is used to make the impression for the trays. You then make your own impression and send it back to them. The company then sends you the actual trays by return mail. Altogether, the impression material plus the trays cost about $70, which is a lot less than the dentist would charge, but it is also more work and a lot of mailing back and forth. Still, if you do things just right, you can end up with custom-fit trays. Here is one example: http://www.amazon.com/Whitening-Bleachin… Personally, I decided that it was worth a one-time expense to pay my dentist to do the trays. Now, I will have the trays for the rest of my life, and if I ever need a "refresh," the gel is pretty reasonably priced, either from him or online. But that's just me, and I can see how other people would rather go a less-expensive route. I hope this was a helpful answer. Good luck.

does bleaching/whitening your teeth remove all unwanted spots right away?

i just bleached my teeth for the first time, by putting the gel inside of my trays, and there are several white spots all over my teeth... will it stay like this, blend in, go away ?
--------------------
That depends on if these are your natural teeth or not. Make sure that also before you bleach your teeth that you clean them really well.

has anyone tried crest teeth whitening strips?

if so how were they? Thought with them being a reputable company there's less risk of damage compared to all the unheard ofs on ebay. but i want something effective to whiten my (not very stained) teeth for my wedding. i want a hollywood smile! :-)
--------------------
Yes...and they DON'T work! Hopefully you'll have the money to get them done professionally by a dentist...if someone knows of a product, I'd like to hear about it. I've tried a few other ones but nothing seems to work. I know some medications will stain teeth too but if your a smoker or caffeine drinker, that's bad too. Get them done asap by a dentist.

l have very sensitive teeth but l want to whiten them. any advice? l wont risk buying anything online- no home-use kits. l would like to know if there is any specific treatment by dentist that l can request>?? let me know :) thanks
--------------------
Yes there is. Usually the process is stopped for a week and one or two applications of a very concentrated fluoride solution is applied to the teeth. This usually takes care of the problem. good luck.
