my tongue is extremely sensitive to listerine whitening mouthwash (it leaves the tip numb and it gets sores) and my teeth hurt really bad down to the root with crest white strips. are there any other options?
--------------------
Mmm, doubt it. But hey, who knows? The worst thing that can happen is that your already ridiculously sensitive mouth gets scarred horribly. Obviously, don't do it. You need to see a dentist, these kinds of issues are nowhere near healthy, but they're very likely treatable, if not curable. Best to get alternate option ideas from people with many years of schooling and experience than people online who give it a quick, "Huh, don't see the harm in it," and don't have to deal with potentially serious consequences. Especially over an issue like whitening teeth. Dentists can be expensive, but in this case it sounds more than warranted.

How do you whiten your teeth?
Does Listerine Whitening and Whitening strips actually work? My teeth are never very white, and how do you get them super white?
--------------------
many of the over the counter whitening solutions are pretty good now a days. you won't get the same result as you would at the dentist with Listerine, but they will make an improvement. Usually, the more you spend, the better the product Rembrandt strips and gel work pretty good, but the best is the Aquafresh whitening gels. They cost about $40, but it's less than a $500 dentist treatment. Also, the crest strips and other whitening products are good, but you need to use them every 4-6 months to maintain.

Expired whitening teeth strips?
Hello. Today I was planning on whitening my teeth with some whitening strips that I knew I had. When I found them, I realized they were expired in 04/2009. I know it sounds crazy, but how bad is that? I mean, will it make any effect on my teeth (positive or negative?). The best solution would go to a pharmacy and get a new box BUT they are not easy to find in the country where I live. That's why I'm asking here whether if I should use them or not and what effect will my teeth have. Thanks!
--------------------
try not to use it, because the whitening strips contain of hydrogen pexoride, is a chemical that help to bleaching your teeth.

we are a beauty salon;we want to offer botox and teeth whitening...?
can you recommend a company who are able to come in to our salon in Leeds and offer these services to our clients? we are not qualified ourselves so would like someone to perform the services , and we would take a small percentage
--------------------
You should contact dentists and doctors who are able to administer botox directly and ask them if they are interested. My local beauty salon (in Bristol) has a doctor from Harley Street come down once a month - literally to administer Botox all day - he takes a deposit of £50 for each client which covers his costs if they do not turn up. I believe he takes a one off fee for the use of the room for a day as any costs for work are discussed direclty with him. They also offer a similar service for teeth whitening. So ask around and you should be able to strike a deal. You just need to make it clear that your "providers" are duly qualified to administer their respective treatments to your clients - you want to put the onus on them rather than you for this - they are the ones delivery the treatment. It's a great idea - I had had my lips done (made bigger) but am building up the courage to go for the Botox!

teeth whitening and flossing?
do any of those whitening things really worK???? also does flossing ever do any good i cant tell a difference in the flossing
--------------------
-- Whitening - the Crest White Strips - they work great ! My brother used them, and he use to smoke alot, and his teeth were really stained. But he started using them and you could tell the difference in a week. They're like 20$ for a box. Also, most dentists and orthodontists offer whitening/bleaching, usually around 60$. -- Flossing - flossing is just to get out trapped plaque you don't get when you brush. You can't really tell the difference, but when you floss you are actually removing that plaque. If you don't floss, the plaque will build up and cause stains and damage to your teeth over time.

What is the most effective but not very drastic way to whiten teeth?
what is way to whiten teeth that is extremely effective but is not very drastic where one day they are normal but the next they are sparkling....
--------------------
The most common option used as homemade teeth whitening agent is baking soda, which has a mild bleaching action. Given that it is used in baking, it also implies safety. Baking soda is sprinkled on the toothbrush, and teeth then cleaned using a gentle, circular motion. Care should still be taken though, especially for people with gum sensitivity. Old wives' recipes often state that a paste of baking powder, a little salt, and a few drops of white vinegar, works effectively. Salt, used exactly as baking soda, is also touted as being a good teeth whitener. However, it might just be its osmosis, dehydrating action that makes teeth appear whiter, since dehydrated teeth look whiter. Lemon juice is often used, but it had high acidic levels, so teeth can weaken in the long run. Other natural, fruit options regard rubbing the inside of an orange peel on the teeth. A strawberry cut in half and the inside rubbed on teeth also works. Mashed strawberry can also be applied with a toothbrush. Apple cider vinegar is also said to be effective. Dried orange rind, and walnut bark, is also good. For other effective home teeth whitening solutions, you may wish to read about them here : http://teeth-whitening.my-fashion-house.…

teeth whitening...HELP?
I have been really busy this week so i have not had time to brush my teeth and they got super yellow! so if you could suggest some home treatments or products that work, that would be great. Oh and i am only 10 so please do not suggest anything i should not be using. The reason why the info sounds so awkward is because my keyboard is not working correctly. The reason why this
--------------------
Amazingly it takes more than one week for your teeth to yellow, this probably means your not brushing your teeth properly and you've only realised in the past week, the best thing to do it to get back on track with your brushing. try to avoid D.I.Y whitener kits as this can lead to damage and disaster

HELP!! TEETH WHITENING?
Is teeth whiting bad for ur teeth??
--------------------
It depends what kind of whitening, dental or the whitening strips. Anyways, if you whiten with whitening strips, like crest, your tooth enamel becomes weaker and your teeth become more sensitive, therefore your teeth could look whiter, but they can get weaker. If you buy whitening strips make sure to you follow instruction and don't use them too often. My sister uses them, but I she never complained though, so I guess you're all right as long as you don't use them too often. If you get dental whitening, you shouldn't worry about it, because the dentists know what they're doing. They obviously wouldn't do things that are bad for your teeth. After whitening though, you might feel a slight "burn" at your gums. Just ask a dentist for info about whitening. My advice to you is not to whiten your teeth, just make sure you floss once a day and brush 2 or more times a day, I'm pretty sure that could whiten them a bit. But if this doesn't work, just go to a dentist, or use those whitening strips.. but I'm pretty sure you should ask them first about whether or not you should whiten your teeth.

