Will this teeth whitening kit work? , dentist's?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TEETH-WHITENING-KI… just curious as i just brought this item , seems very convincing...any ideas?? thanks :-) xx
--------------------
Well, on the 2nd picture that is up that shows a before and after image, the after image is not real....they have airbrushed the teeth white, so I wouldn't expect a result like that. It's also patent pending which means the product hasn't been aproved yet by medical associations (I think). So just be very careful as there are alot of horror stories about teeth whitening kits.

Teeth whitening with Plus White?

I was told that 'Plus White's Just 5 Minutes' teeth whitening gel is great. Put it in retainer trays, whiten for five minutes for a few days and voila. Any bad reactions to this? Good reviews?
--------------------
I've heard people had great outcomes. Some reaction would be if a person has sensitivity. I think it's working great for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqjPKja8VTk&feature=channel

Zoom whitening at your dental office would work great. It is in house and you'll usually see at least 6 shades difference.

Can u suggest any home remedies for whitening teeth?

Not something like whitening stripes
--------------------
Baking Soda: An old-time favorite, baking soda has many purposes, including tooth whitening. Most dentists agree that it's safe to use and works fairly quickly. You can use it alone on a damp toothbrush or mix it with toothpaste to help neutralize the salty taste. Hydrogen Peroxide: One of the most popular home remedies, peroxide, is cheap and most people have it on hand. Chances are, you will feel some burning in your gums, but you'll be left with clean, whiter teeth. Typically, most people will see results within a couple of weeks but it can happen much sooner. It's also safe to gargle, but don't swallow. Brush your teeth as you normally do, and then swish for about a minute. Follow up by spitting it out and rinsing thoroughly with water. Another way to use it is by dipping a cotton swap in the solution and gently rubbing it into your teeth, front and back. Strawberries: Not many people are aware that strawberries contain natural teeth whitening agents and the seeds work great for cleaning. Since they also contain sugar and acids, it's important to brush immediately afterwards with a fluoride toothpaste. For easy and quick application, you can either rub the strawberry against your teeth, or mash it up and use it like toothpaste. Wood Ash: Strange as it may sound, hard wood ash helps whiten teeth. It contains potassium hydroxide, a compound that will bleach your teeth. The tiny crystals scrape off plague in hard to reach places and will scrub them clean. However, using wood ash often or scrubbing too hard can wear down your tooth enamel, so it's best to avoid using it for long periods of time. To apply it to your teeth, you can put it directly on your toothbrush or mix it with a small amount of toothpaste. Homemade tooth paste: One of the better home recipes for whiter teeth is a paste consisting of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, table salt and a dab of toothpaste. Mix it all together and brush away stains.

How much does tooth whitening cost in a dental clinic?

I want to get my teeth whitened. Tried products from Crest, but the result is dismal. I wonder if anyone can tell me how much it costs to do tooth whitening in a dental clinic? I live in Montreal, Canada, but prices in other North American cities might be useful to me too. Thanks.
--------------------

I'm too nervous/scared to buy deodorant and teeth whitening strips and I'm 13? I'm retarded?

I feel stupid. My mom never buys me deodorant so I always use my moms or my sisters everyday without telling anyone. Also, I really wanted whitening strips..So I knew before I went to the store that I wanted these things, and I was like "okay i'm just being stupid and there's nothing to be shy about".. But when I got there, it's like so different than I imagined. The drugstore had a lot of people in it..I got to the teeth whitening aisle and it's a really small aisle. There were like 8 people in that aisle and you have to press a button and wait for an employee to come and open up the plastic box with a key and get the whitening strips...i went into the aisle and then i went back out because i just couldn't do it..then i went over to the deodorant aisle and got bodywash..but then i just could not get the deodorant. i just got really nervous when i was there. there were just a lot of people passing by and stuff and my dad was right next to me. PLEASE HELP!! I AM RETARDED
--------------------
You could get arm&hammer whitening tooth paste (works really well) and your 13 so it's normal for you to get deoderent because people might make fun of you if you dont wear any lol..or just ask your mom to buy the stuff for you. After awhile you will get over it because I'm 13 too and it's no problem compared to when I have to buy myself tampons :S

Could someone help me here with a teeth whitening question.?

i want to get a whiter smile.. well don't we all, im a guy age of 20 and i smoke yeah i know that's the worse way to turn my teeth yellow and im trying to slow down but its sorta hard.. anyway i was wondering if someone who has used the Crest White strips Pro Effects. if they have seen results or nothing at all. ? it seems kinda sketchy to spend 40$ for 10 days of strips.. that might work. or if someone has had any success with any crest whitening products i would like to hear about it.
--------------------
I drink way too much coffee and started to get stressed out when they weren't as white anymore. I was going to go the dentist to have him do it but it was ridiculously expensive. So I looked for forever and I finally found a kit that's just like the one the dentist uses with the mold and injection. It works amazing and I'm glad I didn't have the dentist do it. I got it on sale too because they were having a trial where you get to try it for the cost of shipping for like 6 bucks. I don't know if it's still on sale but here's the website. http://mywhiterteeth.info

Teeth whitening solution???????

