Whitening super sensitive teeth?
I have super sensitive teeth. I started using crest white strips and after 2 days my teeth started to hurt every time I ate or drank anything. I've quit using them but I still want whiter teeth. Is there any type of whitening system I can use that won't make my teeth more sensitive?
--------------------
The same thing happened to me, my teeth were so sensitive that I couldn't even sleep because they kept aching, and I couldn't eat or drink anything hot or cold. So now I just use whitening toothpaste once a day and sensitive teeth toothpaste the other time during the day that I brush my teeth.

crest white strips teeth whitening...?
i'm on day two of white strips premium and was just wondering if anyone has had good results after day 7? also, when i'm whitening my teeth i usually end up swallowing some of the gel on the strip. is that harmful? it tastes awful but for some reason i can't avoid it.
--------------------
I don't think they would be legally able to sell anything that is harmful when ingested, spesh when you've no choice but stick it in your mouth. I don't use that brand but I've been whitening my teeth for years and it takes a while to take effect but you'll notice soon. Best Wishes Kez x

Dental Advice: Teeth Whitening?
I would like help of the yahoo answers community but would particularly appreciate some answers from Dental technicians? I have always had yellow teeth; I clean them but have never had white teeth. I enquired about this with my Dentist about having them whitened, and he started giving me some prices…yes they were steep in the region of £700. I have read good reports about Boots Teeth Whitening Programme which is available over the counter. The one report says that the instructions mention that, don't use if you have gum disease, gingivitis. I have also read this for myself as well. And that is the problem my teeth bleed quite bad when I clean them. The top ones are ok at the front but the molars bleed at the back. The bottoms are quite bad. The gums are receding in the inside/back of the bottom teeth; I hasten to say that they are not lose. I want to keep my teeth for as long as possible and don't want to accelerate/make the gums recede any more than what they already are! Can anyone advise of/if this will make my gum disease/gingivitis any worse than what they already are. I really do want to whiten my teeth just a little bit; I don't want a Hollywood smile. Thank you
--------------------
first you should discuss with your dentist the conditions of your teeth. for possible gingivitis or gum disease but you gum wont get worse if you decide to whiten your teeth. my suggestion is that you rinse your mouth with warm water put in a teaspoon of salt and rinse your mouth for a week it will help your gum to heal and stop the bleeding. for the whitening I think you should use the crest whitening strip it has less concentration from the regular gel that dental office use. because if you have receding gum your teeth will be extremely sentitivity using the whitening gel from your dentist or laser.. you should try first with the crest whitening to see if your are going to be able to tolerate the whitening material.

teeth whitening /stains ? help?
I've always had these weird stains on my teeth. the stains are only on like 5 or 6 of my front teeth. i've had them since i was a baby....most of my teeth grew in with the stains on them already. my mom said it had something to do wih me having to take iron supplements or something when i was infant. they aren't like brown stains, like they don't look like smoking stains...they are a whitish yellow and some of them cover almost my whole tooth. some of them just look like a spot or stripe that was painted on . i was just wondering if anyone could give me ideas on how to make them less noticeable or whiten them a bit. i've trip a few store-bought whitening products like crest but they just whiten around the stains, they don't actually get rid of the stains.help???

I can relate to you. I had the same problem all of my life. My parents never thought it was that big of a deal so I had to wait till I was an adult to get it fixed. I was told the same thing about the medication as a child was what caused this. Mine were just the front 2 teeth. I went to my dentist and they whitened them at the office with some kind of laser or something. It did cost some money but it was sooooo worth it! I had it done over 8 years ago and I still have a beautiful white smile! Talk to your dentist and they can help you!

Try a dental practice in Twickenham. A great dentist who does fantastic cosmetic work and is reasonable. I'm not sure of the name of the practice. Maybe Twickenham Dental Care. The dentist's name is Michael Cheong.Know a lot of people that have been really happy with him.

1 method for Teeth Whitening?
I've been a coffee drinker for most of my life. My teeth are pretty yellow but not the worst, I don't want to spend $200 to get my teeth bleached at the dentists, What are my cheapest options for to get my teeth as white as they used to be when i was younger. Thanks!
--------------------
Brushing your teeth after every meal will prevent your teeth from getting any worse. And of course keeping away from coffee, tea and smoking will help too. ;-) The crest whitening strips work pretty good. I notice a difference the first few times I used it, but the more I used them though the less difference I saw. As far as the whitening tooth paste and mouth washes, they don't seem to do anything at all. What worked the best for me was this mail order stuff from teethwhiten.com, it worked really quickly. They had a free sample offer so you can try it out and see how it works for yourself. Click the link below if your interested in getting the free sample:

why do the crest whitening strips make your teeth sensitive?
I have been using them for 3 days now, and my teeth are sore and sensitive feeling. why is that? should i stop using them? what should i do to make them not hurt?
--------------------
You what is funny... I had my strips on this morning and I had to take them off after 5 mintues because it was making my teeth sensitive. The package says its normal but it kind of hurts. Please it doesn't whiten all your teeth, just the front ones.

