hydrogen peroxide anf teeth whitening?

how would i use it and is it safe. i also have a cut inmy mouth, should i wait? give detail
--------------------
YOUR MOUTH TISSUES HAVE A SPECIAL ENZYME CALLED PEROXIDASE WHICH CAUSES PEROXIDE TO BUBBLE --IF IT DIDN'T BUBBLE IT WOULD KILL YOUR TISSUES. DO NOT SWALLOW PEROXIDE -- YOU WILL THOW UP. YOU CAN SAFELY SWISH WITH PEROXIDE FOR 1 MINUTE, BUT MAKE YOU RINSE WITH FRESH WATER AFTERWARD. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE CUT -- AS A MATTER OFFACT, IT WILL HEAL EVEN FASTER. NEVER USE LEMON JUICE, OR SILICA (FINE SAND) THIS WILL RUIN YOUR TEETH.

Re Teeth whitening?

I have heard this can make the teeth sensitive and weaken the enamel. Has anyone else heard this report? What is good today , will be no good tomorrow.
--------------------
Yes..it does both and if you have a lot of tooth decay the stronger whitenings would be out of the question because your mouth would be in agony from the sensitivity. If you have good teeth you can do the stronger ones..otherwise use the crest strips. This is what my dentist suggested to me because I had lots of cavities.

How to whiten teeth in a month without crest white stripes?

i tried baking soda, my tooth paste isnt workin and i need a way to whiten my teeth for a uncoming wedding...hate when i take pictures my teeth are like weird and stright??? help
--------------------
Many general dentists do the ZOOM whitening in their offices. It takes about an hour and the results are amazing! It is costly, though. Also, you can ask you dentist about professional whitening kits. They work similar to the ones you buy in the store, but they are stronger and faster. I had the ZOOM whitening done a couple of years ago and I was very happy with the results. It was worth the money it cost.

how much is teeth whitening? at the dentist.?

and how does the proceeder work?
--------------------
It usually ranges from $400-$700. They put a napkin thing around your gums so that it doesn't burn your gums...then they put a bleaching paste on your teeth then put a light over your teeth to activate the paste. It usually doesn't take more than an hour.

Noticeably whiter smile. The operative word is noticeably. You will not get the results of a professional whitening session performed at a dentist's office but it will definitely look better. Hope this helps.

Can you get your teeth whitened with Brite Smile if you have a permanent retainer on bottom teeth?

After my braces came off, my orthodontist placed a permanent retainer in the back of my lower front teeth and was wondering if it's safe to have teeth bleached? I've heard it can be bad to do this and it could mess up the retainer?
--------------------
No one claims there will be a problem. I have searched the internet and the only problems people have is with striping, where the bar across your teeth prevents a strip of your teeth from whitening like the rest, but if I can remember, permanent retainers are only on the inside? This page http://www.whitersmile.com.au/FAQ.html#3 has a question about retainers and all they mention is that their product will mold around the retainer, not that it will effect it. Others have had questions but have not been told to wait to whiten their teeth. Ask your orthodontist if i you still have doubts but if it won't ruin your teeth, it won't ruin the retainer. Crowns and things won't get whiter with a bleach but it won't effect them. From another Yahoo.com Answers post: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?… "My orthodontist told me not to use toothpaste on my retainer as it makes them go all cloudy." That's about all it will do and since you can't see permanent retainers, you shouldn't worry.

Do you think professionally whitening your teeth is gross...?

So I whitened my teeth professionally, instead of white strips. I've heard people say that's gross!? I don't get why, my teeth weren't yellow before though..they were just a darker shade of white.
--------------------
Lot of people do face problems with yellow teeth. The reason for yellow teeth can be less calcium, smoking or coffee. Some people face problems like yellow to faint yellow teeth also because of too much brushing or using products which harm teeth. While baking soda or peroxide can make your teeth white but it is not recommended. Dentists world over do not recommend use of such pure form substances on teeth as they harm your teeth in longer run. Not all whitening trays are good, in fact many people have complained about irritation and pain with trays. Lot of people want white teeth so that they can smile big and don't get embarrassed while talking to friends and colleagues. Such people can use teeth whitening pens which are 100% safe for your teeth. The best thing about these products is that you can easily get FREE trial to have white teeth. You may order your free trials and have white teeth. You just have to pay for the shipping and handling. Its always better to try before you buy and I am sure it will work for everyone including you. You can get Free samples online by searching....Here is the link http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oG…

can i safely put tooth whitening gel in my plastic retainer ?

i got a tooth whitening kit online http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Professional-Whitening-Optimized-Formula/dp/B000O3SHF8 ....it came with moldable trays that i dip into boiling water and then mold to my teeth....instead of using these trays can i use my plastic retainer to put the gel in?
--------------------
If the retainer covers the front of your teeth, like Invisalign, then it would work.

How to whiten teeth in a short period of time?

I have 1 week to atleast whiten my teeth a little bit.
--------------------
the cheapest way is to dip your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide, sprinkle baking soda on top and brush away- gently at least 2x a day. Otherwise Crest White Strips or similar can do it in a week. Just read the package. Your dentist can also do it in his/her office in an hour using a gel and special light for about two hundred bucks- depending on where you live.

teeth whitening, how is it? how much does it usually cost? im in GA btw...?

how much does it cost? is it safe? how long does it last? side-effects? recommendations?
--------------------
when i had teeth whitening from my dentist it was like $200ish or so which included the plastic mold for your teeth and 2 boxes of the whitening gel which is much more potent than the gel used in the crest etc white strips and other commercial products. the 2 boxes is usually enough to whiten your teeth alot but the dentist still sells the individual tubes of the gel (4 tubes per box) for $10 each after that. what people normally do is just buy a couple tubes per year to keep their teeth white after the initial whitening treatment from the 8 tubes of gel before. as for safe. why would they offer it if it wasnt safe? the only side affect is if you put too much gel it will be in more contact with your gums and it can make your gums sore. in that case the dentist said just to use it every other day or every 2 days so that your gums dont become sore.