I brush my teeth 3-5 min in the morning and 2 min at night. I use mouthwash and everything, but my teeth still have a yellow tinge. What are some things i can do at home to whiten them. Any products, i don't want to go have them whitened at the dentist. What toothpaste/product do you guys recommend?
--------------------
While whitening toothpastes can make your teeth appear a little lighter, by getting rid of stains, they do not actually bleach your teeth. A whitening toothpaste is simply regular toothpaste that contains chemicals or polishing agents that remove surface stains from teeth. This product does not "bleach" teeth through the use of peroxide. so, if u really whitening, u must use the product with peroxide. there are some products be recommend: 10 Best selling teeth whitening home products in 2010 1. Crest Whitestrips ® Advanced Seal teeth whitening strips 2. Crest Whitestrips Supreme Professional Strength strips 3. Rembrandt ® 2-Hour teeth whitening kit 4.

Homemade recipe for teeth whitening?

Baking Soda? I heard a lot of people say that but I don't know how to use it..like put it on the teeth for 5-10 minutes OR mix it with your toothpaste. Also, what are the other safe homemade recipes for whiter teeth and how long does it take to actually show the results? thank you xx
--------------------
Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide in a small cup and brush on directly. Hydrogen peroxide has been used for teeth whitening by dentists for years. In typical hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening solutions, you'll find a strength of 3% to 10% with varying degrees of effectiveness. In the hydrogen perxoide you buy at Wallmart it will be a 3% solution or less. The baking soda gets rid of stains and the hydrogen peroxide bleaches. And yes, this works, but of course you won't see dramatic results very quickly. Avoid the stawberries or fruit which are highly acidic and strip the enamel. Your dentist wants to charge you $400 for 'laser' whitening, which is not laser whitening but bleaching using a hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide solution which is much stronger - even as high as 30%. This bleaches more effectively and is quicker, but is often the EXACT same active ingredient. You can also buy home trays with gel and apply them yourself for around $40. This is the quickest way.You have to be persistent and the process is fiddly, but if you have patience you can achieve a great result. be aware that the stronger the bleach, the more likely you are to be sensitive to the bleaching action. It can cause pain twitches and even severe gum irritation.

Teeth Whitening?? Age?

I want to get my teeth whitened and I would like to know the minimum age that you can get your teeth whitened. Also how long will it last for?
--------------------
The minimum age for you to get your teeth whitened is 18. But you can get parental consent if you are aged 16-18. The whitening can last up to 2 years, but it varies. Ask your dentist about it if you require more information. Glad to help.

I want to get my teeth whitened (professionally, not a home kit). But I have heard it wears away the emanel and makes your teeth sensitive (mine are already sensitive as it is, and don't want to make it worse) - anyone have it done and know for sure?
--------------------
Laser teeth whitening treatment is the most popular procedure for individuals seeking immediate results to whiten their teeth. The procedure is being done by a professional in an hour and desired results can be seen immediately.

You want to whiten your teeth, however there are issues with the price for the procedures or treatments. There are several alternatives that delivers same results as with a laser treatment at in less cost way. One of your option is to have teeth whitening kits supervised by your dentist or you can have the one that are available over the counter. Other popular methods are by using teeth whitening strips, gels and toothpaste which are use over time can achieve same bright and white teeth results with laser teeth whitening. Whatever alternative option that you will use make sure that it is effective and safe. Settle with products that contains natural but effective ingredients and contains same levels of bleaching strength that your dentist use and they are safe to use especially by individuals with sensitive skin and gums for they do not contain harsh ingredients that may cause irritation. 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.

Is Maximum Teeth Whitening Effective?

