What is the cheapest, easiest and most effective way to whiten teeth?
No matter how hard or long or many times a day I brush my teeth are always yellow
--------------------
Baking soda, just not ALL the time!!!! once a week or less should do it. Dip the bristles of your damp brush in it and go to town!

Can you whiten your teeth if you have a permanent retainer?
i just got my braces off and i want to whiten my teeth, but the ortohdontist put a permanent retainer behind my bottom 6 front teeth. will the chemicals in the whitener loosen the glue and cause my retainer to fall out?
--------------------
nope. it will be fine. Just dont put any directly on the retainer. If some gets on there..no big deal. but go for it! =)

Would brushing my teeth right after drinking a dark-colored drink keep it from staining my teeth?
I just got my teeth whitened and I'm a little paranoid about what I drink now. I love sweet tea & Diet Pepsi, but I've been trying not to drink so much of it because I know it's bad for my teeth. I still drink both of them occasionally though, so my question is if I brush my teeth like immediately after I drink it, will that keep it from staining my teeth or is it gonna stain no matter what?
--------------------
If you brush you teeth everytime after drinking it that helps. But the stain is in the teeth and that stain is absorbed by the teeth and over a period of time they will need to be bleached again. You can cut down, which is good for you in other ways too. But when you really just have to have one and you're really determined, do it on rare occasion.

yellowish stained teeth n i have erosion cos i brushed them too bad in the past pls help?
my teth are slightly loose n stiff?? yellwish n the dntist ses i have erosion? so theyre too weak for tooth whitening? also how much does a white filling cost
--------------------
Did you ask if calcium will strengthen them up so that could fix the loose-ness? Did he offer any suggestions? Fillings depend, especially on your insurance and what kind of dentist you go to. If you're going to a Sears dentist, it's going to be cheaper than a private dentist -- but do remember, you pay for what you get. Good luck, teeth are a pain in the butt and expensive to maintain if they get out of hand.

I haven't found one that is pleasing yet,but deffinetely don't use Crest Whitening Strips. They don't stay on and slide around your mouth. The Aquafresh trays look good but I haven't tried them yet- so I guess I would suggest those.

Are there any side effects and is this procedure better then bleaching
--------------------
it weakens the enamel on your teeth, so it will make it easier for cavities to develop. try white strips or a whitening mouth wash instead

Tooth whitening: laser or at home strips/trays?
Hi everyone! My braces are about to come off (finally!) and I'd like to reward myself and get my teeth whitened. I just don't know which is better: professional laser whitening (what's a reasonable price for that anyways?) or those at-home treatments such as whitestrips, trays, 5-minute things? Anyone tried either one or both and has some input on that? Thanks!

Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth! For home remedies. Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month. Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening. Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth. Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains. If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here's something for you! Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel (about $18.00) allows you to remove stains while you sleep. The tooth whitening system has a fresh, wintergreen flavor. After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile. You should see results in two days, although there are reports of tooth whitening results in one night More on http://www.toothwhiteningproductreview.c…

whitening teeth on video?
I was wondering if there was any way to edit people's teeth on video camera by using some sort of software. I've looked everywhere for some sort of clues as to how to do it, and I've also been messing around with color settings on Sony Vegas but alas... I haven't figured it out. Any links or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
--------------------
It can be done but it's slow and expensive. Ted Turner colorized some old black and white movies and you could use the same techniques. You have to identify the area you want the color changed in (whiter in this case) and the software can follow that area and make the change on a frame by frame basis. This is why it's so slow and expensive. There are a lot of frames even in a short video and following the area takes expensive software. It's better just to let nature show. You can't do any whitening like this live so why bother to do it in a video?

Teeth whitening gel??
first of all: does it probably work? and should i use it in the morning or will that be uneffective?
--------------------
yess it is very effective i used it three years ago and mt teeth are still white. in two week your teeth will be white and shinny. As long as you keep on brushing your teeth so they could stay white. It doesn't matter at what time you do it, but it works trust me.

ok. i am 12 and my mom wont let me use crest white strips. thats cuz it wrecks the enamle or somthing. anyway, she told me to use baking soda on my toothpaste. i was just wondering how long it takes to work... also if you have any other tips, that would be great... thanx :)
--------------------
Same! except im not 12 haha Mix baking soda with hydrogen peroxide til it looks like toothpaste and then brush your teeth with it. Make sure you rinse you mouth out afterwards though and then brush you teeth. Do this twice a week. Also, eat lots of strawberries because they have enzymes that whiten you teeth believe it or not! If you dont understand the HP & baking soda thing, use Crest Pro Health toothpaste. It has whiting agents and it works just as well.

