Baking soda teeth whitening help?

Um. Yeah I just started brushing my teeth with baking soda - all ready they feel whiter LOL. I brushed my teeth for 2-3 minutes approx. Now, my teeth aren't THAT sensitive, neither are my gums. But they happen to be OCCASIONALLY. How long should I brush my teeth with baking soda for until they turn white completely? Because all websites are different. Some say once a week, some say once every 2 weeks, some even say 3 times a year, which seems a bit too long. >< And a few say everyday. But I'm guessing all those suggestions depend on the kind of teeth I have. And I just told you XD they're not really sensitive that much. I just want to get the yellowish.. food coloring stains off with baking soda really. How often should I do this for? (:
--------------------
yes my dentist told me to brush my teeth with backing soda with my toothpast for only 1 - 2 times a week and yea it works

--------------------

whitening toothpaste causing sensitivity only on bottom teeth?

I'm using Crest 3D toothpaste (have been for 3-4 days) and only on my bottom teeth am I experiencing some tingling now. Do I just stop use all together or is there something I can do to stop the bottom teeth from being sensitive?
--------------------
"Using whitening gels" like carbamide peroxide gel, can cause sensitivity and yes sometimes whitening tooth pastes as well. It can also be due to hard brushing and receeding gum in combination. And the sensitivity can be upper, lower or both jaws, no different. You just happend to have the lower jaw. The cure can be like. Stop using the tooth paste, brush more gently, use flouride gels and mouth wash, use sensitive reducing toothpastes like "Sensodyne®" or Colgate Sensitive®". If it persists, visit a dentist for help. The sensitivity might remain for a long time and sometimes permanently. That is one the side effects of using whitening gels and tooth pastes.

What is the best way to really whiten teeth without paying too much?

Can you recommend me a cheap tooth whitening system...?
--------------------
First go get your teeth cleaned, then use white strips (you only need to use them 2 a year), then in between white strips and cleanings use a whitening tooth paste, and after you brush use the new listerine whitening rinse, it really works well.

At home teeth whitening?

Without buying a kit, what is the best way to whiten your teeth at home? (Besides the obvious brushing) And how do you do it...Like brushing with baking soda I know, but do you put it right on the toothbrush just with water or do you sprinkle it on your toothpaste? Thank you :D
--------------------
Make a paste with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and brush with it by it self. You might want to brush with regular toothpaste after to get the taste out of your mouth though. Good Luck

Teeth Whitening?

What's a good way you can whiten your teeth in about one day?
--------------------
Other than an in office procedure you wont' get a considerable result in one day....but, overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others. Our office uses the Supreme which are 4 times stronger than what you can get in the store, but the others will work as well but take more time and possibly more than one kit.The results are usually pretty quick, noticeable in the first few days, best in a week or longer.If you can, do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar, plaque, or orthodontic cement) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). All of the methods (strips, trays, custom trays, in office whitening) have the potential to make your teeth temporarily sensitive, but will not harm the enamel. If you get sensitive use the product every other day in conjunction with a sensitive tooth toothpaste. You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again. Good luck! JAMRDH - a dental hygienist

Teeth Whitening?

What is the fastest, safest, and free way to whiten your teeth?
--------------------
The expensive part of the whitening is the trays that the dentist makes for you. You can make your own. I lost mine (don't ask how such a thing happens, but it did) and made my own. I was inspired by my 9 year old who was playing football on the local little league team. You can buy the mouth guards that little league football players use. You can buy them at walmart for a few dollars. Get two, one for top and one for bottom. If you submerge them in boiling water for a few seconds and then put one in and bite down it will leave an exact impression of your teeth. Do this for top and bottom and them trim away some of the excess so that they fit comfortably in your mouth. They only cost about 2 bucks each. Then call local dentists and ask if they sell Zoom gel or other brands of the whitening gels. Most do and they range from $20-$50, depending on the strength of the gel. They will make your teeth gleaming white in about a week. I alternate top one day, bottom next for about a week for about 3 hours at a time. Once your teeth are nice and white, they'll stay that way for a while, depending on how much tea, coffee, soda, etc you drink. Use the gel and trays for touchup when you need it.

teeth whitening?

does anyone know how to whiten teeth cheaply at home? something that works please?
--------------------
Hydrogen peroxide, like the kind you use for disinfectant, swished through your teeth. If you can't stand the taste and the "bubbling", cut it 3-1 with water. Cutting it will however slow down the whitening process. Spit out the excess fluid when you are done swishing, and no more then twice daily.

Teeth Whitening?

Yeah I have braces....and my teeth have gotten tinted over the time...and I was wondering if there was a way to whiten around the braces?
--------------------
not a good idea. because i'm guessing depending on the amount of time you've had your braces on for you don't really remember the shade of your teeth underneath the brackets and what not. and you don't want yellow dots in the middle of your teeth when your braces are removed. so just hang in there till those suckers come off because you'll be so much happier with the way your teeth whiten after they are removed.

Teeth whitening??????

my teeth are really yellow and I have cavities but I am 13 years old I really wanna whiten my teeth but I don't know how. does the dentist do it with salt or how? and could I do it with cavities or I have to remove the cavities first? please help remember 13 years old
--------------------
Buy a Crest Pro Spinbrush. I bought one a week ago for $7.99 [plus tax] and my teeth are about 3 shades whiter by just using the brush and regular toothpaste. The brush has a round brush that spins on top, and a square brush that moves up and down on the bottom. Your teeth will be squeaky clean after you use it, and the stains I had on my teeth are almost gone, and like I said my teeth are about 3 shades whiter in only a week.

Teeth Whitening?

i really want to whiten my teeth but i dont know how. i cant get it done professionaly because i am under 16. are ther any at home ways or products that are safe that can whiten my teeth in under 2 months????
--------------------
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.maximumteethwhitening.com for more tips on how to whiten teeth.

Teeth Whitening?

What are some ways to whiten you teeth at home?
--------------------
Everyone will answer with all of those expensive whitening strips, but at Wal-mart I found a kit that is called 5 min. whitening. It has trays and gel, it works great! and fast! Only about $10. Also floss everyday, brush with a whitening toothpaste and use mouthrinse. That is what I do and I get comments all the time on how white my teeth are....of course I tell them I'm doing nothing specail just brushing...lol

Teeth Whitening with "Fake" Teeth?

Okay, so I bought "Natural White 5 Minute Whitening" today and I wanted to whiten my teeth before prom which is a week away. The problem is ... I have two caps on my teeth (the ones next to my front teeth on either side) and I'm scared that if I whiten my teeth, they won't whiten along with them. Do you know if they will or not?
--------------------
Hello. I work in a dentist office as a dental assistant. It is not recommendedto whiten your teeth if you have caps in the front. Because the caps will not change color, and they will end up appearing dark compared to your natural teeth. You could try to buy a red lipstick with blue undertones, to make your smile appear lighter! Good luck! And have FUN! :)

Which teeth whitening ?

which teeth whitening strips/trays work best? And how much do they cost?
--------------------
CREST WHITE STRIPS!! I was really sceptical to try anything to whiten my teeth and didnt really think anything would actually work. but they did! and I mean they take them to the brightest stages of white! I am a smoker so it is hard to keep mine white but after I used them they were pearly white for a good 2-3 months. So if you dont smoke they would definatley be whiter for longer. I never tried anything else but these work so I am just going to stick with them! the prices varies but the cheapest kit i think is 30 bucks. good luck
