Does listerine whitening really make your teeth WHITE?? did it really work for someone?

i want to make my teeth whiter, they really need to be white or else i will stop laughing, i drank so much coffee last few years , so my teeth turned nasty, i want my teeth to be white again. so i need to kno does Listerine whitening really work? and make your teeth white? if it does then il buy it, because its cheap lol
--------------------
Hi!! Well to be honest those kinds of treatments are not for making but for keeping teeth white. I tell my patients to buy it after whitening their teeth. If you want them to be really white you should consider a professional whitening system, because that will work for sure, plus if you had a lot of coffee they need much more than just a mouthwash.

what is the best way to whiten teeth?

Without going to the dentist for expensive cosmetic procedures, what are the best ways to whiten your teeth?
--------------------
Don't use bleach or bleaching cream! Those things have chlorine in them and are very toxic!! You should use a product that has hydrogen peroxide in it. Don't gargle with just plain hydrogen peroxide. This won't do anything because you won't have it in your mouth for long enough. And you run the risk of swallowing it or using too high of a percentage and burning your mouth. There are tons of teeth whitening products out there that use hydrogen peroxide. Crest Whitestrips are one. Another one that I love and that we recommend from our dental office is the e-Bright Tooth Whitening Accelerator. This nifty little thing uses the same kind of whitening gel as Crest Whitestrips, but it also uses blue LED light to accelerate the process. So it will only take you three, 20 minute sessions to get the same results as you would using Crest Whitestrips twice a day for two weeks. Your other option is to do in-office power whitening. These treatments can be expensive, but they're only about 30-60 minutes long (it varies depending on how strong the gel is) and the results are better than the results that you would get with the home whitening treatments. My personal recommendation is Beyond Power Whitening. (I work for a dental office - so I had to research all of these things before we invested in them). This system is better than the more well-known Zoom one. It's only 30 minutes long and doesn't burn your lips or mouth like the Zoom treatment can. You also have a lower risk of sensitivity from the treatment. We charge $450 dollars for the treatment in our office and everyone is always really happy with the results. My advice: Do your research before you put anything into your mouth! The last thing you want to do is damage your teeth or mouth while trying to whiten your teeth. Good Luck :) Source(s): www.ada.org www.beyonddent.com www.ebright-pro.com www.crestwhitestrips.com

whitening teeth before dental bonding a good idea?

I am going to get my front teeth bonded in about a month due to these bright white stains i have always had on them. However I wanted to whiten my teeth beforehand because I have heard that you cannot whiten bonded teeth. Is this true? and if it is, is it a good idea to whiten my teeth before I have them bonded? and finally what is the best at-home tooth whitener product?
--------------------
Check with your dentist. I would have him/her whiten them because it is much quicker and will give much better results than an at-home whitening kit. You want them their truest color to get a good match with the bonding. For future maintenance of your whitened teeth, ask the dentist which product you can use that will not harm the bonding. Good luck!

How can I whiten my teeth naturally?

Sometimes I laugh because I say to myself I have butter teeth. My teeth are beginning to turn yellow. What remedy do you recommend to whiten teeth? I've heard of baking soda & peroxide? Is it safe? What about goSmile? Do those Crest toothpaste challenges really work and if they do what is the correct number of times I need to brush my teeth a day?
--------------------
Using baking soda acutally works very well. Just wet your tooth brush and scoop it into the baking soda, then brush your teeth. If my teeth are looking yellowy, that's what I do. Most toothpastes only whiten teach minimally, and since baking soda is a concentrated substance, it really does work. I'd recomment brush with baking soda in the morning (arm and hammer works fab) and then regular toothpaste at night. :)

Whitening teeth.?

I have a friend who has really yellow teeth. & she wants to whiten her teeth. But her parents won't pay for the dentist. & she has asked me if I could help her with some solution. & I don't know. Can someone please help!

Most effective professional tooth whitening availiable?

I am going in 2 weeks for my Zoom Whitening and my dentist told me that you don't always get that "Hollywood smile." Does anyone know if there is any professional teeth whitening better than Zoom? Thanx
--------------------
As a dental professional, I can attest to the fact that the ZOOM Whitening system is arguably the best process available at the present time. Results of course, vary... but that's the case with almost everything. The only way to get a true "Hollywood Smile" would be to go with veneers--- but the price is of course considerably more than Zoom. I think you're making a good choice... Good Luck to you!

How can you get whiter teeth fast?

What's a fast-ish (like, less than a few months) and fairly inexpensive way to whiten your teeth without using commercial teeth-whitening products (like those Crest White Strips and stuff like that)? I'd rather keep the enamel I have.
--------------------
Dont put straight peroxide on your teeth, it unstable in its bottled form and damages your enamel. I havnt tried it, but some people swear by brushing their teeth with baking soda.

