I fell asleep wearing my whitening trays for my teeth! What do I do???

I was only supposed to wear them for 45 minutes, but I fell asleep and woke up 2 hours after I was supposed to take them out. My teeth feel SO sensitive now! They feel like cold ice has hit them...but it's been constantly like that overnight! I contacted AquaFresh, but am not sure what to do in the meantime! I took pain relievers, but that was 3 hours ago & they still feel awful! HELP!!
--------------------
Go buy some sensodyne toothpaste and use that when brushing your teeth. Dont worry about it. Also buy some fluoride rinse such as ACT brand. Use it every night after brushing, before bedtime. Dont drink or eat after using the ACT rinse. It will help reduce sensitivity and strengthen your teeth again. Also the sensitive toothpaste by sensodyne will help reduce sensitivity. For a few weeks dont drink soda (or use a straw) and stay away from any acidic foods like oranges and lemons.

Best teeth whitener for very sensitive teeth?

I have tried using various white strips (the old crest white strips, listerine, and colgate supreme) and a couple whitening trays but with everyone after the first treatment my teeth become sensitive and on the second i get VERY painful shocks in my teeth which i think is from the nerves. I dont know what the problem is but i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. P.S. i use sensodyne religiously and it works great just not when i try to whiten my teeth.
--------------------
There are many teeth whitening from home systems and it worth to try best products. To not spend money ,some offer risk free trial, like Idol White Teeth Whitening (highly recommended) or Alta White Teeth Whitening systems (see the source box site for more details).In this way you can test if this really works for your teeth. Use baking soda one time each week (not more to not destroy your enamel). Hope this helps !

How do you whiten teeth with braces? =]?

I just got my braces in October of 09 and i have really been wanting to get my teeth whiter so they look good when i get my braces off! Write back please! thannkkss
--------------------
You really can't whiten teeth while your braces are still on, but make sure to brush, floss, and mouthwash regularly. (They'll look better when your braces are removed.) When you get your braces off, most dentists will ask if you want them whitened immediately. This can be expensive, but it's effective. Otherwise, I use Creststrips Whitening and get compliments all the time. They're super easy to apply and have quick results. Hope this helps! :)

What ways can you whiten your teeth?

I'm looking for answers from people who actually tried any kind of method and their results.
--------------------
I use Simply White. They have a pre-rinse and a tray that holds the gel you're supposed to use to whiten your teeth. It took me less than 3 days to notice my teeth were much whiter. Now I only have to use the Simply White for touch-ups. They have the cheapest whitener on the market where I live, but it is very effective. After trying it, I wouldn't switch to another. Just follow package directions for a whiter, brighter smile!

What happens if you use whitening toothpaste and you have a filling?

I might need to get a filling in one of my front teeth, so it will be on display for everyone to see. I am really nervous about this and I'm scared it is going to be noticeable. If I use whitening toothpaste will it just whiten everything except the filling and make the filling noticeable?
--------------------
Whitening toothpaste will not whiten fillings, crowns, etc. Since you'll probably be getting ceramic or tooth-colored fillings, it won't be noticeable. If your teeth do become noticeably whiter and the filling starts showing, your dentist would be able to fix it if you are really uncomfortable with it being like that. Hope this helps!:)

what is the best and fastest way to whiten teeth?

without going to the dentist.
--------------------
Crest white strips worked well for me, I used the 7 day versus the 14 day ones. Do not use the ones that dissolve, they whiten your teeth for about a month and then they will just go back to the way they were.

Is it possible to whiten my teeth even if i have braces?

Whats the best & fastest way? i toothbrush already, but i want my teeth to be whiter faster...
--------------------
I would not use any whitener or bleech products on your teeth if you have braces and heres why: Orthodontists use special cement to glue the braces onto your teeth. This cement is impermeable to chemicals or water - meaning the spaces that the braces cover on your teeth will not be affected by the bleach. So, it will make the whole tooth white for now, until you take your braces off and find a little slightly yellowish square on every tooth where your braces used to be. For now, brush with good toothpast 2-3 times a day, floss, use mouthwash, and stay way from dark fluids (cola, coffee) or excessive candy or sugar.

What is the best whitening system/toothpaste for a budget?

I want to try to get my teeth looking a little better this school year, but I'm on a really really strict budget and have no dental care, so no professional cleaning/whitening for me. Do any of the whitening systems or toothpastes work? If so which ones, and how much do they usually cost? I've been told that Ultrabrite is good.
--------------------
I've used the Crest 3D Whitening system. You can buy the box of whitening strips which lasts 2 weeks for about $30. You can buy the toothpaste and mouth wash if you want but it's not really necessary. I went to my dentist to get my teeth whitened but they had me try this method first to save me money. They actually took pictures of my teeth before and after and the results were amazingggg. According to the dentist's shade stick, my teeth whitened up to 3 shades! They were SO happy with the results and so was I :) I recommend it. It works well. It's 30 minutes a day for two weeks. Not bad at all!

natural tooth whitening?

I am looking for a natural way to whiten my teeth that won't cause tooth sensitivity. I tried white strips but they irritated my mouth. help please!
--------------------
mix a small solution of baking soda and peroxide (make it pastey)....Follow up w/ normal brushing just to get the gross taste of the soda/peroxide mixture. The peroxide turns into oxygen and water. During this phase, some foaming occurs. This foaming action accomplishes 2 things: it breaks down the film growing on your teeth. It also uncovers previously hidden places where bacteria live. Then, when you brush your teeth, your toothpaste is more effective. There are multiple benefits to using baking soda. It is mildly abrasive. This means it will scrub your teeth without doing any damage. It also kills the micro-organisms that can cause gum and mouth disease. Lastly, it can neutralize acids that contribute to the damaging stuff that forms on your teeth, i.e., plaque. Baking soda and peroxide can give you a cheap, safe way to keep your teeth white over time.

How can I whiten my teeth?

How can i whiten my teeth on my own?

What do you recommend, how do i use it and how effective is it?
--------------------
Brush 2x a day with pure baking soda. OR, you can go to an health/organic store and find a toothpaste whose main ingrediant is baking soda, but also has natural peppermint or whatever in it so it doesn't taste like shet. If you do that, and avoid teeth staining beverages (coffee, tea, soda), your teeth should start significantly appearing whiter.

How can I whiten my teeth w/o buying anything expensive?

I use Colgate or Auquafina toothpaste (depending on my mom's or dad's house), I floss in the mornings, and occasionally use mouthwash. If I do use mouthwash, It's either listerine or store-brand fry's (again depending on my mom's or dad's house). I cant change what they buy and i'd rather not spend my money. I heard u can use baking soda? Can someone give me ideas.
--------------------
I wante dto do that also, and I bought the toothpastes that said whitenner, but I want to share with you the faults so you have a chance before doing what I did. I kept getting pain in my gums-I've never had anything wrong with my teeth in my life-no cavitees ever, no braces, nodda. I go see the dentist and they tell me that whitenner causes the nerves to start showing up above the gumlines. Those nerves never go back inside. It's painful when it acts up. I now have to buy sensodyne. ouch. so just remember when you try any chemicals that are burning the yellows off teeth, they will also burn the gums slowly. I didn't even have anything I should have been worying about-so if you don't either, I'd say skip it.
