Hydrogen peroxide for teeth whitening?

I have a friend who swears that her pearly whites are the result of hydrogen peroxide( I have seen her in action,she uses this stuff 3 times a day) isn't hydrogen peroxide bad for your teeth in some way? I have to say her teeth look really really good and she is not the product of good clean living and she smokes. Is it safe to use or rinse with hydrogen peroxide? She swears by it,Is it safe?
--------------------
If you have ever seen pictures of me.. you would think that I use some kind of whitening agent.. but I do not.. I rinse, after brushing with a 1/2 and 1/2 solution of peroxide and water. I also brush my teeth a few times a week with baking soda.. but would not recommend doing baking soda and peroxide at the same time.. you don't want a 'volcano' to come out of your mouth!! LOL

I started whitening my teeth with the new crest 3d strips and...?

I'm getting white squares where my braces used to be! I got them taken off 3 years ago, so I have no idea why this is happening, and I really don't wanna stop using the strips. Like it's just an outline of the square and it's ridiculously white. The rest of my tooth gets whitened, but this is so noticeable. What do I doooo?!
--------------------
stop using the strips. there will still be traces of glue on your teeth. try just getting a scale and polish at your dentist instead

i need some help on teeth whitening?

My mom won't let me whiten my teeth because she said it ruins them but my teeth are embarrassingly yellow and I can't stand it anymore.. Does anyone know a way that works really well without a dentist or spending a lot of money?
--------------------
Do you want to find out how well something works for you and never pay for the trial run of the product? Do you think that a company would give you (free of charge) the initial product to test, if they didn't believe that it would work for you? Do you want to have to wait days to see if something works or not? You can have whiter teeth within minutes! Yes, minutes! Whatever tooth whitening process you choose, make sure it is simple and convenient, because there's hardly anyone out there that will stick with a difficult or inconvenient whitening process. And some of them are very inconvenient, sloppy and nasty tasting I found a whitening process that is as easy as using a magic marker. This is the most convenient way on the market to whiten your teeth. It worked for me very quickly. No fuss, no trays, or messing around...... Oh, the Kardashion Girls also use it!

home teeth whitening kits . Are there selections with home teeth whitening kits? any tricks? how?

Can you find a solution for teeth cleaning? I've seen people in everyday life, not just celebrities that have really good white teeth. Is this because they avoid food staining products like sodas? Any teeth cleaning products I can use that has worked for you?
--------------------
Crest whitestrips are amazing for celebrity teeth white! I know a few people who use them and every one of them (including the smokers and coffee drinkers) have beautiful white teeth. It will take several applications but it works! A few of my friends are also using whitening kits they've ordered online. Between you, me and the internet...their teeth is a lot whiter in a shorter amount of time than the ones using the strips. I'm going to order one after I remove my braces this week. It doesn't hurt to try these celebrity teeth white kits but a few minutes of my time.

Any after effects of teeth whitening?

I'm getting my teeth whitened (professionally, not bleached...not sure what it would be called outer then that lol). Has anyone had this done? What where your side effects if any? And was it a big difference? I have a concert the next day and I'm worried about being able to sing/scream lol, Thanks!
--------------------
O u'll be just fine. I never done it for me but I've done it for most of my patients and they seemed to be just fine. A slight temp sensitivity for a couple of days is pretty much expected but its usually not that bad. For best result though, use a straw for coffee and red wines. It sound weird but coffee and red wines stain ur teeth very easily. Enjoy ur white teeth^_^

what is the best way for teeth whitening?

without any doctors or anything... baking soda? how about those crest whitening strips?? are they any good
--------------------
consulting a dentist is the best way to be able to choose the best, safe and effective teeth whitening system. he may recommend you a good teeth whitener that contains good quality ingredients that will not harm teeth and gums. some teeth whitening kits contain harmful ingredients that can cause gum problems. stained teeth are caused by the foods and drinks that you consume that can possibly discolor teeth like red wine, tea, coffee, colas and chocolates and more. it is best that you refrain from consuming them. if not, then you can use a straw when drinking. proper brushing and flossing will help remove stains after eating. visit http://www.trustedhealthproducts.com for more tips on how to whiten teeth.

whats the best teeth whitening procedure?

whats the best one? how much does it cost? and can i buy a good one online?
--------------------
No one's teeth are naturally white. They are different shades of white so you can never really get 100% white teeth. But there are products which can help you remove stains and give your teeth a cleaner look. The best way is to go to a dentist and pay for a teeth whitening treatment. But that is generally reserved for people who have badly stained teeth or people who have had their braces recently removed. For an average person, there are several solutions available in the market. The most popular are whitening strips. They are popular because they are the easiest to apply. But they may not be the most effective. I tried out strips but they didn't work for me because they kept coming off, and they take way too long to make an affect. I resorted to using baking soda and bleach but it was too painful. The best solution I have come across is the teeth whitening tips. It's the closest thing to what the dentist use. It's a powder you apply on your teeth using tips, which removes stains and such. I used it for a week with good results I saw the ad on CNN. Here's a link to the site http://www.teethwhiten.com/splash.php?ai…

which is the best,proven,effective teeth whitening tools?

Here is some of the list: Teeth Whitening Pen 35 % Carbamide Peroxide Gel,Whitelight,Whitening Tooth Polish or Tooth Teeth Bleaching Whitening Powder i try teeth whitening pen but seems no effect..havent try others stated above..pls share me ur view..i need to purchase any of them soon
--------------------
My mom taught me this 30 years ago. I get tons of compliments on how white my teeth are. It is cheap to, but tastes NASTY. Dip a tooth brush in hydrogen peroxide and then dip the wet brush in baking soda. Brush away. Wet as necessary with hydrogen peroxide. Let the stuff sit in your mouth while you do the other teeth in the back. If there is some really bad staining you can add some salt to the baking powder mix. When I had braces I had brackets glued to my teeth. Of course I drink tea and red wine which stained the glue. 10 minutes of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda turned it totally white. The mixture is drying on the lips, so use lip balm. It can also irritate the gums too but all of the mixtures do. Within a couple hours my mouth felt back to normal. I have never had tooth sensitivity from this mixture.

