teeth whitening....??
i want my teeth whitened at the dentist but how old do u have to be and how much does it cost ?? I live in the uk btw
--------------------
i worked at a dentist office for 12yrs and know that it is around 200.00 for one session of the zoom whitening technique. the problem is that your teeth become extremly sensitive for several days and once you do whiten it becomes easier for the teeth to stain afterwards because it takes some of the protective enamel off the tooth surface which exposes the softer and more porous dentin underneath which is more prone to staining. with that being said whitening your teeth is wonderful but takes dedication to keep up the beautiful results. you may want to try crest white strips. they work well but takes longer because the ingredients aren't as strong and it is less expensive. Good luck to ya.

Do Teeth Whitening stripes really work?
You know, those that you can buy at any pharmacy, I've seen them in Wal-Mart too. I was wondering if there's anybody that uses them can you please tell me if they work for you? If so, How much should I expect to pay for them? and What brand is the best? Thanks in advance everyone =D
--------------------
I would stick with Crest WhiteStrips. They're going to give you the best results. The do work, but not as quickly as or as well as something you could get from your dentist. I believe they are approximately $30-50 when you buy them at Walmart or a pharmacy. Some things to keep in mind: Whitestrips are going to work best on someone who has pretty perfectly straight teeth. Because they are not able to get into the contours between your teeth, you'll see less than desirable results if your teeth are crooked or crowded. Also, don't eat/drink anything that could stain your teeth for approx 24-48 hours after bleaching.

what teeth whitening works the best?
i want to buy one of those kits like in walmart or target...and soo on. which one works the best and is a good price?? thank you so much!
--------------------
One popular tooth whitening product that you can use is bleaching solution that contains peroxide for bleaching tooth enamel. The bleaching agent in these products is usually carbamide peroxide, which is available in 10, 16 and 22 percent concentrations. Whiteners that contain peroxide typically come in gel form and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks while others are intended for overnight use for a 1 to 2 weeks period. If you can obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist, he will be able to construct a custom mouth guard to fit your teeth precisely. Currently, the American Dental Association endorses only dentist-dispensed home-use percent carbamide peroxide tray-applied gels. In addition to bleaching solution, whitening strips are increasingly being used as a preferred tooth whitening product. For instance, you are now able to get your hands on a set of Crest Whitestrips Supreme from any convenience store. The flexible, invisible strips are coated with an enamel-safe tooth bleaching gel. To whiten your teeth, you simply place the strips on your teeth and wear them for about 15 to 30 minutes each day. After a period of about 21 days, you should be able to see a significant difference on the brightness of your teeth.

Which teeth whitening system or product?
is most effective that you can buy @ the store? Please give me your personal experiences with using them. THANKS!
--------------------
Here is an important WARNING. I used Listerine Whitening Pre-Brush rinse, completely in accordance with the instructions (rinse full strength for 60 seconds, maximum twice a day, just before brushing). After a couple of weeks, my teeth got a little brighter ... but then ... suddenly a couple of my molars got VERY SENSITIVE to anything cold or sweet. I did a little research, and found out the active ingredient in the rinse (Hydrogen Peroxide) causes this side effect in many people. It is harsh on your tooth enamel and can tweak nerves that lie just under your tooth enamel. I stopped using the product right away, and within a week, the sensitivity luckily went away. I would be very cautious about using any teeth whitening products. Tooth sensitivity and gum damage/irritation are common side effects. Some gum damage is not reversible - scary! BEWARE! DO RESEARCH!

Have you had professional teeth whitening before?
What is your personal experience with it?? Was it well worth it? How long did it last? =D
--------------------
Yup. I got the molds made and the whitener from the dentist's office. Was really nice! It was well worth the money. I'm a smoker and drink coffee and the last time I whitened my teeth was like a year ago, and they are still in awesome shape. Just touch them up once in a while and you're good.

I wouldn't pay for professional teeth whitening after I tried this routine, it's cheap, easy, and works for me without any sensitivity, thin enamel, or blotchiness like teeth whitening can do! 1) I use Crest Extra Whitening tooth paste, it works amazingly! Twice a day, every day. 2) I chew Trident White gum, it tastes really good and helps with the whitening. That's all! It's super easy, really cheap, and it works far better than professional whitening! Give it a try, I recommend it a thousand times!

Gel-less teeth whitening from store?
Is there any teeth whitening system that doesn't require the use of gel? Every product I've tried requires some sort of whitening gel that oozes out of the tray. It'd also be nice if I could buy it from my local grocery store. Thanks!
--------------------
Hi there---truthfully, nothing works as well as the concentrated gel you can get from your dentist, using whitening trays made specifically to fit your teeth and yours alone. If you have a lot of gel oozing from the trays, that is a sign that you are using too much. A little goes a long way! The whitening mouth rinses that are available do not work because the idea is to have the whitening gel on the teeth for a period of about 3 hours per session.