have anyone used this product before? i want to know if it is effective since i want to get whiter teeth. it is affordable but i am afraid of the effects.
--------------------
Here is a ballpark cost range for what a dentist might charge for a single professional teeth whitening treatment. In some cases more than one treatment might be needed. $600 to $2000 Some dentists feel that their in-office bleaching treatments should be followed up with the use of an at-home whitener. If so, you can expect that there will be an additional cost for this additional treatment. A patient's costs might lie at the lower end of the price range stated above in those instances where a significant portion of the treatment process is performed by a staff member rather than solely the dentist. As another consideration, those dentists who incorporate an "activation" light or laser into the whitening process will have higher equipment costs than those who don't. These dentists will need to charge a relatively higher fee for their whitening treatments. All whitening products contain peroxide either as carbamide peroxide (CP) or hydrogen peroxide (HP). Peroxide dissolves the organic stains in the tooth to change the color and produce a whitened effect. There are four types of peroxide-containing tooth whitening products available: * In-practice products are applied by a dental professional. These products contain a high percentage of CP or HP and are applied directly to the teeth. Some activated by heat, light, or laser. This may be the product for you if you're in a hurry for whiter teeth and you don't have tooth sensitivity. For very dark-colored teeth, the whitening process can be sped up in two to three hours followed by a take-home product until the desired whiteness is achieved. * A take-home product supervised by a dentist is the most popular whitening method. These products contain a lesser percentage of CP or HP than in-practice products and are worn in a tray overnight or during the day at home. A custom-fitted tray is made to hold the whitening product directly against the teeth while lessening its contact with the gums. Some products have fluoride added to help prevent or treat mild tooth sensitivities. The typical stains of ageing will whiten in seven to fourteen days when the tray is worn overnight. * Over-the-counter (OTC) whitening products contain a small percentage of HP or CP. Caution should be used with these products as many contain an acidic solution that can wear away tooth enamel. OTC products use a bulky, one-size-fits-all tray to hold the product. Usually more product is swallowed than stays in the tray because of the trays poor fit against the teeth. It can take up to six months and the purchase of several kits to get whiter teeth. Flexible strips coated with whitening gel have recently been introduced as an OTC at-home tooth whitening method. The strips are worn on the front teeth and folded over to keep them in place. Results are reported to be noticeable after fourteen days and effective for 6 months. * Over-the-counter whitening toothpastes contain a small percentage of HP, CP, or polishing ingredient. The toothpastes are effective in keeping teeth cleaner and whiter looking but some may be very abrasive. The harsh abrasive will wear away the enamel with repeated use gradually making the teeth look yellow. Whitening toothpastes remove surface stains and prevent new stains from building up. Whitening toothpastes however aren't in contact with the teeth long enough to remove internal stains. Ask your dentist about the safety and cavity protection of specific toothpastes before you buy.

Teeth whitening options ?

I want to whiten my teeth and i bought this cheap kit off ebay, you get a syringe full of gel, and also this mouthpiece and you squirt the gel into the mouthpiece, put it in your mouth and leave for around 15 mins However, the gel always ends up touching my gums and it BURNS like hell. So i dont wanna use this Are there any other kits you can buy that dont involve in burning gums lol ??
--------------------
You might as well save your money. Over the counter teeth whitening systems do nothing. Only professional whitening by a dentist will give you noticeable results. For roughly $300, something like BriteSmile, done by a dentist, will give you perfectly white teeth in about an hour. It will last as long as you don't stain your teeth again with coffee, tea, soda, smoking etc. Better to save up the money you would've spent on worthless home kits and just go to the dentist and get the real thing.

I want to get my teeth whitened but i have a tongue ring.?

Do yuu knoe if the dentist will prefer to take it out because i am not trying to risk it closing. && How long is the process of teeth whitening, thanks.
--------------------
It depends on the dentist... Some of them are uncomfortable doing dental work with a tongue ring in, but this is pretty minor stuff so most dentists will let you keep it in unless its in the way. Even if you do have to take it out it won't be long enough for your tongue to close up. Professional whitening takes a couple of sessions. Good Luck! =)

What is the best/safest home teeth whitening kit that is available in the UK?

I have braces...soon to be removed, next month sometime. Over the 18 months I have had braces my teeth have become a little stained due to the brackets making cleaning a little more difficult. I had all my Ortho treatment in the UK which has cost me nearly £5000.00 in all. Frankly I don't have the money to pay for whitening as well so I am hoping to do it at home and save money but I want something that works!!
--------------------
Yes those dental trips do cost a lot of money, Ive been there and brought the tee-shirt. In the past I've tried laser treatment as well as getting my teeth bleached but boy these treatments were expensive. These professional treatments worked pretty well for a while, but I needed something to keep my teeth nice and white. There are various home whitening kits you can buy from your local Chemist - (like Boots) but to be honest I've never had much success with the ones I tried. Those strips abd tray products just didn't seem to work. You could consider taking up a free trial on a whitening product, that's what I did six months ago. You might want to search around on the net, but if you want to try one I advise you to try Idol White. Idol white I must say was cool and different, the instructions were easy to follow, takes very little time, in fact just a couple of minutes after you've brushed and flossed your teeth, that's it. It's really easy to use and the results, well they might not be quite as quick as some people have claimed, but I must confess I'm really impressed. I was surprised to know that even some dentists are giving it there approval. You can get a free trial now if you fancy giving it a go. Worked pretty good for me my teeth are now about 7 to 8 shades better.
