Question about teeth whitening..?

I recently got crest advanced seal whitestrips. I was going to start using them but I am not home every night to do it so i was wondering if it mattered if i used them the skipped days? It probably wouldnt work right?
--------------------
I use crest professional strips, and even tho i skip many days or even weeks, they still work. ill use them every once in awhile when my teeth look like theyre a bit dull. when i WAS religiously using them, my gums would get very sore and even bleed because of the chemicals, so maybe its better to not use them every day.

Creast Whitening Strips ruined my teeth :( HELP.?

Im 15 and I tryed creast white strips, that are suppose to whiten your teeth. and as the instructions said, to leave them on for 30 minutes, i did. when i took them off, the stained all white patches all over my teeth, and its VERY notice able, i ruined my teeth really badly.. does anyone have tips on how to get my teeth one colour? it looks real bad, and schools starting in 3 weeks, should I consult a dentist?
--------------------
That also happened to me when I tried them. They should go away naturally in a couple days. Don't use the whitestrips for a few days and see if the patches fade. For me they all did except for one small on, but it's not very noticeable anymore. If they don't go away try holding your toothbrush horizontally, dipping the bristles just a little bit into powder baking soda, and brushing your teeth for about one minute with that. Hope it all goes well :)

--------------------
firt of all, im not a dentist. but i think you can get them whitened after you get them regularrly cleaned. i think the dentist will allow. try asking your dentist.. and it depends on what dentist you have too.

whata a cheap very inexpensive BUT effective over the counter tooth whitening?

gel, cream or womething that i can buy at the drug store (beside toothpaste) that can get a great whitening effect?
--------------------
I know you don't want toothpaste, but really, I am the most impressed with Crest Vivid White and Crest Vivid White Night toothpastes. The gels and strips, etc. didn't really do anything for me.

Zoom teeth whitening?

should i get it done? im 15 years old and have really low pain tolerance. lots of things hurt me. but i've just gotten my braces off and the whole orthodontist thing wasn't that bad soo.. i guess im asking does it hurt 4 everyone? think it will hurt me?
--------------------
Zoom teeth whitening doesn't hurt at all but it is very expensive. Also, depending on what you eat and drink, the staining can return very quickly and you will have to start all over again. I would suggest you try Crest White Strips first. They are relatively inexpensive and they also don't hurt at all. I hope this helps.

teeth whitening help?!

i was reading one of the answers to a question, and it said white acrylic paint will work on your teeth. is that true? or will it harm me
--------------------
Uhm.. Just buy some Crest whitening strips. It's not too pricey and you'll avoid the paint. I would never use that on my teeth, it doesn't sound safe nor hygenic and it's probably only temporary.

how many times a day do you use baking soda to whiten teeth?

I wanted to try using baking soda to whiten my teeth, but how many times a day should I use it?
--------------------
My dentist told me that you shouldn't use baking soda more than once a week because it is abrasive to the teeth and you are gradually wearing the enamel away. You'd be better using a peroxide based bleaching kit.

Is there a natural way to whiten teeth?

I'd like to have whiter teeth, but I don't have the money for over-the-counter products. (and I heard they don't work) Is there a fruit or some kind of food that will whiten teeth naturally?
--------------------
Strawberries, apples and carrots all have great teeth whitening properties. I attached an article from ehow that explains how to include them in your routine. Good luck and cerely is a great natural floss so include that in your diet as well.

I want to get my teeth whitened, what does it feel like?

I want/need to get my teeth whitened, but I'm scared abit, what do they do, do you put anything in my mouth, does it feel sensitive? I'm getting it done at the dentist as it's better that way, so please help! Thankz :-)
--------------------
The actual procedure after checking if your teeth have no cavities and plaque build-up goes like this. First they brush your teeth with a prophylactic paste to clean it, wash it off and dry your teeth and gums. They then place a cheek retractor so that your lips don't touch your teeth and gums. A gum barrier is placed to protect your gums from the whitening solution. If it touches your gums, it will sting and turn white. It turning white is temporary. Once your teeth are properly isolated, they mix the solution then place it on your teeth. Depending on the kit they use, they will use a light machine or simply just place the mixed solution on your teeth. After they simply just suck out the solution, then wash your teeth and pull out the gum barrier. The entire procedure should last about an hour to two hours. Discomfort can be from your mouth being open during that time and you can't really move alot. So you have to be patient. Some patients feel sensitivity during the whitening process but it is bearable. You can take a pain reliever before the procedure. Patients usually feel sensitivty one to two days after and can't eat anything that can stain their teeth like red wine, tomato based pasta sauces, etc.. You can check online reviews on the kit of your Dentist if you know what they are using.

any miracles for whitening teeth?

