help with teeth whitening?

so my teeth are becoming yellow due to my excessive coffee habit, is there any home remedies that are recomended? i dont have money to buy anything to fix it
--------------------
brush your teeth at least twice a day with a mixture of baking soda on a tiny bit of toothpast to make it stick to the brush. Also make sure you have a good fairly new brush that plays a big role

Any experiences with Rio Teeth Whitening Smile Sensation?

It is a magazine promotion and I am not sure if it is worth paying the £40. On the other hand a dentist treatment is at least £300.
--------------------
the dentist treatment is agonising! your teeth will ache for 24 hours after.

Whitening teeth - bleached gums?

I just had my braces taken off two days ago and they gave me a whitening kit. I just put some on my teeth and when i took it off a bit of my gums were bleached. :/ now is this permeant or will it change back to the normal pink colour in a day or so?
--------------------
If your gums appeared white spots or swelling or even bleeding after teeth whitening, that means your gums had been burned temporarily by teeth whitening whitener. It is common and temporary, the white spots on gums will resolve itself within 1 - 2 days after STOP using the whitener. You can daub Vitamin E liquid onto the affected area to encourage speedy healing. The important things to avoid the teeth whitening whitener from inadvertently irritating your gums are : 1. Do not let the teeth whitening bleach run into your gums as far as possible. 2. Rinse with water thorough after teeth whitening. http://www.teethwhiteningbest.com/teeth-…

Teeth whitening....How?

Hey , I want to get my teeth whitened , Im only 16 and my teeth are naturally a kind of cream colour , And I was just wondering is there any were in Ireland that I can get them whitened , I know lots of places that does the bleaching and the laser , but they cant make them whiter than when I was born , so I was wondering is there any were that can , I want them white white , like the one in this link , http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/09… I would show you a pic of mine but they show up white white in Pictures
--------------------
You can't make them whiter than their natural color. Your best option would be veneers, but those are pretty expensive. *I'm in the USA, so I have no idea what it would cost in Ireland. But around here, they are anywhere from $1000.00 & up depending on how many teeth you have done.

About how much does it cost to get your teeth whitened?

About how much does it cost to get your teeth whitened, like the best way a dentist can whiten them?
--------------------
The closest you'll come to dentist quality teeth whitening is by using trays with bleaching gels. Your dentist can provide you with a custom tray and bleaching gel where you do the actually whitening at home. This costs about $150-$600 Over-the-counter and mail order custom trays cost about $10-$150.

cheap teeth whitening ! Some choices for cheap teeth whitening? any help? how?

Ugh, white teeth system. My teeth is kind of average white (not yellow but not celebrity white) but I would like it whiter. Any white teeth system ideas? I know the uses of bicarbonate soda, strawberries or some sort but I'm looking for something faster.
--------------------
For best teeth whitening, 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 so I went back looking for more best teeth whitening answers. 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 a kit I got online, it worked really quickly. They had a free sample offer so you can try it out and see how it works for yourself.

teeth whitening question?

ok, so, to start, i SUCK at brushing my teeth. i do it frequently, but not nearly enough and my teeth are yellow. not a gross yellow, but most definitely not white. ive had braces for 2 years now. i get them off on november 17, and im scared! im worried my mom will have what they call "puzzle pieces", or whiter areas where the braces were and yellowish where i was supposed to brush. i know for a fact i need to whiten them. so, how do i do this? if i whiten them, will the yellowish turn lighter and the place where my braces were turn even brighter? do you suggest a brand to use that works? please and thank you to everyone who answers. i really appreciate it.
--------------------
congrats on the braces - funny, i get them off nov. 17 too! use crest whitening strips. i dunno if theyll help the color, though.

