Is brushing your teeth for half hour bad?

Im trying to whiten my teeth and since its summer i have a lot of time. Ill brush my teeth for 10 minutes in the morning and use this whitening mouthwash. Then brush another time for 20 or 30 minutes in the afternoon when i get home. Last ill brush for another ten minutes and use the whitening mouthwash again. Is this healthy or unhealthy for my teeth? And how long do you think it will take to become white again if i already see imporvement andits only been three days?
--------------------
Rather than wasting your time and damaging your teeth, this is what I recommend... Morning: Whitening Listerine, brush your teeth (and for 2 minutes, not 20) :) Afternoon: Brush your teeth again, but don't use the Listerine Night: Whitening Listerine, brush teeth, and use Whitening Strips (I prefer the ones by Crest) This worked for me in less than a week..Been using this routine for 4 years. Good luck :)

whats an easy way to whiten teeth at home? without spending too much extra money?

i am looking for a home remedy. im sick of all the products at cvs or walgreens. my teeth dont look bad but i would like to make them whiter. please help(:
--------------------
for you to keep your teeth whiter, it is a best move to quit smoking and refrain from drinking black coffee for they are culprits that can stain teeth. you should also avoid exposing teeth from stain-causing foods and beverages like sauces, chocolates, red wine, red meat, plum, tea, and even colas. make sure to make it a habit to brush and floss teeth every after meal to remove tooth stains. you can also use a teeth whitener that have quality ingredients that can deliver whiter teeth results in just a minimum time. you can also try asking your dentist about it. for more tips on how to keep teeth whiter visit http://www.trustedhealthproducts.com

i want to have my teeth whitened?

i want to have my teeth whitened by my dentist. what is a good method of whitening. i dont want my dentist to convince me the method his office is using is the best. can u tell me about ur experience with whitening. what kind u used ? the after effects? how long it lasted? did it hurt? was it expensive? was it worth it? and did anyone notice?
--------------------
I had laser bleaching done on my teeth. It was a very quick procedure and everyone noticed my white teeth right away. The downside is that my teeth felt very sensitive to anything even midly cold and I had some for about a day. I had my teeth done about 5 months ago and they are still pretty white even though I drink coffee and tea evey single day. Laser whitening costs a ***** load of money typically ($1000 or more) but I got a discount, which is why I got it done. Otherwise, most of my friends have gotten their teeth chemically bleached by the dentist, but then it takes maybe 3 or 4 followup appointments and the results aren't immediate. That costs about $500. From what I've heard chemical bleach will make your teeth sensitive too, but the results are just as good. I personally would go for the chemical bleaching for the money you save. If you have a time constraint though, you can pay extra for laser. or Britesmile bleaching.

What is the best at-home tooth whitening regime?

In addition to whitening toothpaste
--------------------
SirenSong - if you look at the list of ingredients in most tooth whitening products (including the strips) you may notice that the tooth whitening ingredient is some form of Hydrogen Peroxide. Just use hydrogen peroxide instead of your regular mouth wash. Also, some tooth whitening strips can make your teeth hurt. Every morning and before bed after brushing and flossing use Hydrogen Peroxide as your mouth wash. You can buy hydrogen peroxide (3% in the brown bottle) at your local drugstore for about $2 for a 32 ounce bottle. Mix ½ ounce hydrogen peroxide with ½ ounce hot water and swirl in your mouth for about 1 minute (hydrogen peroxide is odorless and tasteless but it FOAMS and may sting your mouth a bit). After swirling, spit out the hydrogen peroxide (DO NOT SWALLOW) and then rinse your mouth out several times with cool water. A 32 ounce bottle will last about one month. Hydrogen peroxide will not only whiten your teeth it also kills the bacteria in the mouth that causes bad breath and cavities. For even more tooth whitening try a hydrogen peroxide and baking soda toothpaste like Arm& Hammer Advance White.

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 :-)

how do i whiten my teeth without a professional?