I have been using every brand of teeth whitener the stores have for years..it helps my teeth stay there whitest but I want to know if anyone has any tricks that I can do at home with out buying products..I care about my teeth because the has been tooth loss in my family and so far mine are o.k..my teeth show quite a bit when I smile so I like for them to look there best
--------------------
my father's a dentist, and to be quite honest the only answer is to brush and floss regularly. if you really want your teeth to look their whitest, go to your local drug store and find the teeth whitening sugar free gum. by using all of those products, you may be getting a whiter shine fo your teeth but you're also damaging them. the chemicals used in those tooth whiteners also weaken your teeth, perhaps causing you to lose your teeth sooner than others. the best thing to do is buy the gum, brush your teeth twice a day, floss whenever you can (dont go too hard on the gums!) and in a few days (3-7) your teeth will be at its best state.

what's the best teeth whitening remedie for at home?

wih-out any wierd ingredient's..
--------------------
it is better to use natural options! for example this product - I do not know if any pharmacies carry it but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and if you want you can read more about the product here http://www.teethwhiten.com/splash.php?ai… before I had no idea that it is possible to whiten my teeth without surgically bleaching them. I tried this product for a few days and they got whiter & brighter so quick that I was shocked. The best thing about this teeth whitening product is that its so easy to use. It only takes me a few minutes twice a day for a few days and then there white for months. I suggest to try this product because at this moment they have Risk Free Trial - so they send you sample for free and you don't have to buy it!

i need to kow about teeth whitening?

ok is there a wAY TO MAKE YOUR teeth whiter at home
--------------------
Hi, 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. BTW the website where you can get such free samples is http://www.freeteethwhiteningsamples.com… - Its the first top product listed there. I am not promoting the website nor am I associated with it in any manner. Just trying to help someone who is worried about bad/yellow teeth. Hope this helps. Thanx :-)

Teeth whitening gel?????

Can i find Plus 5 minute speed whitening gel at walmart????? Please help:D
--------------------
HI, I have always had problems with faint yellow teeth. In fact everyone in my family has this problem. I have tried every product that exists along with frequent visits to dentists. Dentists have always told me that my teeth are good but I was never happy with the color. Using peroxide or baking soda is harmful for teeth in a longer run so I never used it. Trays are always a NO for me because they give lot of irritation and pain. The ONLY thing that has worked for me till date is Dazzle White. I was not sure of using it at the beginning as I did not want to waste more money. Later, after doing some research on the Internet I found out about this company giving free samples. I immediately ordered mine (just paid $1.95 shipping). This is a real good product and has worked for me. I don't work for this company nor am I related to them in any manner. Just trying to help someone who has faced similar problems like me. Thanx BTW the website from where I got my free samples is http://tinyurl.com/freewhiteteeth

whitening teeth...........?

what can i do to get whiter teeth quickly..besides paying a fortune to get it whitened by dentists. i tried the whole baking soda & paroxide nd it didnt really help much? help please:( my prom is coming upp ..<33 i want whiter teeeeth..
--------------------
There are several types of products available for use at home. Some of these tooth whitening products can be easily purchased off the shelves of pharmacy while others are dispensed by your dentist. One popular tooth whitening product that you can use is bleaching solution that contains peroxide for bleaching tooth enamel. The bleaching agent in these products is usually carbamide peroxide, which is available in 10, 16 and 22 percent concentrations. Whiteners that contain peroxide typically come in gel form and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks while others are intended for overnight use for a 1 to 2 weeks period. If you can obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist, he will be able to construct a custom mouth guard to fit your teeth precisely. Currently, the American Dental Association endorses only dentist-dispensed home-use percent carbamide peroxide tray-applied gels. In addition to bleaching solution, whitening strips are increasingly being used as a preferred tooth whitening product. For instance, you are now able to get your hands on a set of Crest Whitestrips Supreme from any convenience store. The flexible, invisible strips are coated with an enamel-safe tooth bleaching gel. To whiten your teeth, you simply place the strips on your teeth and wear them for about 15 to 30 minutes each day. After a period of about 21 days, you should be able to see a significant difference on the brightness of your teeth.

Whitening teeth?!?!?!?!?!?

How much does it cost to have your dentist whiten your teeth??? how often should you do it???
--------------------
You should just get some crest white strips. It is cheaper and less time consuming than going to the dentist. I used one box of Crest white strips 3 years ago and my teeth are still white from the same box!

getting your teeth whitened at a kiosks? i need ur opinions?

im planning on getting my teeth whitened. but i need your opinion. at this shopping mall, there is professional teeth whitening kiosk and im not sure if i should do it there. they told me it takes 15 min to make my teeth white and cost is $150. and they told me that it lightens teeth 2-4 shades (what does this mean 2-4 shades? )
--------------------
The teeth have different shades, primarily A, B, C and D, depending on the white, yellow and grayish hue. Also, there is 1 - 4 degrees of shades in each color. So, you can have A1 through A4 degrees of shades in Shade A and so on and so forth. C is for grayish teeth, etc. The price sounds reasonable. The only thing to worry about would be the degree of sensitivity experienced later. The following article will help : http://www.associatedcontent.com/article…

How much is it to have teeth whitened by a dentist/professional?

I live in the UK, I'm 19 and when I had braces i accidentally pulled the top set off when my tooth brush got caught in the back. Out of worry of it happening again I began brushing my teeth very lightly or skipping brushes, after the braces came off I had lovely straight teeth but the colour has yellowed. I now brush my teeth properly but I'm really sad they are not very white any more, please help!
--------------------
answer from Sarah is pretty good...it's around £400-£500 depending on how much work the dentist does....but why not try Crest White Strips first?? apparently - they work & it is something you can do at home. you can't get them in the shops...but i know that you can buy them on Amazon. try that...before you spend a fortune on the dentists bill! http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/ref=sr…