There is an increase in number of people wanting to whiten their teeth. And as an answer to this demand there are several teeth whitening treatments available. For people that cost is not an issue in having a teeth whitening procedure and wants to have immediate results, professional teeth whitening is for you. Because not all people can afford expensive professional office teeth whitening procedure, the trend today is with home teeth whitening treatments. Over the counter products or home teeth whitening kits can be acquired from $30 to a few hundred dollars, however price does not indicate the effectiveness if the product or treatment, its with the active ingredient that it contains. Not all people are aware that teeth whitening may cause tooth sensitivity and allergic reactions. The point here is that whatever teeth whitening option you choose, safety must be considered. If you have a sensitive skin or gums you must consider using products or treatments that uses only natural ingredients for they do not contain harsh chemicals that can irritate your sensitive skin and gums. The best home teeth whitener treatment are the one that is safe, effective and you can afford. Although there are several teeth whitening treatments available that said to be effective natural teeth whitening procedure are much preferred by some patients for they are effective and safe and it has been proven effective for it has been used for centuries already even before teeth whitening treatments and procedures were born in the market. To maintain the whiteness of the teeth practices such as avoiding foods or beverages that causes stains and discoloration should be observed. Such products are coffee, tea and sweets. Baking soda and salt is a best and effective natural teeth whitening solution. Baking soda neutralizes the acids that damages the tooth and it also kills bacterial plaque. Another natural teeth whitening treatment are natural herbs they may not deliver immediate results as chemically based products but their benefits outruns products that are chemically made for they are safe and does not contain harmful ingredients that may cause damage to tooth and gums. Although lemon juice has been proven to be effective in cleaning in teeths but they contain acidic solution that may cause damaging effects to the teeth and gums. What important is whatever method you use to whiten your teeth make sure that it is safe and free from side effects. for more information on teeth whitening you may visit http://www.maximumteethwhitening.com/art…

Is it ok to whiten teeth even if you have buildup?

I have some plaque build up on some of my teeth, but I want to use a home whitening kit. I can't go to the dentist atm, so I'm saving for that, but have an event I would like whiter teeth for. Would this be ok? Or a bad idea?
--------------------
i'd advice you to go to your dentist first and remove all these buildups to achieve perfect results good luck!!!!

Teeth Whitening w/o Pain?

I'd like to whiten my teeth but I've heard the Crest Whitestrips cause extreme tooth sensitivity like putting jumper cables on your teeth while hooked to a battery pain. I have fairly sensitive teeth to begin with, especially cold, not so much hot. I don't know what to use...there's the Whitestrips, the Rembrandt stuff, I think Listerine has some too. Also, what one's whiten best? Thanks for any help.
--------------------
I used Crest Whitestrips a few years ago and they worked really well. I didn't notice them making my teeth any more sensitive than they already were (mine are a little sensitive to cold, but not very). My teeth were white for like a year or so after having used them! It does take some discipline, though. My husband couldn't stand them; he said they gave him the heeby-jeevies. Plus it took too much time & effort to use them. Good luck!

Natural teeth whitening?

Is there a way to naturally whiten your teeth? I've tried crest once and I hated it. Any ideas? Thanks!
--------------------
I've found that baking soda and water helps to whiten your teeth :) When I had my braces, that's what the dentist used to clean my teeth. It feels really fresh and clean afterwards. Also...Colgate Luminous Toothpaste works pretty well. There's plenty of whitening mouthwashes out there...such as Listerene Whitening. If you're looking to invest in a good whitening product, I would suggest Opalescence. It's a tooth whitening gel, and your dentist can make trays for your teeth. It works GREAT!!!!! And its always good for touch-ups if you notice your teeth are getting a little discolored. Just try a few things out and see what works best for you (: If you notice any sensitivity, I would notify your dentist. You want a healthy smile too :) Hope this helped, Best Wishes!

Whitening teeth Q?

4 years ago I fell and broke my 2 front teeth, so the dentist filled my teeth in w/ who knows what. 2 yrs ago i got braces and im getting them off in a month. my teeth are naturally a bit yellow, so if i decided to get my teeth whitened, would my "fake" ones get whitened too?
--------------------
Any good dentist will know exactly what to do for you. They probably will whiten only your natural teeth so that they match your falsies. :-) If you try at home whiten, the strips shouldnt affect your fake teeth so you would get pretty even results.

anyone here ever get laser teeth whitening done?

