question about BRUSHING//WHITENING teeth? please answer :)

ok, lets say that every day for pretty much your whole life you've brushed your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. now lets say that you brush your teeth for ten minutes twice a day. how long will it take for you to see a difference? --this is totally random, its not like i'm going to start brushing my teeth ten minutes twice a day or anything (this question doesnt even relate to me a little bit) i'm just curious....
--------------------
You will see your teeth sensitive. Brushing is hard on your teeth, it removes tooth enamel. Use something like crest whitening - night time. It works very well, in conjunction with armon hamor baking soda teeth whitening stuff (not sure of the name, but its pretty much just that).

What are the pro's and con's of whitening strips?

I just got my braces taken off (YAY!), and I want to get my teeth whitened. I have heard that they are unhealthy for you, but I don't know too much about that to make my decision as to whether I should use them or not. So I just wanted to know some background info on whitening strips, the pluses and the minuses, you know... yeah. Thx. :]]
--------------------
No, there have not been health concerns with whitening strips. They contain a form of peroxide and if anything are killing off bugs in the mouth. When the bleach gets onto a root surface, you can get some sensitivity. This will last until that area remineralizes. You can hurry that process along by using a sensitivity toothpaste (which contains a potassium ion that will aid in this process). You could also use a fluoride rinse to help with the sensitivity. OK, now for the important part: brush and FLOSS well every day and wear those retainers. Retainers are the best cheapest insurance policy that your teeth won;t go back to their former crookedness. Good luck and bright smiles.

Do you get your teeth bleached/whitened after taking off braces?

Seeing as how braces will cover up parts of your teeth that can't be brushed, does the orthodontic typically bleach/whiten your teeth after taking off your braces? I ask because people's teeth are unusually really white after getting their braces off.
--------------------
Mine didn't!! I wish he would of. But my ortho actually recommended those crest white strips. Surprisingly, they've been working really well. Just get the supreme ones if you get them at all. They're slightly pricey (like $35-$40) but it's a lot cheaper than professional whitening!

How do you whiten teeth?

Most whitening products damage teeth. How do you whiten teeth without causing so much damage?
--------------------
No whitening product causes any type of permanent damage to teeth. If they did then they would not be recommended and approved by the American Dental Association. Any sensitivity that is caused is only temporary and goes away after using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and the whitening procedure has been completed. The best product on the market for over the counter whitening is Crest White strips. the best toothpaste to use for sensitivity is Sensodyne. Hope this helps you

How can you whiten your teeth without damaging them?

I've tried the baking soda and it works OK but I heard that theres a way to bleach your teeth at home? Because apparently whitestripes just kill your teeth. I did see this stuff called "Rembrandt" or something like that and it would whiten your teeth in like 3 hours but that is probably expensive and bad. Thanks for answers in advance!
--------------------
The secret to this inexpensive home whitening method is malic acid, which acts as an astringent to remove surface discoloration. Combined with baking soda, strawberries become a natural tooth-cleanser, buffing away stains from coffee, red wine, and dark sodas. While it's no replacement for a bleaching treatment at your dentist's office, "this is a fast, cheap way to brighten your smile," says Adina Carrel, DMD, a dentist in private practice at Manhattan Dental Arts in New York. "Be careful not to use this too often, though, as the acid could damage the enamel on your teeth." You need: 1 ripe strawberry 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking soda until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking soda mix. Rinse. (A little floss will help get rid of any strawberry seeds.) Carrel says you can apply once a week.

How to whiten teeth without changing the color of clear braces!?

So, I have pretty "average" color teeth, but I'd like them to be whiter. Trouble is, I have clear braces.... is there any way that I can whiten my teeth without changing the color of my braces? I'm kind of freaking out about my teeth today, since I have a dentist appointment tomorrow!!

when you go to visit the dentist, you should talk to him about it, and ask him if there is any way you can whiten your teeth without changing the color of your clear braces.. he should know best, don't you think? <33

tips for split ends and whitening teeth?

okayy yea i know kinda random things but heres the deal..my teeth are fairly straight and white but not really white how can i get them realllly white bc both my friend have had braces and their teeth professionally whitened and it kinda stinkss..haha anyways i also color my hair blonde with highlights and have a natural strawberry blonde/brownish red color any way to have root not show bc my hair grows pretty quick and i cant keep coloring it cuzza my ends which brings me to the next thing...split ends!! help. i rlly dont want to cut my haor bc i just did a month ago and im growing it long so yea(: thanks!!
--------------------
i am a professional hair stylist and i also happen to have the same color hair as you do..anytime you put bleach in your hair it is going to dry it out... i would reccomend getting a intense treatment next time you get a color because if you have alot of split ends then that means your hair is really dry and that will help moisturize it, so in other words it will moisturize it and take care of the split ends.. also you should get a trim. it doesnt have to be alot.. just enough to take the dead ends off.. it will leave your hair feeling nice and fresh. as far and covering your roots... the best thing is to go back every month and get a touch up.. it wont cost as much.. they would only put the bleach on the outgrowth of your hair.. good luck

Does the Liquid Smile Teeth Whitening Pen work?!?

I'm thinking about purchasing one and I've only seen good reviews about it online, so far! Has anyone used it before? Alot of websites claim you can acheive the ONE HOUR whitening, normally available at the dentists office, with this pen. Here's a website I saw that on.... http://www.just4teeth.com/Liquid-Smile-Professional-Whitening-Pen It says: "For Immediate Results with your liquid smile. Perform your own professional one hour whitening Repeat steps 1-6 (above) every 10 minutes for one hour." So just curious to know your opinion! It's much cheaper than in office whitening and seems to be much more effective and efficient than the trays so it makes me really curious as to why its inexpensive compared to the other procedures... Thanks in advance! =)
--------------------
You will be disappointed and will be wasting your money. If it was that good all the dentists would be using it. Whitening strips would even be far superior to this.

Question about whitening my teeth with NiteWhite?

I have been whitening my teeth for 3 days now with NiteWhite ACP but am seeing no results yet. It has 10% carbamide peroxide. I was told to use it about 30 minutes a day (once a day), but after doing a bit of research online it seems like I may have been told the wrong thing. From what I've read the 22% should be worn at least an hour, so if I'm on the 10% shouldn't I be wearing it like two hours or more each day? I have no instructions because I wasn't given any kind of NiteWhite box or anything. I really am feeling like I might not be wearing it long enough because I'm not even experiencing any sensitivity whatsoever. Should I start wearing it longer?? Thanks for any help
--------------------
Yes, the 10% one is less strong. Therefore, you should use it longer. However, discontinue or reduce the length of time if you develop any sensitivity of teeth. More info on bleaching : http://www.associatedcontent.com/article…

Any easy home remedies to whiten teeth quickly before school starts in a week?

I have light yellow teeth and I brush my teeth at least 2 times a day. I sometimes drink tea and rarely any coffee. School starts in less than a week or about, and I want my teeth to be a little bit more white. Any home remedies without going to the dentist or having to go to the store to buy something? If not, then please list any things I can buy for a CHEAP price that is very effective.
--------------------
The baking soda solution in the previous answer is a good one, but you can make it better by mixing the baking soda with a little hydrogen peroxide, which you can buy for very little in any pharmacy, Make a paste with the peroxide and the baking soda, and brush with that. Just be realistic. There is a reason why the makers of expensive commercial products can get away with charging so much. They work better than cheap home remedies. Still, if your teeth are only light yellow, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide may be all you need, so it iis worth giving that a try. If you want more information about how to do this, check out the Web page below: http://hubpages.com/hub/Hydrogen-Peroxid… Good luck!!
