I got my braces off on september 14 2009...My Orthodontist gave me a bleaching kit 2 use but ive herd that bleaching your teeth isn't good. I only used my kit 2 days after i got my braces off then i quit because i didn't have any time 2 do it...If i use it just a few days from 2day do you think it would hurt my teeth....BTW i felt no sensitivity when i did it back i september

Teeth whitening, have you done it?
Has anyone paid professionally to get this done? Did you see a remarkable difference? Was it worth the money? How many shades whiter do you think you got your teeth and last but not least did it make your teeth sensitive and for how long? I am looking into doing this but wanted to ask some questions first. Thanks Jenn

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I had "Zoom" whitening and it ruined my gums..they were black for 3 weeks and now some of my gum tissue is missing! It was a huge difference the first day, but after a few days they seemed to look like they did before the procedure, but they are actually whiter...but at a cost of $500 and future gum surgery...and it HURTS LIKE HELL. Please do your research before you do this, it is generally safe, but anything with gel and a light.....stay away!

Whats the best way to naturally whiten your teeth?
I'm not talking about hollywood type white teeth which you could spot from a mile away. But just generally white teeth. Whats the best way to naturally do it? I don't want to get any professional treatments, just want to know if there are any fruits I should eat (I've heard apples are good to whiten teeth) and how much I should brush my teeth, stuff like that.

Do whitening toothpastes damage your teeth?
I mean the normal ones like Colgate and Macleans.
--------------------
Those brands should not cause damage if used in accordance to the instructions. http://www.colgate.co.uk/app/ColgateTota… http://www.macleans.co.uk/products.aspx#… What about whitening toothpastes? There are several whitening toothpastes on the market. Although they do not affect the natural colour of your teeth, they may be effective at removing staining and therefore may improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Whitening toothpaste may also help the effect last, once your teeth have been professionally whitened. We recommend that you look for our accreditation symbol on the packaging of oral care products. This is a guarantee that the claims made about the product have been scientifically and clinically checked by an independent panel of experts.

TEETH WHITENING-- ROOT CANAL PROBLEM!!?
I have two questions: 1) In a few years i'm going to get veneers or crowns on my two front teeth, and since they will be quite white, i want to bleach the other other teeth on occasions so the colour will match. Is this a good idea?... or will it harm those two teeth.. 2) Another thing, due to an accident, I had root canal done on both my front two teeth. One of them chipped almost halfway and the dentist filled it. I do not have crowns in yet, and I know bleach doesnt work on root canaled teeth. But would using bleach affect these teeth NOW? As in make them weaker because theres more chemicals coming in contact with them?
--------------------
ur first question is incomplete 1)why few years 2)why veneers 3)why they will be white they will match the exact color ,shape contour, shade with the adjacent tooth they can do double or more shading of that crown ans of second question . bleach works on rct treated teeth also it is known as inter coronal bleaching. it is very easy. if bleaching is done in proper way then it will never effect ur teeth if any thing u want to know more mail me at drharshgoyal@yahoo.com

Why do the British have yellow teeth?
I was recently in the UK, on vacation. I noticed how yellow/orange most peoples teeth were. Here in the US there are many teeth whitening products and dentists that make teeth whiter. You can even use baking soda to whiten teeth, so why are the Brits so lazy when it comes to making their teeth look healthy. (they may be healthy but yellow doesn;t look too good.)

what is the best way to whiten teeth?
i know you can buy the strips at the store, and i have also heard of usuing peroxide as a mouthwash or brushing with baking soda. so which one of these will work the best when trying to whiten my teeth? and no im not asking which is healthiest, i know non of them probably are that healthy. and i don't have the money to get it professionally done.
--------------------
Baking soda is probably basically abrasive so it removes hard calculus which stains easily. I would do that and then the strips -- assuming that by strips you mean the ones with bleach on them like crest whitestrips.

whitening teeth with baking soda?
if i brush them with baking soda r they gonna be white right after or do i need to do it the night before or sooner than that???
--------------------
Jan is right, baking soda is an abrasive and will wear away the enamel on your teeth quickly. It will make your teeth very sensitve! I noticed at wal-mart tonight they had Equate white strips for $14. They will whiten your teeth in two weeks, safely. I use Crest Vivid White toothpaste. I love it. I used a tube of it and when i went to a different toothpaste, I could tell they were more white when i used the Vivid White and it's only $3. There are a ton of inexpenssive, ADA approved ways to whiten your teeth.