What's the basic price? Is it quick? Did you get the SUPER white? How long before they start to dullen up again?
--------------------
first of all you should know that it is not lasers. its just some frequency of light spectrum. and remember this fact in dentistry faster procedures are more aggressive and more dangerous so i dont offer you this kind of bleaching . ask your doctor to make you a tray and give you a home bleaching kit. the results are the same . only it takes more time to whiten your teeth. but in some circumstances such as if you are in a hurry(for example its your wedding in a week or...) its possible for you to do that only if all of your teeth and your gum are healthy because office bleaching can cause tooth sensitivity.

Will a teeth whitening procedure last?

So I haven't had the best teeth. Infact, I'm a little embarrassed of them and wish I could improve their colour (they're slightly yellowish... and it turns out that's my "natural" colour and not some stains you can remove with teeth cleaning). My local dentist does teeth bleaching for around $375, but only said that it lasts 6 months to a year. Do these procedures typically last that long? What other alternatives do I have that actually work (like strips, do they make a difference)? I'm kind of desperate at this point, sigh, but don't know if I'm willing to pay so much for such a short-term thing =/ Any help will do.
--------------------
The over the counter bleaching strips do help some people. It may take more than one box to get a "decent" amount of change in your color. I think what the dentist may mean is that you might need a touch-up now and then after you bleach. I'm not sure if he is using an at-home tray system for you or doing the bleaching all in his office. If its an at home tray system, all you need to do is buy extra bleach and wear your trays once a month or so. Most bleaching will last longer than a year, in fact I doubt your enamel color will darken to its original color. If it does it should take longer than a year. We use something in our office called deep bleaching. It is a combination of 2 in office sessions and 1 (2 week) at home bleaching tray session. We have had great success with it and it is supposed to be permanent if followed correctly.

Do teeth whitening products such as crest white strips damage tooth enamel?

Or are there any negative effect of using these product? thanks 4 the help
--------------------
it may damage teeth but there are no long term studies on these products because they have just come out. Teeth are NOT supposed to be white. Teeth are naturally off-white/ ivory colored. So just keep your teeth clean and dont use all of the whitening hype products.

Zoom! teeth whitening?

has anyone ever tryed zoom! teeth whitening? and does it work ?
--------------------
  In recent years tooth whitening has become increasingly popular. As the technology has improved legions of people have descended on cosmetic dental clinics seeking a brilliant white smile like the one they used to have when they were twenty years old. However, cosmetic dental procedures aren't the only method to achieving a whiter smile. Several home teeth whiteners have been introduced in recent years, and while some don't have the same effectiveness as a trip to the dentist there are some teeth whiteners that rival the procedures used in dental clinics at just a fraction of the price. One of the most commonly used and least expensive teeth whiteners are specially formulated teeth whitening toothpastes. These toothpastes contain active ingredients that will slowly whiten your teeth if used over a long period of time. However, in most cases the change is almost imperceptible and the premium you will pay over regular toothpastes over the months will quickly begin to add up. An over the counter home teeth whitening system will actually provide you with much better bang for your buck. Still far cheaper than laser teeth whitening, a home tooth whitener can restore your brilliant smile just as completely, if over a longer time frame than that offered by laser teeth whitening. If money is not an issue, or you are just impatient then laser teeth whitening is certainly an option to consider. You can walk into the dentist's office and be out in around 30 minutes, sporting a luminous smile that will light up the room. There are other home remedies such as lemon juice or baking soda that may produce limited results, but if you want brilliantly white teeth then springing for either a trip to the dentist or a home tooth whitening kit is your best bet.

Does anyone have any tips to whitening my teeth and keeping them white?

any ideas other than these: strips, peroxide, and baking soda, because All of those destroy the enamel of your teeth, Thanks for all the help!
--------------------
Flossing your teeth, and staying away from dark drinks like coffee, and soda. Baking soda and peroxide are both found in toothpase so small amounts is fine.

--------------------
The ONLY over the counter whitening our office recommends is the Crest White Strips. They do work! It may take sometime to work but not to worry you will have a result. Your bottom teeth are perfectly fine in the placement they are in. :) If any sensitivity occurs whiten your teeth every other day instead of every day. If the sensitivity still occurs try brushing with sensitivity toothpaste. :)