Whitening Teeth?

I always brush my teeth and just got back into the habit of flossing them. Well, I was considering trying Trident gum the one that whitens your teeth? Has anybody tried this gum before?Did your teeth get whiter? Does it remove plaque and coffee stains from your teeth? I have an orthodontist appointment and the doctor told me to be sure to brush my teeth and to floss them before I meet with him? I was just wondering if the gum will help as well as brushing and flossing my teeth? I really want to take care of my teeth.
--------------------
Most whitening gums don't actually whiten your teeth very much. Maybe a little. But, unlike other gums, they won't damage your teeth with sugar. And they won't discolor them with dye. Usually "Whitening Gums" just clean the teeth up a bit and freshen your breath.

Question about Target Brand teeth whitening strips?

so i got these target-brand teeth strips, and i read the instructions and everything, but i got a little confused. it said they dissolve after 10 minutes, but all it does is turns into sticky gel-looking stuff. I left it in for like an hour, and it all disolved completely, and there was nothing left on my teeth. . BUT, reading some questions on here, i saw that many people were asking when they should take it out of their mouth?? does this mean i have to wash my mouth out after it dissolves in 10 minutes or something?? should i not leave it on my teeth for an hour? and also, i went to brush my teeth before putting the strip on tonight and i noticed my teeth hurt a little?
--------------------
The reason you should take them off after the time limit is because they don't work at all past that time. The active ingredient is usually completely used up after that time (although most units I saw last around 20 minutes) Leaving them on for 10 days would be no different than leaving them on for 10 minutes. It would be best to wash your mouth out with water after using them to get the bad taste out of your mouth but you don't have to. It is natural for your teeth to hurt a little after using them because they open up small tubules that are naturally found in your teeth that make them more sensitive to air and pressure. This is natural and should go away within a few days. Discontinue use for a few days if it hurts too bad and then start up again if you wish. Good luck!

Have you tried U Smile teeth whitening system (sold at CVS)?

If so, did it work well?

i have tried just about everything [before i was pregnant], and the BEST thing for me [by far] were the aquafresh white trays, they are so easy because you just throw the whole tray and everything away when you are done! no clean up or slippery plastic strips. heres the website http://www.aquafresh.com/whitetrays/defa…

Teeth yellow again after teeth whitening procedure?

Hi...I recently bleached my teeth (2 months ago) and was satisfied with the immediate result. I didn't drink or eat any colored foods for 24 hours, and avoided them for 3 more days. I do not smoke, and drink coffee maybe twice a week, and with milk.. Thing is, my teeth were yellow again in just a month! And now, after 2 months, they are almost the same as before. Wasn't this supposed to last for longer? I don't understand, I spent 400 dollars on this, and it was a complete waste of money.. I'm thinking of going to the dental office and complaining..
--------------------
when you do the whitening procedure it doesn't mean that the result is permanent after some time it goes back to the natural color of your teeth which is yellowish...you should have to do the procedure again and again every time it becomes yellow again....why didn't you ask your dentist before he starts the procedure? or didn't he explain it to you before he did it?because in my country they will explain everything before doing any procedure.

Beauty Tips Needed: Whitening Teeth, Growing out hair, Eyebrows, etc...?

I have a couple questions, if anyone has any tips then I'd love to know them! 1. What are some easy and healthy ways to whiten teeth without spending a fortune? 2. I want to grow my hair out, any tips on how to keep my hair healthy? I occasionally straighten my hair but I always try to use thermal protectants. 3. Any tips on doing your own eyebrows? (Using Tweezers) 4. Unfortunately, I'm starting to get a bit of darker hair on my upper lip... what do you think the best way to get rid of this would be? 5. My nails are always peeling like in half at the tip of them, anyone know why this happens or what I can do to prevent it? I've noticed it happens when I use nail polish for a while, so its probably that drying my nail out.. but I love wearing nail polish! lol That's about it, Thanks for any advice! =]
--------------------
okay 1) Use a whitening toothpaste. Arm n hammer (I think that's the name) Whitening is cheaper and does the same thing a crest and colgate. 2) To keep hair healthy, don't fry it. And if you straighten it just use a thermal protector like your doing. 3) Eye brows are hard to explain, just follow the Natural shape, or google it for good tips/videos 4) They have upper lip hair bleach kits at shoppers, so i'd try those. That's your best best bet short of waxing (hurts like hell) and plucking... (Hurts more... and it bleeds unless your care full.) 5) It might be your nail polish remover. Try the ones that moisturize your nails, or get a protectent base coat for you nails. and try not to pick at them since it makes them flake more.

a natural product for whitening teeth'?

I heard on the john tesh radio show....that with strawberries and something else makes your teeth whiter,i missede the other part,,,,,
--------------------
When you combine strawberries with baking soda and apply it to your teeth it acts as an astringent and removes surface stains on your teeth due to the malic acid. Crush up a strawberry, add a bit of baking soda, apply and leave it on your teeth for a few minutes, then brush it away with a tooth brush. This will naturally whiten your teeth.
