I recently purchased the Plus White 5 Minute Bleach Whitening gel. I have been using it for the past week. I'm not sure if I have been doing it right when it comes to brushing my teeth. Am I supposed to brush my teeth before or after using this whitening gel?
--------------------
I have that too and you have to brush before to get all the stuff off your teeth. And the stuff is kinda gross so i brush after words too and it doesn't do anything to the proses.

what household goods can i use to whiten my teeth?
ok people,,what can i use to whiten my teeth,,,,there must be a way i can do this with out giving my pay check to the dentist...come on people help me out,,, thanks ! E,

Baking soda (NOT baking POWDER) It's a natural whitener, but it takes longer to see the improvement. Also, try to avoid foods that stain the teeth, like tea, coffee, blueberries, colas. And don't smoke. Watch out for citric acid, lemon, orange, grapefruit juices. They wear away the enamel of the teeth. If you drink a citrus drink,or eat a citrus fruit, wait a while before brushing your teeth.

How to get whiter teeth?
I want to use no chemicals! =) Sometimes I use baking soda to whiten my teeth and a whitening toothpaste but they still are not very white! Help me please!
--------------------
Hi Emily, If you don't want to use chemicals (you probably mean hydrogen peroxide, which is the most important chemical in most whitening products), your only other options are good teeth care and natural whitening methods. Some people think natural whitening methods are effective, others believe they are a waste of time. If you consider them as the only option, they may be worth trying. The most popular ones are rubbing your teeth with strawberries, using baking soda (which I see you are already using), eating parsley leaves and massaging teeth with banana peels. I've heard some people are using wood ash, but it sounds scary to me :). If you are certain you don't want to use chemicals, you may want to give this methods a shot. Good luck!

How can I make my teeth whiter without spending a lot of money?
I brush my teeth about three times a day with Crest Extra Whitening and they are white, but not to my liking. Any help?
--------------------
"I brush my teeth about three times a day with Crest Extra Whitening and they are white, but not to my liking." That rhymed!! You are amazing. =) Well, try swishing with Crest Whitening Rinse 1 to 2 times every day. I've personally seen results! Of course, there is always the professional help route, too. But I get the feeling that you don't need that. =) -Sheridan

Can you use baking powder to whiten teeth?
or is it specifically baking soda? or bicarbonate of soda? i dont know the difference between all of them Thankyou :D
--------------------
as the others said - it's bicarbonate of soda. dead easy to buy from most supermarkets... my village shop even sells it ! i wouldn't want to use it though - it tastes bad enough when it's mixed into minty toothpaste. i tried it once, and got fed up of retching every time i tried to brush my teeth. it works because it's a mild abrasive - maybe not to be recommended for continuous use. ask your dentist.

How to use Bicarbonate of Soda to brush teeth?
Hi. I read about this in a magazine to help whiten your teeth! However it was only peice about it and it didnt say how to use it. I just dipped my toothbrush into the soda but am not sure if this is right (and it tasted awful!). Am i suppost to make it into a paste with water, dilute it or just put it on my brush as powder. And this should be done 1-2 times per week, right? Thanks
--------------------
Just wet your brush and dip it in some baking soda. That's it! It is used to remove light, superficial stains from cigarettes, red wine, cola products, tea, coffee, etc. It will not remove pigment from your teeth if you have yellow teeth that are free of the above-noted stains. Only a bleach can do that. Just be careful because it is abrasive. Use sparingly and be careful not to abrade your gums. Do not use it instead of toothpaste because it does not contain fluoride or plaque/tartar inhibitors.

How can I whiten my teeth?
At home without buying whitening products? any home things i can do that work fast?
--------------------
Do not ever put straight lemon juice on your teeth! The acid can ruin your enamel permanently. To safely remove stains from your teeth use a toothpaste like crest pro health. It is coarser than most toothpastes so it will remove more than traditional pastes. Strawberries naturally remove stains. Avoiding colas, coffees, teas and wines will help too. Also peroxide is safe if you dilute it 50/50 with water. Swish and spit.

How many times a day can you whiten your teeth?
I bought the Crest 3D White Whitestrips Advanced Vivid. It's a 14 day kit, but in the directions it says that, for faster results, you can use 2 a day for 7 days, instead of just 1 for each of the 14. I'm curious if you can use more than 2 per day?
--------------------
ideally no more than two weeks, and no more than the recommended, the reason is sensitivity and possible burns. If over use you can develop chemical burns, as well as sensitivity. some people I have encountered have bleach so much or too long or too often that they burnd their gums out and now have exposed roots which are naturally yellow and can not be lighten with whitener.