I need help with whitening my teeth Safely!?!? Please :D?
I am a Teenager and I recently stopped brushing my teeth for days at a time. Now I think of it I regret it a lot :S But now I Have started to Brush my teeth 2 times a day. The problem is that they are slightly yellow.... Is there any brand or product I can use which will whiten my teeth without any abrasives or ingredients which can damage my teeth or gums? and also if so, how long roughly would it take? And one last thing, I read About Orbit White Chewing Gum. Apparently it whitens teeth? could i have some information please :P help with any of this would be appreciated. Thank you! :D

There aren't any successful whitening treatments which don't harm your teeth in the long run, to my knowledge. The dentist says whitening speeds up the decay process and you're likely to lose your teeth earlier on in life. Have you had a dentist checkup recently? They'll clean and polish your teeth properly and that itself can work wonders. =)

I read in Maxim a while back that you can smash up a strawberry and mix it with baking soda to kinda make a toothpaste and brush it on and leave it on for about 5 minutes, then wash off. I don't know if it really works or how many times you actually have to do it.

Here are eight helpful guidelines for you: 1. Brush your teeth on a regular basis, use the dental floss. This way you will protect the teeth from cavities and plaque, and also such things as tartar. You will not only avoid these problems, but will make your teeth great-looking! 2. Keep away from fluoride, this substance will blemish your teeth color. Fluoride can be in water and in toothpaste, so pay attention to this fact when you choose the suitable product. 3. Keep away from smoking, and drink less tea or coffee. These are coloring drinks, your teeth will lose their whiteness when you drink much of them. 4. There is a number of products, which will cause stains on your teeth, some veggies and fruits also can produce such effect. Nobody urges you to stop eating them, just make sure to brush your teeth later. 5. Do you know about whitening effect of some fruits? This is a well-known thing, but if you are still not aware of it, take into consideration that orange peel can be good for this purpose. If you polish your teeth with this mash, you will see later the difference. It is also possible to make a paste of orange peel and leaves of sweet bay for brushing with this paste. Another good recipe consists of lemon juice and salt. 6. Baking soda is great natural teeth whitening means! Plenty of toothpastes made soda their ingredient because of its efficiency. We do not ask you to purchase paste of this kind. Make a combination of baking soda, salt and vinegar in addition to it and you receive an excellent means to overcome your cosmetic defect. 7. Pay special attention to the choice of mouthwash. The majority of them contains alcohol, others contain chlorhexidine which at times does not let your teeth remain white. 8. There are plenty of products for teeth whitening such as Alta White teeth whitening powder which is great, i've seen some good reviews about this product, they also provide a free trial. noticeably whiter & brighter teeth in only 6 days!

How Can I Whiten My Teeth?
I don't fancy getting expensive treatment at my dentist and yet I've tried so-called whitening toothpaste and it doesn't work! How can I get white teeth. Is the dentist route the only way?
--------------------
Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others.The results are usually pretty quick, noticeable in the first few days, best in a week or longer. Our office uses Crest Supreme which are much stronger than what you can buy in a drugstore and don't cost that much more ($60.00 vs $30.00). You can purchase the drugstore version, but if you can do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar or plaque) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). The strips are probably your best low price alternative, much less than in office whitening or custom trays (about $500.00). I am also hearing happy reviews with the Aquafresh whitening trays, unlike the strips they don't have the tendency to slip or move). All of the methods (strips, trays, custom trays, in office whitening) have the potential to make your teeth temporarily sensitive, but will not harm the enamel. If you get sensitive use the product every other day in conjunction with a sensitive tooth toothpaste. You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again. Good luck! JAMRDH - a dental hygienist Hope that helps!

How do you mix the solution of baking soda and peroxide to whiten teeth, ex. how many tsp etc.?
I am told that this solution will help to whiten teeth so I am interested in using it. Thanks for your help.

First of all, please dont. this will only irritate the gums around your teeth. It will not whiten your teeth. You need to use a bleaching gel with hydrogen peroxide in it.

Baking soda worked for me. Take a pan, put baking soda and water together, mix until it is pasty. Take that paste on your toothbrush and brush with that only. I used baking soda and it whitened my teeth a bit.
