i'm looking for a good tooth whitening system that i should give a try before getting the zoom ?

does anyone know of a good over the counter tooth whitening system that has proven results and doesn't take a while to see results, that you would use before getting the zoom or custom white trays?
--------------------
I have used this mixture for awhile, and it works great!! It's inexpensive. Buy plain hydrogen peroxide, buy you favorite tasting mouthwash. Mix one part peroxide to 2 parts mouthwash, Swish around your mouth for about 60 seconds prior to brushing . It starts working almost imediately :)

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.

What is your usual routine for whitening your teeth and keeping them white?
--------------------
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.

What's an inexpensive way to whiten teeth?

Lately my boyfriend has been picking on me about my teeth (they aren't perfect alignment-wise, but they aren't scary so I assume he's picking on the color). Is there an inexpensive way I can whiten them?
--------------------
Don't use Lemon Juice, the acid is horrible on your teeth and causes cavities. Brush with Baking Soda and diluted Hydrogen Peroxide twice a day and get the Crest Whitening strips. Also, coffee, dark sodas, etc will stain your teeth worse.Also getting dental cleanings every 6 months will make a big difference.

It should be OK to use it, if you were given take home fluoride after the Zoom, make sure you use it, it's very effective reducing sensitivity after bleaching.

--------------------
Hi, One of my friend has try one product for 2 days (He said that you gonna see the real result in 6 days) and the result are already very good. The name of the product is alphawhite (you can go to my resource box below). And he didn' even pay for the product because it's a free trial. He only pay for shipping cost which is about $6,9. Maybe you can try that too, before you spend anything - except for the shipping cost. I hope this helps

Whitening Bonding (teeth) With Denture Cleaner?

I have porcelain bonding on six of my teeth that are over 15 years old and have allot of stains. I have not replaced them yet due to the fact that new ones will cost me thousands of dollars. I have been told there is no way to whiten them but today I was at Walgreen's and bought Stain Away Plus denture cleaner thinking I would mix it and use it like a mouthwash (they are crystals you mix with water)- it says it whitens in 5 minutes. My thinking was to hold it in my mouth and spit it out after 5 minutes and maybe it would whiten them since some dentures are made of porcelain. But I wanted to do some research first to make sure it's safe to use that way (in mouth)....... It doesn't list ingredients on the box and I have been unable to find them anywhere. It also doesn't have anything that says not to use in mouth, all it says is "In case of contact with eyes or mouth, flush with water", Can anyone tell me if it's safe to use that way or if it will even work? Thanks!!
--------------------
That will not work. Porcelain is very color stable. The only way those cleaners work is by knocking off surface stain. They do NOT make porcelain whiter. As for if it is safe...not sure, but I sort of doubt it. Otherwise Listerine would do it. Thanks for the gut splitting laugh by the way!

About how much does it cost to get your teeth whitened?

i want to get my teeth professionally whitened at teh dentist... how much does this normally cost???
--------------------
it depends on the dentist, what type of whitening you do, and where you live. around me, a lot of dentists are offering free custom trays and bleach with a "new patient" appt. i got the custom trays/bleach from my dentist for about $50 (and then it is like $40 each time i need new bleach). in-office whitening averages $650. hope this helps! :]

--------------------
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