Teeth whitening help?
I have braces and I was wondering if I started using a whitening mouthwash would part of my mouth be white and the other half off of it be off white after my braces are off?
--------------------
actually i had braces like 10 years ago but i remember the braces being put on when the teeth were clean and so underneath the metal pieces that are glued to the teeth no food or anything is getting in there (usually what makes them yellow-stains). for this reason i think they were white in those spots when i got them off so doing the white around seems okay.

Can brushing with a hydrogen peroxide - baking soda paste really whiten your teeth?
I've heard that brushing with the said mixture can be an effective, not to mention dirt cheap, alternative to whitening your teeth. Has anyone tried this? What kinda of risks are involved in doing this, if any? Should/can it be used daily? Weekly? Of course, this would be used in conjunction to brushing with a regular fluoride based toothpaste, along with mouthwash and flossing. Thanks,
--------------------
I haven't tried that mixture, but I used to brush with peroxide, and it did indeed whiten my teeth. You just have to be careful because it will take the enamel off your teeth. Use it sparingly, and if your teeth get sensitive, stop.

Whitening teeth?
does ur orthodontist whiten your teeth a little when you get your braces off??
--------------------
I don't think so, no. Having a dentist whiten your teeth is usually a separate procedure and can get pretty pricey. Nothing beats getting it done professionally, but if you really want to whiten your teeth, you'd be better off getting an at-home kit like Crest whitestrips, etc. Some home remedies can be effective, but you have to use them often for any real results and they can be very irritating.

whitening teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
i want to whiten my teeth naturally. i dont want to use something that will take the anamal off and cost the big bucks. any natural ways of doing this?
--------------------
No only do whiting stuff take off the Enamel but it also messes up your gums. The best way will to just brush your teeth at least 2 times a day and floss. Flossing isn't very fun but it does what your tooth brush can't. Baking soda helps with whitening

whitening teeth?
what's the best thing I can get at the store to whiten my teeth?
--------------------
If you really want the best, go see your dentist. I would recommend Discus Dental products, because they are the industry leader and have the safest and most advanced products. Everything in the store is just an over the counter knockoff of them anyway. You'll pay more at your dentist, but you'll be getting the best, and your teeth deserve it. DON'T HAVE YOUR MOUTH OPEN ON A TANNING BED! That is the worst advice, because the inside of your mouth should never come in contact with UV rays as it isn't exposed to the sun during normal everyday living. In office chairside bleaching uses a rubber dam and extra thick gauze so the light only hits your teeth and the bleach. Plus, don't confuse in office bleaching (extremely expensive) with take home bleach (less expensive and extremely safe). I have seen people who went to the dentist and the gauze/dam weren't put on correctly and they were burned with purple gums :( DON'T RINSE WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE - Over time you will experience gum sensitivity and tooth sensitivity, hydrogen should ONLY touch the teeth that is why you get custom trays from the dentist. If you expose your teeth to hydrogen peroxide you are asking for tooth pain/gum pain.

Had my teeth laser whitened & i use a lot of whitening products but my teeth are still yellow?!?
had my teeth laser whitened not long ago and after that procedure i use a lot of whitening products & whitening strips to maintain the treatment i had but unfortunatelyy there still yellow. It gets me really down and stressed out iv spend so much money and nothing has worked. I don't drink tea, coffee or smoke, i drink a lot of water, milk and brush after having foods that stain. I've been to the dentist to have them cleaned and well that didn't do a lot. I also floss every other day :)

I wonder if you dentist explained to you the different types of tooth discolorations and the realistic whitening results to be expected for each individual. We are all born with specific color enamel, just like we all have a little different color skin or hair. Some people have very yellow teeth, perhaps they were raised in an area that had well water with a lot of fluoride. Those people usually get a good whitening outcome. Then there are those who where exposed to tetracycline when they were a baby and they have "grey" colored teeth. Unfortunately the grey colored tetracycline stain teeth do not whiten very well and usually require bonding or veneering of the teeth to achieve the desired result.

HELP!!! teeth whitening products?
okay school starts in 13 days and i was wondering which whitening product works the best. last night i just started using listerine whitening mouth rinse, do u think that will work? or do i need to use something else? thnx in advance :)
--------------------
Almost all the whitening products work, but you have to read the fine print. Trident White chewing gum, for example, whitens teeth but you have to chew 2 pieces like 3 times a day for at least 1/2 - 1 month to see the difference of 1 shade. There's plenty of whitening products that work fairly quick, the Crest White Strips line has like 2 products that work in 14 days. 1 very good suggestion is that you use a toothpaste sensitive teeth like Sensodyne, because your teeth WILL be intolerable and combine it with an enamel strenghtnening toothpaste. Be warned though, certain products that use trays or strips work only on your front teeth up to your canines. So if you have a big smile or something, you will probably need to check other options out.

Teeth Whitening help !?
Hello guys is it possible to purchase a device which keeps your mouth open so you can apply the whitening product. I have already tried the mouth piece and i HATE IT ! Thanks !
--------------------
Dentists use retracters so you might be able to ask yours for one or source it from a dental supplier. They are all uncomfortable so dont base your decision on that. You should just use trays that way your mouth doesnt need to be open.