Is there a quicker, easier and less expensive way to whiten teeth?

Is there anything around the house that could whiten teeth in a short amount of time?? I don't really like to use the teeth whiteners at the store like the trays or the strips and I was just wondering if there is a quicker, easier and less expensive way.

im confused about whitening my teeth with baking soda!?

so i want to whiten my teeth at home and people told me to use baking soda. so do i put backing soda AND toothpaste on my toothbrush when im brushing or ONLY the baking soda?? im so confused
--------------------
Before going to bed use only baking soda to brush your teeth. In the morning you can brush just by your tooth paste.

Question about whitening my teeth?

ok i dont know why but for for some reason my teeth are yellowish......i wash them every day and i have used every tooth paste there is. i want to know if those whitening stripes really work and if they do which brand should i choose.and if they dont what other methods are there to whiten them. thanksfor your help!!
--------------------
I had moderately yellow teeth and I used Crest Whitestripes. It dramatically whitened my teeth. Every once in awhile I whiten again just to keep the results. Also, drinking lots of tea and soda can make your teeth yellow, sometimes just cutting down on those drinks can make your teeth whiter. Good luck!

what is the best, most affordable way to whiten your teeth?

i can't be spending too much on whitening my teeth, but when i get my braces off in a month or two (which is right before i start high school, thank god!) i really want to whiten them. also, it has to be safe. lemme know if you have had any good whitening experiences, and how much whiter did your teeth get? thank you!

the whitening strips.tthey dont work as good as in the tv but they do whiten up your teeth

teeth whitening strips?

what are the best ones to get and show results fast? ive thought about trying the aquafresh whitening trays. has anyone tried those>?
--------------------
I have used just about every OTC teeth whitening product. The strips suck and are annoying. The paint on ones are annoying as well and make you feel dirty. The best one I used (and continue to use) is Rembrant 2 hour tray/gels. If you do it properly and mold the teeth trays it does a fantastic job. However, note that no matter how good your teeth whitening product is...even from a dentist...your teeth will eventually start to yellow with time and you will have to do them again. I do mine every 3 months. Also, I use Rembrant Plus toothpaste all the time. That really helps too...

Whitening teeth. Please help?

I am just wondering if anyone knows any good brands that whiten teeth really well. Thank you.
--------------------
The new Crest Advanced Seal are very good.. there are cheaper ones but they don't stick to your teeth very well. The CAS stay on great and you can drink water easily or talk without risking them coming off. I just started using them- i used crest advanced (not seal) before and they whitened fine but were a pain to keep in place. My teeth went up several shades.

Does hydrogen Peroxide whiten teeth? I have heard it can, but is this safe for your gums and teeth?

I need my teeth whitened by next weekend.If this is not safe nor does it work please suggest what works and is fast and cheap.Under $20 preferably
--------------------
This is very unhealthy. It kills tissue, thats why it bubbles up like that, it likes to kill RBC. Nothing works that fast unless you it's done by a dentist.

If you brush your teeth with whitening toothpaste and Aquafresh at the same time...???????

Will your teeth be extra shiny? ;D xxx

You will have clean teeth.

10 pts - Homemade ways of whitening teeth?

i don't need to see a dentist, but i also don't want to buy products like whitening strips because they can get expensive. any suggestions on what works? thanks :)
--------------------
Here are some home remedies for whiter teeth: Home Remedies In most cases, cheap toothpaste doesn't cut it. An expensive toothpaste is often needed for a brighter smile. Unfortunately, getting your teeth whitened professionally is not an option for everyone. If you want to forego the creams, bleaches, trays, and gels found in drugstores, you can take the natural approach and use any of the following home remedies for whiter teeth that are both cheap and effective. 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. More Options for Whiter Teeth You can combine any of the above ingredients with wood ash, strawberries, hydrogen peroxide or baking soda for some extra whitening power. Always clean the ingredients off of your teeth when you're finished by rinsing and brushing with commercial toothpaste. Remember that teeth naturally have a yellowish tint because of calcium, an essential mineral for strong tooth enamel. Brushing too hard and using lemon juice, an acid, or any form of vitamin C will eat away the surface. Once your tooth enamel is ruined, it's permanent. Your teeth will be considerably weaker and much more prone to cavities and sensitivity. All home remedies should be used in moderation and monitored closely.

Can homemade teeth whitening toothpaste be ...?

harmful to your gums? I read about making a toothpaste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, I've only used it once and I know not to use it more than once a week but does anyone know if it can be harmful? and does anything else work besides the expensive kits?
--------------------
Stores such as Family Dollar sell generic pre brush whitener(works well) most of these products contain peroxide.Certain Toothhpaste contains baking soda and peroxide which my dentist says if safe.