Does milk really help with whitening your teeth?

I heard that drinking milk can help your teeth to be whiter. Is this true??
--------------------
Milk has calcium which is good for your teeth and bones, but you would have to drink an awful lot to have any real effect. There is simply not enough calcium to do the job. It is a combination of things that gives us our daily value of calcium. It makes our teeth stronger, but not whiter. The dentin in our teeth is what makes them white and once that fades you don't get it back. Teeth whiteners 'bleach' your teeth by removing stains.

Off-the-counter teeth whitening vs whitening by dentist?

Ok so I really want to get my teeth whiter but I don't know if i should go to the dentist and get it done, or just buy a whitening kit from Walgreens or something. Obviously, the dentist will be more expensive so I want to know whether it is worth it. Which one will get my teeth whiter? And also, for those who have actually gotten their teeth whitened, does whitening really make your teeth whiter or is it just a rip off? Thanks.
--------------------
I think whitening teeth really helps boost self confidence and can help you improve your appearance and get the smile you want. There are various ways you can actually get your teeth whitened. Going to the doctor will give you the best results because they give a prolonged and concentrated exposure to peroxide. However they are the most expensive ones and they might run into a couple of hundred bucks. The next option is getting custom fit trays for your teeth from the dentist and fill it up with lower concentrations of peroxide and use it every night. This is not as expensive as the first option. The last option is over the counter options they are easy to use and affordable. Here is an article that i found really helpful!

Teeth Whitening...?

I have braces and can't seem to get my teeth very white even though I brush two times a day and use mouthwash. Any suggestions?
--------------------
i dont think theres an actual possible effective way to get your teeth whiter with your braces on, you cant use whitening strips since the brackets are in the way. either way, its not actually possible. but when you do get your braces off, consider going to see a cosmetic dentist in your area, you can get a take-home bleaching tray with impressions of your teeth, your teeth will begin to be white within 2 weeks, and the cost is from $300-$500 depending on the location. you can expect great results, and i did the same thing after i got my braces off. so itll definetely be satisfying.

teeth whitening...?

hello, I want to make whitening, but i wonder, is it lost of money to do it at dentist or it deserve it? do you think dentist or whitening products? which gives better result ? is it the same ?
--------------------
Whitening is great! In my professional opinion, I would recommend seeing your dentist to have him evaluate which procedure is best for you. Not all patients are good candidates for whitening, certain stains are difficult to whiten, also if you have a lot of crowns or tooth colored fillings on your anterior teeth you might not want to whiten. Only YOUR teeth will change color, so you will end up with darker crowns and fillings when the rest of your teeth lighten. Teeth can only get so white, a lot of which is determined by the color of dentin beneath the tooth enamel. People with very very white teeth usually have veneers. If your teeth are severely discolored you would best benefit from the in office whitening procedures. These procedures are a bit more pricey but lighten the teeth more shades than OTC whitening products. If your teeth are only slightly discolored, products such as crest white strips work great! Don't waste your money on expensive in office procedures if your teeth are already pretty white, they will only change a few shades. In offices procedures such as trays or zoom whitening generally change your teeth 5-8 shades where as OTC strips only change your teeth about 3-4 shades. It's also important to note that you should only get whitening toothpastes that have hydrogen peroxide in them. Many whitening toothpastes are only "whitening" because they have abrasive agents w/in the toothpaste which over time are damaging to enamel. Hope this helps!!

teeth whitening?

I want to get my teeth bleached at the dentist does anyone know in average how much it cost .. thanks you so much your information is really appreciated
--------------------
I used BriteSmile last month for $299, and it got my teeth ten shades whiter, which is a lot. They look really good, it took only a single treatment (about 1+1/2 hour total) and was painless. If you are concerned about discolored teeth, I recommend this.

Teeth Whitening?

Does this remain stains or just cover them up? Is there any way of actually remaining the stains so the teeth are naturally white? Most over-the-counter whiteners just focus of the front teeth. Is there any procedures that do the full mouth? Thanks!
--------------------
I would go with laser teeth whitening!

What is the best teeth whitening toothpaste?

I have somewhat white teeth but they could be better. I want to know what is the best toothpaste that makes your teeth whiter. What I am using now doesn't do much for me. It is " Crest Whitening Expressions". I have been using it for months now and nothing has changed. I brush my teeth twice a day and still, nothing. So what is the best toothpaste for whitening teeth. Also is there anything else I can do to make them whiter. Use mouthwash or what? Thanks.
--------------------
As far as toothpaste I haven't really found any that do anything REALLY noticeable.. I mean, they'll all clean your teeth but nothing compares to the dedicated teeth whiteners. I was a smoker for 20 years and when I finally stopped, I realized just how yellow my teeth were. I tried lots of the whiteners, and found a few that really worked and stuck with them.. I don't want to look like I'm advertising, so I won't say which are the best.. But if you want to know the names of the ones that work let me know and I'll reply. Good luck

Teeth Whitening?

Do you know any home remedies to get teeth white?
--------------------
Hydrogen Peroxide! It's the stuff that comes in a brown bottle and can be bought at any drugstore for under $1! Just take a capful of it and swish it in your mouth for about 10 minutes a day (I do it while I'm in the shower). It will whiten your teeth AND help prevent canker sores and blisters. Also try soaking your toothbrush in a cup of it overnight for even more results.