What is the best and fastest way to whiten your teeth?
I have been using crest white strips and they spot my teeth what can I use to make them whiter?/???
--------------------
A product called NatureWhite contains carbamide peroxide is supposed to whiten your teeth dramatically with just one 45 Minute application. It is said to be the same thing that dentists use and that dentists use a 12% solution while NatureWhite uses a 22% solution. Crest white strips, by comparison, have a 3% solution. Before whitening your teeth, you should find out if your teeth have thin enamel. This can cause your teeth to have a yellowish or brownish apperance. Whitening will not help in this situation and can make appearance worse and cause sensitivity. ______________ here is some info on zoom: http://www.rebeccablood.net/archive/2007… Price is $500 to $675 How does Zoom teeth whitening work? This method consists of a mixture of gel and special light wave treatments. The patient is seated and the dentist uses a retractor to separate the lips from the teeth so that the gel can be applied. A special gel is then applied on all the exterior faces of the teeth. The dentist is careful, at this point, not to let the gel touch the patient's gums too much, as it may cause irritation or lesions. How long does it last and what effects can I expect? The answers to the questions are different from one person to another. In most cases, a Zoom teeth whitening procedure is done twice a year. An average person who drinks coffee frequently and smokes daily will have improved tooth brightness - around 10 shades brighter. After the procedure is completed, the teeth will gradually start to regain their yellowish color over time, depending on how well you take care of them. On average, people who went through in office tooth whitening procedures noticed that their teeth stay white for months, although the initial brightness does not last more than a few weeks. ----------------------- more info on whitening: Chewing on crunchy foods like carrots, apples and celery, is said to cause friction which helps get debris off your teeth that can stain them. There are many old natural remedies and some new natural and/or herbal products, as well as, some chemical products, all claiming to whiten teeth. The color of teeth comes from genetics originally, and it varies person to person. Teeth will natually discolor over time due to age. The best way to keep teeth as white and you were designed to have, is to avoid foods, liquids, drugs, and products that stain teeth. Avoid things known to stain teeth, like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tobacco products, food colorings, etc.... Avoid direct exposure to a lot of raw lemons or citrus products like tomatos, limes, oranges, as the citric acid wears the enamel off the teeth, and when dentin is exposed (like with cavities), it can cause discoloration. If you do eat them, rinse your teeth right away. Avoid carbonated drinks that contain phosphoric acid, like coca cola for the same reason. Sports drinks often contain citric acid, phosphoric acid and organic acid (coffee contains organic acids, also). The latter two are known to break down calcium, along with breaking down enamel. Also, If you eat raw papaya or raw pineapple, rinse your mouth after eating them, as they have enzymes that can cause sores in your mouth and gums, because they break down proteins. The antibiotic tetracycline is known to cause teeth to stain and so is fluoride and caffeine. Mercury fillings cause teeth to stain where the tooth comes in contact with the filling; This is because of galvanization. So, one should get all amalgams replaced. Gold seems to be ok as long as it is a good quality gold such as high noble, and white composites or porcelain fillings can be used. Hydrogen peroxide can whiten teeth, but it can penetrate teeth, which are porous, and cause sensitivity. It is used in dental bleaching. It is a special 35% solution, so buying the 2% bottle of it over the counter in hopes to make your teeth white, will not work and could eventually cause sensitivity, irritation, or inflamation of the gums. Myself, I do not recommend teeth whiteners of any kind, for the same reason. If you do decide to use a teeth whitener, either over the counter or from the dentist, if you are not avoiding foods that cause staining, your teeth will stain again, and you will have wasted your money. To whiten your teeth often, will most likely cause sensitivity, enamel breakdown, and can lead to cavities. The long term effects of teeth bleaching on nerves and blood vessels inside the teeth are unknown. Laser bleaching seems to cause more problems with sensitivity than non-laser bleaching. Bleaching does not work on false teeth, crowns, veneers or fillings (even white ones). You may opt to replace those with lighter shades if you don't like the color. Bleaching is not recommended for children whose teeth are still developing or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is important to brush after meals to avoid plaque and tartar build up, which can also cause discoloration. Avoid toothpastes that contain abrasives to fight plaque and tarter, as they can wear away enamel and make the dentin show through (which has a yellowish or brownish tint), which can cause staining, or cavities or cause your teeth to appear brown or yellow. Also, avoid brushing too hard for the same reason. If you do consume products that cause staining, use water to rinse your mouth directly afterward. There is a technique called internal bleaching. The only way it can be done is to have a root canal, and root canals cause devastating health effects and should be avoided altogether. The British Dental Association has expressed concern that the smokers' whitening toothpastes Clinomyn and Pearl Drops are too abrasive. Many whitening toothpastes contain titanium dioxide, a suspected carcinogen and can be absorbed by the skin, and, when the effluent containing it is discharged from manufacturers, it acidifies rivers and seas. Smokers toothpaste, Topol, containing an abrasive form of silica to remove heavy stains from tar and resin deposits can cause damage to cementum and dentin in people with gingival recession, resulting root exposure. Tooth whitening actually requires modifying the intrinsic tooth color, chemically alterating the chromophores within the tooth. Whitening toothpastes using bicarbonate, alumina and polyphosphates cannot whiten teeth; All they can do is contribute to stain removal. Whitening requires bleaching or enzymatic disruption. Acid penetration and dissolution has not been an acceptable method of whitening for nearly a century. Many products claim whitening ability with various peroxides -- hydrogen, calcium or carbamide. For over-the-counter peroxide content is kept low. It has effervescence and maybe some short-lived bleaching because peroxide is rapidly broken down by oral enzymes from bacteria and saliva. Gels stay on longer, but must be used with a tray to work. Only whitening products used by dentists have ADA acceptance. Over-the-counter product manufacturers have never attempted such claims.