I HATE MY TEETH! no matter what i do they never get whiter! iv been doing the crest white strips for like a month and no differencs. i brush my teeth twice a day and use whitening mouth wash but still nothing :( are there any products on the market that you recommend? my teeth aren't yellow but i want them to be alot whiter. help? 10 ppints to best answer asap! thanks!
--------------------
sab, ...cut out the sodas like coke or pepsi, even coffee or tea. that is a start. keep using the whitening strips and toothpaste but also use those automatic toothbrushes like spin brush or sonicare. when you are old enough, you can get it whiten at the dentist. the draw back is that is weakens your enamel, cause early tooth decay. in the old days, people like george washingtion did it, that is why thye had false teeth, cuz it rotted away from bleaching.

What is the easiest way to whiten teeth?

I'm taking my senior pictures in about a month or two and I was wondering what an easy and quick way to whiten teeth is. I brush and floss 2-3 times daily, but my teeth are still REALLY yellow. I don't want yellow teeth in my pictures. Does hydrogen peroxide really work? Best whitestrips? Other suggestions?
--------------------
choose teeth whitening system that has quality ingredients that can deliver safe and effective whiter teeth results in just a matter of time. stained teeth are caused by the food you eat and the drinks that you take in. the most common culprits that can stain teeth are colas, coffee, tea, chocolates, sauces, plum, red wine, etc. sometimes it would be better to use straw when drinking colas and iced tea. for more tips on how to whiten teeth visit http://www.trustedhealthproducts.com

Do teeth whitening strips weaken teeth?

If so, how long do they stay weakened... or is it permenant?
--------------------
The teeth whitening gel penetrates the enamel to the dentin beneath in order to oxidize stain pigments that are trapped in micro-crevices on the surface. teeth are made of enamel rods (tubes). You are whitening what is inside of them and not weakening the entire structure. the most common complaint of whitening agents is that teeth are sensitive. That's because these tubes are now open. Desensitizers like flouride are tubule blockers. cavities weaken enamel. They destroy the infrastructure. No, bleaching is not permanent. Coffee, tea, and other foods and liquids will restain the teeth. Most people will need a touch up within a year after bleaching depending on their diet. And yes, do not get that gel on your gums. after applying the whitening agent, take a tissue or Q-tip and wipe the excess off your gums. I bleach my teeth every 5 years but stay away from colas, limit my coffee to one a day or substitute it for one cup of tea a day. --dentist

tooth whitening products ? Any choices for tooth whitening products? any idea? how?

I have braces right now but i am getting them off soon so I'm looking for tooth bleach ideas...I want to have really white teeth when i get them off. Also I have crest whitestrips...do they work? Or are there any tooth bleach items I can use for white teeth?
--------------------
I have a strong desire for white teeth so home teeth whitening kits was always on my mind. I found these 'white strips' on google that actually worked. You have to use them for a little while but it's worth the money. Then I found something better than the strips called teeth whitener kits. I found a free trial you can order online. I had mines shipped earlier than expected. You could also try cutting back on tea, coffee and soda . You can also try spending a little extra on a good tooth brush, and a home teeth whitening kits tooth paste.

Best ways of whitening my teeth help.?

Well I want to start making my teeth whiter, but im wondering what would be better making a toothpaste from baken soda and hydrogen peroxide or just rising with hydrogen peroxide? I rather make the toothpaste if it works, being that it more safer then just rising with hydrogen peroxide. Btw i use crest pro health daily, but it doesn't help with the lighter yellow tint thats on my teeth. So i want to make them whiter, and i don't smoke, but I do drink soda's but mostly sprite. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
--------------------
well you could buy a bleaching kit sold at walmart for $ 30.00.... baking soda by itself with a little water can be used to get your teeth white but you cant use this offten its bad for your enamel ..... the best thing if go to the dentist have them whiten with the new laser tech and they will be as white as possible .... and then never drink coffee, dark tea, or dark pop again.
