teeth whitening at home? with braces?

ok so i still have a few brackets on so i cant do strips or anything at the moment. i also don't want anything TOO extreme because i don't want spots from where my braces are. so what are some at home things i can do (like baking soda and whatnot) that can give me a little bit of a brighten?
--------------------
Wow the guy below total dip sh!t. But try brushing for a t least two minutes, twice daily. Floss and Mouthwash is also very helpful.

How long will it take my teeth to whiten if I brush my teeth once daily with a baking soda/water paste?

Ok I read yesterday that a baking soda and water paste will help whiten my teeth if I brush them with the paste once a day. How long till I see results? And do I keep using my usual toothpaste as well or stop using it?
--------------------
I think the best thing to do is to brush 3 or more times a day ( even after every meal is good)This way the food that gets stuck in your teeth gets brushed out and doesn't end up creating a cavity or worse, staining. Brushing your teeth with baking soda is ok. but don't do it more that one or two times a week. Think of the baking soda as an acidic chemical. It might make something shiny or nice if you use it every once in a while, but if you use it too much it starts eating away a what ever it is (in your case the tooth's enamel.) Ive been brushing like this frequently and using backing soda every once in a while and it really makes a difference. My friends are constantly telling me that my teeth are really white. I hope this helps. =)

Is tooth whitening free for under 18s on the NHS?

I'm 15 and would like to whiten my teeth (as long as it is free). Is it so on the NHS
--------------------
No, you cannot get tooth whitening on the NHS Also you shouldn't really whiten your teeth while they are still erupting. The upper central incisors can still be erupting as late as 17.

Teeth Whitening Strips?

Did anybody try them? can you give me a good recomendation which to try? Did you actualy see any change in color?
--------------------
I used two whole boxes of crest whitestrips advanced seal in one month, and I did see a difference of about 5-8 shades. my teeth were pretty bad off because I had neglected to brush them as a child. they aren't as white as I'd like them to be, more of an off-white, but I have braces right now so it doesn't matter too much. but they are definitely a heck of a lot brighter than they used to be. I used them back in august, and the color is still the same, so I'd say the effects last.

Hi, I am not sure about this specific mom but a lot of companies will give you a free sample whitening kit because most of these products work . Now if your teeth are relatively in good condition then these whitening samples will be enough for you and you will see amazing results by only using the sample kit. However if your teeth are very stained and not in the best shape then you will see results within the sample trail but it will not be enough and you will have to purchase a kit to complete the process (or just order a few samples kits and make sure you cancel them before the trail period ends). I guess this companies business model is based on the fact that most people will be happy with the results so they will pay for the full kit. If you are looking for teeth whitening but you are not willing to pay for it then i suggest you order one or more of this sample kits and make sure to cancel them on time. If you want to learn more about teeth whitening and find a good offers for teeth whitening i suggest you check the site at the source it is a very informative site...

teeth whitening strips?

on the box it says that they should only be used once a day. why is this? what would happen if I used twice a day?
--------------------
I think it is to prevent your teeth from becoming too sensitive from the whitening strips or it might have something to do with the enamel of your teeth.

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. Yellow teeth are not always unhealthy while bright white teeth can be unhealthy. 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://tinyurl.com/freewhiteteeth 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 :-)

Does pure baking soda bad for your teeth?

When growing up I used to use on my teeth and it would really whiten. It used to advertise teeth whitening on the box. It no longer advertises that its use is for whitening teeth and Im wondering if its because its not good for your teeth.
--------------------
It is very good for your teeth and gums, but.. to abrasive to use daily, used once or twice a week to help help tremendously to remove stains and plaqe is fine, It does make a great mouthwash that can be used daily(1/2 tsp mixed with 5 oz water. it may not taste minty, but it removes odors!

Whitening Teeth?

What product/method is the best way to get white teeth without doing it professionally? Thanks
--------------------
Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others. 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 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. 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

--------------------
Try this: Take a little bit of activated charcoal powder and then put some water in it to make it into a paste. Brush your teeth with it like you would with regular toothpaste. Your teeth will be all black in the end. Then rinse very well, and, if you want to, brush your teeth with your normal toothpaste. Your teeth will come out instantly white.

What's the safest cheapest way to whiten your teeth at home?

What's the cheapest way to whiten your teeth at home? I've heard of using baking soda but some say it isn't safe is that true and is there something that's not in a form of a paste, strip or a trip to the dentist that will help me whiten my teeth? Thanks for Your Help!
--------------------
crest whitestrips!!! but sometimes those can even be a bit pricey so either get the store brand of them or... brush your teeth at least 3 times and floss daily and use hydrogen peroxide mixed halfway with water as a oral mouthwash. there is no sugar in it and its safe and effective. just buy a bottle from the dollarstore and its about a dollar. The directions are on the back. hope this helps and good luck! =)) oh, p.s. here is what the back of my bottle of hydrogen peroxide says: oral debriding agent: -mix with an equal amount of water. -swish around in the mouth over the affected area for at least 1 miniute and then spit out. -use up to 4 times daily after meals and at bedtime or as directed by a dentist or doctor. oh...ellie secretly loves…was talking about baking soda.... well shes right too. it really does work.!!

It regards a company called 'white-again' teeth whitening gel?

I bought some of this gel lastt year from a beauty show in manchester, reputable I would have thought, at a cost of £30, not cheap. When I arrived home the gel had spilled all over the bag as the top was not on properly, I took it from the bag and then my fingers went white and were burning for about 5 hours, even after washing. I tried the website white-again.com, does not exist Tried to find a phone number--none! finally I wrote asking for a replacement and their thoughts. The letter was never returned nor did I receive a reply. Today that same show is on in Manchester and hey! the same stand is there. I spoke quietly to a man they directed me to who supposedly is the Manager, I asked what they would do, he offered firstly to replace it to which I said I would prefer a refund due to what happened, I also told him the product must be full of peroxide to burn in that way, I suggested he replace and also give another. He became extremely rude he was in fact obnoxious. I asked if he would rather I tell all his customers to which he walked away. I then went to the organizers to tell them what had happened and they are powerless to do anything. I have returned with the item. Can anyone help and advise me what to do I am a pensioner and can ill afford to lose £30