Charcoal was touted as the best powder to use for whitening teeth, removing tartar and preventing decay. Other common ingredients in tooth powders included: cream of tartar, camphor, white castile soap powder, cuttle fish bone, precipitated chalk, powdered borax, powdered gum myrrh, powdered orris root, and talc. The majority of these ingredients cleaned and whitened teeth. Here are some other natural remedies : Take a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tsp of salt. Make a paste. Apply this on the yellowish tint. Use the inner white part of an orange peel to rub teeth for a lovely white shine. Take half teaspoon of bi-carbonate of soda mixed with a little water to form a paste. Rub this on your teeth. Dried & powdered Bay leaves combined with dried orange peel is an excellent whitener. Strawberries, oddly enough are said to have cleansing and bleaching properties that can help remove of tea and coffee stains, especially from dentures. Crush the strawberries gently and rub the pulp onto your teeth. Rinse with water. There are some new tooth pastes and products with Bromaine Complex™, a combination of the natural enzymes, Bromelaine from pineapple, and Papain from papaya, said to be clinically proven to whiten teeth. Dentizyme™ is an herbal remedy; it consists of a unique blend of bio-active plant enzymes, organic botanicals, rainforest botanicals, and essential oils.

Easist and fastest way to whiten your teeth?
Im getting my braces off next week and my teeth arent super white but they aren't yellow either. What is the fastest way without using crest strips or something like that.
--------------------
DON'T use baking soda. That eats away at the enamel and makes your teeth super sensitive. My ortho does one whitening for free right after I get my braces off. Your orthodontist might do that too.

while brushing your teeth, apply some tipex or part of a prick stick to your brush, this will harden your teeth on a cellular level and cause them to maintain their nartual whiteness.

while brushing your teeth, apply some tipex or part of a prick stick to your brush, this will harden your teeth on a cellular level and cause them to maintain their nartual whiteness.

Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth! For home remedies. Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month. Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening. Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth. Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains. If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here's something for you! Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel (about $18.00) allows you to remove stains while you sleep. The tooth whitening system has a fresh, wintergreen flavor. After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile. You should see results in two days, although there are reports of tooth whitening results in one night More on http://www.myinformationz.info/teethwhit…