Teeth Whitening for wedding!!!!!!!!!?
I need an affordable teeth whitening product THAT ACTUAL WORKS!!!!!!! My wedding is in 6 months and I need it urgently……any suggestions??
--------------------
u should know that deciding the methods of whitening depends on how much teeth are discolored & what the cause of discoloration is. u should go for the dentist & he will know the causes & examine ur teeth, then decide to what extent u need whitening & what method of whitening.& if whitening is the decision ,don't worry 6months is good for treatment. BUT NEVER try methods for whitening from ur own , the dentist is the person who decides. & i would like to tell u that there are a lot of ways of treatment for discolored teeth ,starting from very simple way .....to a complicated way. but ur case seems not to be complicated ,because if it had been so ,u would have taken the decision of whitening from a very long time. calm down .....just visit the dentist as soon as possible ....& not to waste time ......to enjoy ur wedding

Is It Normal To Become Nauseous When Using At Home Whitening Strips On Your Teeth?
I'm Thinking I Might Have Swallowed Some Of The Solution From Them And I've Become Really Nauseous Since Doing So.
--------------------
Yes, if you think that you swallowed some of the bleaching solution it can cause some nausea. Just drink a lot of water. The solution is so minimal it usually won't have any major side effects... just be very careful next time. Hope this helps :)

Crest whitening strips are good but they're not available over the counter in the UK as the bleach content is too high to pass through European legislation. I got mine from Ebay.

Teeth Whitening Problem!! PLEASE help?
I used opalescence whitening strips today for the 1st time for like about an hour maybe a little more... and now I have white spots towards the edge of my teeth! :S Is this normal???? Should I continue using this product???? (they were given to me by my dentist)

it common, in fact these bright white streaks are caused by the calcium deposits embedded in the teeth. Don't worried, usually the white streakiness will disappears in a day or two without any treatment.

Is it true teeth whitening only lasts a few months? :|?
I thought it might last for a long long time, like forever.
--------------------
This is a subjective question. First, it depends on the cause of your teeth becoming stained and discolored. If you are used to drinking tea, coffee, wine, etc, then it is likely that the whitening effect would not last long. The consumption of such liquids will cause your teeth to discolor again. Smoking can also contribute to this. In case your teeth are genetically stained, you might need a teeth whitening treatment again after a few years. Normally, teeth whitening done by professionals stays effective for 5 to 7 years. One thing that is good about teeth whitening treatments is that very rarely do people return to their original teeth condition before treatment. Patients who smoke cigarettes or drink heavy quantities of dark, acidic liquids like: coffee, tea, red wine, colas, etc. will have to touch up their teeth more often than people who do not.

teeth whitening products...?
what teeth whitening product works the best that isn't too expensive?
--------------------
There are at home teeth whitening strips, teeth whitening gels, at home whitening, lozenges, laser teeth whitening and in office teeth whitening or you can use grandma's solution of brushing your teeth with baking soda. I've been using NuvoraWhite and its been very effective. What I liked about NuvoraWhite is that it was non-messy and easy to use. No complicated gels, no strips, and no teeth sensitivity; simple lozenges that you pop in when you want a whiter smile. Though I've reduced my intake of tea, I do not forget to have NuvoraWhite whenever I have tea or coffee. Hope it helps!!

How to whiten teeth with clear braces?
White-stripes and all those whitening products can't be used when having braces, so what can I use to whiten teeth with clear braces?

Brush them really good. Then get a tooth pick or something like that to scarpe the areas around the bracket. My dentist gave me a tiny brush for getting the hard to get places you can ask yours. You could also try switching toothpastes I use Aquafresh and I think it works the best at whitening.

Teeth Whitening????????? Yucky Teeth.?
I've been using whitening teeth strips, they've been working to slowly and I'm running out. I cant buy any more because my parents dont like me using them. what can i do? People make fun of my teeth like, "you can get a pound of butter if you scrape your teeth with a knife." IS there a faster way? PLEASE HELP>>>>
--------------------
You aren't supposed to use the strips continuously, so just stop when you finish and start again in like 6 months if you still want to. You're only supposed to go through one box every so often because constantly whitening can cause harm to the enamel on your teeth - it's ok in small doses like a few weeks at a time but not every day for months. Storebought white strips are usually only meant to change the shade of your teeth by a few shades so you won't see a drastic change. If you are looking for something major, talk to your dentist and they can discuss professional whitening treatments with you (start saving up for it if you think this is something you'd want to do). Good luck!

Laser Teeth Whitening: HELP?!?
Do you know or have you ever had your teeth whitened by laser? If so, how much did it cost? How is the procedure done? Did it hurt? How long should it last (as in when would you need to go for whitening again)? Were you satisfied? Thanks!!!
--------------------
laser teeth whitening is nothing but gimmicks. so is those zoom whitening lights. it's more the heat that actives and accelerates the bleaching solution, not the light. You can simply point the chair light in the mouth to raise temperature and achieve the same idea. It's nothing but marketing gimmicks. I cannot cite the paper that did the study on this on top of my head right now, but I remember it was from Journal of American Dental Association, sometime in 2005 or 06. OF COURSE, those dentist who use it is going to say otherwise, because they've spent money on that product. So is the customers that have been through it, because they paid for it too.