What is the best, quickest way to whiten your teeth at home?
which way is best? strips, trays, those click pens with the gel in them? which one is easiest and fastest?
--------------------
I have heard mixed things about this technique, but it definitely works (from personal experience). Mix together baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to make a paste and rub it on to your teeth / mix together equal amounts of hydrogen peroxide and water to create a mouthwash. do either of these techniques twice a day, as well as brushing with a whitening toothpaste. hydroggen peroxide is actually the active ingredient in whitestrips, so it definitely does the job. I've done it and noticed results after just a few days .. this is also an incredibly cheap way to whiten teeth. if you're apprehensive of this technique, crest whitestrips premium work really well (although are about 40$). These whiten your teeth within a few days, but some problems can arise by using them such as increased tooth sensitivity and having the strips slip off your teeth. there are some whitening systems that come with a tray, but from my experience they do not work very well because the tray does not easily conform to your mouth shape, and the whitening is very badly distributed and they are uncomfortable to wear. I noticed somebody below said to use lemon .. do not do this! The acid in the lemon will whiten your teeth, but it will also cause significant enamel damage because the acid will wear it down. also, techniques using strawberries are equally as bad because they also contain large amounts of acid that can wreak your teeth. hope this helps .. good luck

Lemon juice, baking soda or baking powder can also be used for teeth whitening. Strawberries are natural teeth whiteners, simply rub them directly on your teeth or mash into a paste and apply. Apple cider vinegar can also be used for teeth whitening. More remedies and information regarding your teeth at http://useinfo-teethwhitening.blogspot.c

What are some ways to hide crooked teeth?
While I am saving up for braces or cosmetic surgery, what should I do to hide my crooked teeth until then? Would it look ridiculous to bleach my teeth and have nice white crooked teeth? Or will anything help at this point? Does whitening sort of mask the teeth and take away from the fact that they're slightly crooked? I am not totally ashamed of my teeth, I don't have a redneck smile or anything but they could use a little work. Any other recommendations?

What will happen if I use Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking soda for my teeth?
I know that Baking soda is safe to put on my teeth but is Hydrogen Peroxide safe? I heard it`s an easy way to whiten my teeth when I mix it together and brush it on. Will I get any infections or burns on the sides of my cheeks? Or am I supposed to brush the solution on the front part of my teeth. Help me please.
--------------------
If done every day for many years, it will wear away the enamel and then you will have permanently yellowed or grey teeth. You will probably not get infections or burns, just sometimes the gums will be tender with a texture as if they were scraped dry. It cleans the mouth very well though. If you ever get a mouth injury, the peroxide is good for keeping out infection.

Dental Whitening? I have dental work on the front of my front tooth. Will the whitener whiten it too?
Or will I have white teeth and a yellow spot where my dental work is at? And what is the best OTC whitener?
--------------------
Dental work? As in veneers or caps? If that is the answer then nothing will whiten artificial teeth. They have to be white as you desire to start with. You teeth will whiten just fine just not artificial teeth. Crest white strips work very well but sometimes takes more than one box to get the desired color.

Is it safe for a 12 year olod to use arm and hammer bakeing soda to brush there teeth?
Ok my cousin whos 12 wants to whiten her teeth with arm and hammer bakeing soda. What i want to know before she does it is, is it safe. I heard it can take the enamel of your teeth. I mean i don't want that to happen so i want to know before she does it and something happens.
--------------------
well, I am a final year dental student at the moment, and I would say that your cousin should be using a fluoride based over the counter toothpaste, as anything more abrasive is likely to rub away the enamel over time and will lead to sensitivity and discolouration as the softer dentine shines through. At 12, her second molar teeth should be erupting, and so what is important isnt really what she brushes with- it is that she brushes 2x daily for long enough and with good technique to keep her gums and teeth clean. In response to the previous answer DONT, just dont use BLEACH in your mouth. Especially not at this age. It can seriously damage gums, mouths, and also can go through the tooth into the nerve. At 12 she can stop or avoid doing the bad habits that discolour teeth- smoking, tea/coffee/ wine and get into good habits of cleaning.. and so will not need to whiten.