Teeth Whitening.... effects on the enamel?
Crest whitestrips. Are they bad for you? Do you get sensitive teeth after using it? What are some other affordable solutions? Whitening toothpastes?
--------------------
any type of whitening effects the enamel. i tried crest and my teeth started to hurt really bad so when i went to the dentist i asked him to try it using professional solution, well it hurt any less. So i guess whitestrips $20.00 vs professional $100 whitestrips are the way to go cause both options are going to do the same damage to your enamel. When i was using whitening solution the dentist gave me i was also using the toothpaste EnamelOn- its an enamel strengthener toothpaste which helped ease the pain a little. There are other whitening strips out there but ive never tried them. sorry i think whitening toothpastes take too long to see a noticeable difference. thats just my opinion

What is the best tooth whitening system in the drug stores?
I can't really afford to have my teeth whitened by a dentist at this time. So I was going to try one of the over the counter brands....which one do you like?
--------------------
i used the crest whitestrips a few times now and they work great!! you notice it within a week or two of useing them but of corse you have to brush like normal and all of that still. you also will notice your teeth may be sensitive to cold and hot it doesnt stay that way though it will go away. good luck :)

best teeth whitening method?
I want to whiten my teeth at home and I was wondering which brand offers the best method that works and leaves teeth undamaged and noticeably whiter. Please leave the brand and type (tray, strips etc) The reason I want to do it at home is because my dad got his teeth whitened at a dentist and the dentist messed up and his teeth are messed up. Thank you!

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

whitening teeth, and a curry?
hey i have slighty yellow teeth, i'm trying the teethwhite home kit. does anyone know how long it takes for it to actually work? i'm on my 2nd day and no change has happened yet. i've noticed white spots tho on my side teeth, i dont want spots o white on my teeth yi know. Anyways another question i was wondering was do u think having a chinese curry during this teeth whitening treatment thing will reduce my chances of this teeth whitening actually work? Since curries r supposed to stain teeth.
--------------------
Yes u are right. eating curry and stuff that stains your teeth during whitening will work against you. Whitening makes your teeth particularly sensitive to reuptake of stain so avoid coffee tea, curry and anything else that stains your teeth for a few days after using it. many home kits take 2 weeks before you start noticing any difference.

Home remedies for teeth whitening?
I'm really big on teeth and I would like mine to be whiter! I heard baking soda and peroxide works, has anyone ever tried it? Thanks in advance!
--------------------
Peroxide works I use it and my teeth are really white. It's just like going to the dentist and getting your teeth bleached just it doesn't smell as bad. :) But also I asked my dentist about using peroxide to make sure it was safe and make sure it wouldn't damage my teeth or anything and he said that it's fine to use it.

Teeth Grinders? Mouth Guard at Night? Zoom Whitening? Invisalign?
Dentist told me I should sleep with a mouth guard at night to prevent grinding my teeth. ever since he told me this i've been freaking out over it and fear i have actually began to grind my teeth at night. I have a mouh guard, the ones people use during boxing. is this okay? its rather bulky though. but still? do you use anything...else? i'm stressing out. i stress out over my teeth! my college is performing ZOOM Teeth Whitening for $150, by professional dentists. I really want to get Invisalign but it's expensive! But i really think it will help me a lot, to rid minor spacing and help with the teeth grinding problem. help! any words would be great!
--------------------
I paid close to 700 dollars for the Zoom whitening treatment. How are you getting it for 150? Go for it. Also, go to CVS and ask about non-bulky, more streamlined teeth grinding deterrants. Or ask you dentist what to do, braces may help it, i dunno.

Anyone dislike yahoo's "teeth whitening" ads?
Now I was never a big fan of yahoo's Internet ads in the first place, but their latest teeth whitening adds have become a nuisance. I realize I could complain about it on yahoo's suggestion part of the site but I know yahoo's admins won't bother to listen. I would rather not see the before and after shots of teeth while I am browsing and answering questions on this site. Does it bother anyone else?
--------------------
Yes, although I do not exactly like being bombarded with adds in the first place. I do take care of my teeth & I'd rather not see the funkiness of others in the scope of my answering questions. In addition to this, those adds with audio & the ones that take over a portion of screen, then move so it makes it more difficult to close... Really get on my nerves. I'm, going to have to agree with you... On the same token, with-out the adds we'd more than likely have to pay to be on Y!A, but at the same time... It is not likely, anyone of a high authority to make certain changes to the practice of ad's, would give the time of day to adjust..

Are whitening strips bad for your teeth?
I've heard that they can really weaken the enamel and damage your teeth. With less frequent use, would they still break down the enamel on your teeth? Are there any brands that are less harmful than others? Thanks in advance!
--------------------
There have been no studies to support your concerns. There does not seem to be any ill effects from using whitening agents. Good luck

can you mix teeth whitening products?
i used the aquafresh whitening trays now its 2 hours later and i want to use the crest white strips would that harm my teeth or help with whitening
--------------------
It is not recommended, but if your asking if it will cause damage probably not. The bleach they use on the at home kits isn't strong enough even combined to do any real damage. There may be a possibility of having a reaction to mixing the bleaches but i'm not sure of that. But your enamel would be fine to do that. Just don't do it daily for a long period of time!
