how to whiten your teeth?

are there any home remidies? if not, what are the best AND the cheapest over the counter teeth whitening system (ex, crest, aquafresh etc), and approximately how much do they cost and how quickly do they work?
--------------------
brushing ur teeth with baking soda is one of the most effective ways u just have to get past the taste. drinking Coffee, tea, or anything with artificial colorings will darken ur teeth. just try to brush 2-3 times a day

Will dentist whiten my teeth if i ask him to even though i need work done?

The dentist keeps scheduling me appointments- a couple weeks ago i had a root canal, i have a couple teeth with small cavities that need to be filled still. The first time i had a cleaning done. Now he keeps making appointments 2 weeks apart and every other week i get something else done, i want my teeth whiteneneed! Will he do them if i ask for it even though some work still needs to be done?
--------------------
No. Before you have any bleaching done, it is best to have all your teeth healthy and sound. The problem being, if you have tiny cavities, or any cavities in your front teeth, the hydrogen peroxide solution can badly damage your teeth. Usually I recommend cleaning before teeth whitening because it removes all the stains and plaque, giving a clean tooth surface to whiten. You will get better results. The Dentist is a doctor and he will have to treat your infected teeth, decayed teeth before doing any cosmetic procedure. It would be highly unethical if he just did the bleaching without cleaning your teeth (even if you really needed it) or restoring your cavities. If you find a Dentist who just wants easy money, then he will do the bleaching immediately without even examining the condition of your teeth and gums. Will a plastic surgeon place breast implants on a woman just because she asked, even if he found a huge lump in one of her breasts? No.

What is the best whitening toothpaste available on the shelves?

i can't afford dentist whitening. and i'm only 13. help? i have very low confidence and thats because of my yellow teeth what is the best whitening toothpaste that you have used and did it work, what brand and how much did it cost? i've heard of colgate sensitive whitening toothpaste does it work? HELP!!
--------------------
All toothpastes that say whitening on them will only work if you have stains on your teeth, like coffee or tobacco stains. The reason is that the whitening toothpastes have more grit in them so it polishes off the stain and thus your teeth appear white. It does not have any "bleach" in them. This is what is misleading about whitening toothpastes. Your issue is yellow teeth, which is not a stain, it is the natural color of your teeth. Your best bet is to try the Crest whitestrips, they have a form of peroxide in it that will actually bleach out the yellow. The cost is about $30 in the store for a 2 week supply, I know you are a tad young at 13, but this will help your self esteem if you have a great smile! Good luck!

--------------------
the best home ways are just to get the toothpastes that have the staining chemicals in them. If you actually want a really good clean, then your going to need to speak to a dentist and have them cleaned.

If I use a mouthwash that whitens teeth with braces on, will I end up with stains when they come off?

I have this mouthwash that you use and then brush your teeth after you spit it out (I think the brand is Listerine but I don't remember exactly) and it whitens your teeth. I have braces too, and I was wondering if it would also whiten the part that the braces cover (the mouthwash is liquid) or if I would end up with darker stains when my braces get removed. Thanks.
--------------------
When you get the braces off, the cement gets drilled off as well, so you should be ok. Once they do that, your teeth get polished so any uneven coloring should be taken care of.

BAKING POWDER ISN'T BAKING SODA, THE LATER DOES REMOVE SURFACE STAINS - THE OTHER DOESN'T.

What is the best way to whiten your teeth if you have sensitivity?

I have been trying to whiten my teeth with Crest WhiteStrips but quickly found out that my tooth sensitivity would prevent me from finishing with it. I have heard that using baking soda works, but I am just looking for the best way possible.
--------------------
i would probably try baking soda bc you can just add that to ur regular toothpaste or mix it with water - but be careful not to use it long term or without the advice of ur dentist bc home things could damage ur teeth over time. i would ask ur dentist what he thinks the best thing would be. i know that when i got my bleaching trays and gel from my dentist he said that sometimes placing some toothpaste for sensitive teeth into the trays (and/or brushing with it) can help with the sensitivity. hope this helps! =)

A home- made toothpaste for whitening ok?

I was looking on the internet for home remedies for teeth whitening. I fould ALOT of people saying bakig soda, peroxide..etc. I found this one that says to mix baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, table salt, and a dab of regular toothpaste and mix to a paste and brush teeth, says to use once a week and brush with regular toothpaste afterwards. But will any of these ingredients wear away my enamel, or be bad for my gums??
--------------------
first, u need to undertand, the hydrogen peroxide or Carbamide peroxide are used all of teeth whitening products and laser teeth whitening in office. thay are must effect your tooth enamel and gums unless u do not want to whitening your teeth. however, Studies evaluating 10% carbamide peroxide whiteners and 3% hydrogen peroxide have found minimal or no effect on the microhardness or mineral content of tooth enamel surfaces. as long as u can use a right containing of them, the fruit drinks and soft drinks actually cause more damage to tooth enamel than teeth whitening bleach. Baking Soda won't bleach your teeth, but it will help get plaque off and make them shine. it will only erase the stain, but will not affect your enamel. so, overall, it is safe as long as you use the correct. i thinks the site will give u a lot of help, u can check it The safety for teeth whitening at home and In-office http://www.teethwhiteningbest.com/teeth-…

Whitening trays hurting teeth? (not sensitivity)?

i've been using whitening trays that have been professionally molded to my teeth for months now, but just recently when I remove them in the morning one of my front teeth hurts like the tray was putting pressure on it. Like the way a retainer or braces would hurt. Is this normal or should I replace the trays?

What is the best way to whiten your teeth?

What is the best way to whiten your teeth without paying lots of money to have them professionally whitened? Does Baking Soda work? I prefer natural methods but I am not completely opposed to other methods.
--------------------
Baking soda does work, make a paste out of it with water and brush your teeth with it. They have mouthwash that helps whitens, flossing is important to white teeth also. Another homemade method I read about online was using strawberry juice and swishing it around your mouth for 5 minutes then using baking soda and water and rinsing your mouth. It was on the yahoo news headlines.

Whitening your teeth?

I have braces but I want to whiten my teeth... is it possible??
--------------------
You should really wait until your braces are off otherwise all around your braces will be white and once they are taken off underneath the brace will be darker. I know its tempting but wait otherwise your teeth could look silly.

Do you think 13 year old should whiten their teeth?

I went to the dentist Saturday and he said I should use whitening strips because the whites of my eyes and teeth are supposed to match like the same color white, and they don't. my mother's periodonist said I shouldn't use them until I was 16 or 17. So is it okay for me to use whitening strips?
--------------------
i personally think it's ur choice and if u want to u can but my dentist said that when u use them, they get rid of the enamel on your teeth or whatever that top important layer is called and if u use them for a long time, then most of it will come off and ur teeth will be more sensitive to hot and cold and other things that might cause cavities

teeth whitening question?

Has anyone ever heard or tried hydrogen peroxide for your teeth? Does it ruin your enamel? Is it safe? I know crest strips ruin your enamel so I don't want that to happen with this. Thank you.
--------------------
Any type of bleaching agent will damage the enamel if done too much. Crest Whitestrips will not damage the enamel unless you overdo it. Same goes for hydrogen peroxide.
