my teeth are not yellow, they are just a bit dull from having been in braces for a long time. i certainley would like to make them brighter. do any of the at home whitening things work? in a short period of time? which ones? and also, what has your experience been with whitening procedures done by the dentist? are their different procedures they can perform? and how much do they generally cost? thank you!
--------------------
the dentist usually has two options. 1. whitening in the chair. The dentist applies the whitening solution for you and in an hours time your teeth should be shades lighter. A kit is given you to take home aswell. This procedure is the most expensive, generally 700 - 900 dollars. 2. Whitening Kit. The dentist will give a whitening kit to take home and you can whiten your teeth at home. Impressions will have to be taken to make a bleach tray for you. It will usually cost 400 - 600 dollars. I'm not too sure about products in supermarkets. Some brands have higher ingrediants (not too sure what ingrediant) than others and this can ruin the enamel on your teeth. Toothpastes dont work. Dentists can give you an idea on what its the best for you. remember, if you whiten your teeth be careful what you eat or drink. Foods and drinks can stain easily. You dentist can let you know which ones. And when you do get your teeth whiten, dont expect them to go extremly white. Some people's teeth go 6 shades whiter and others 2 shades lighter. Overall. its best to go to your dentist. If your not happy with the costs ask them about supermarket brands. If they dont know ask what ingrediants to look out for. then you know yourself which ones are better than others also, if your teeth do become sensitive, which is normal, ask your dentist for tooth mousse.You can use sensodyne tooth paste for sensitive teeth but tooth mousse is a better desensitiser and comes in different flavours! i use it and it really works!

Tooth Whitening?
Whats the best way to whiten your teeth so that they actually look white like the people on the toothpaste adverts etc...!!! Is that laser whitening that costs about £250 any good? Any home remedies?
--------------------
The laser whitening that I had done cost around £500 and takes around 1 hour - and it was excellent. I'd be suspicious of it being £250 - very cheap. Make sure you get it done by a well respected dentist. If you have sensitive teeth it will hurt too much to have done, or if you have crowns at the front, they can't be whitened. Dentists can also provide whitening trays to use at home which takes longer.

Is peroxide safe to use to whiten teeth?
should I use it straight or with water?
--------------------
yes it is very safe to use at the most twice a week, if you use it to much it can weaken your enamel. If you are a smoker or coffee drinker you wont see any change in your teeth.

Wht shoul I use to whiten my teeth after braces?
Ok well I'm getting my braces off in 2 days and I'm sooo excited but do you have any good whitening products that I could use after I get my braces off. and what products do u use to whiten your teethI'm soo excited but I want white teeth soo thankss
--------------------
I don't like Crest Whitening Strips because: - they are not long enough to cover all your teeth and most people are usually absolutely ok with that /despite of the fact that back teeth remain yellow and differ from the whitened front teeth - this reveals while laughing/ - they can be easily seen if the person who you are communicating with is close enough - strips can only whiten your teeth's front surface but they can't reach the part of your teeth which remains in the small gaps between them What I recommend you is Miracle White teeth whitening pen / whitening pens are a relatively new teeth whitening technology which is very effective/ as it is easy to use, affordable and simultaneously extremely effective. You will need to use it only 2 times a day for maximum results. Miracle White will whiten your teeth and its use involves application of teeth whitening gel to your teeth which will easily reach teeth's sides. It is totally transparent and can't be seen at all after application. Good Luck! Here you can order it from - whiteningpen.info.

How can i get my teeth VERY white without having to go to the dentist?
I want to have very white teeth they are already pretty whit i just want to perfect them! what whitening strips work best?
--------------------
White strips will get you 1-2 shades lighter, but there's nothing over the counter that will get you professional grade white. It sounds like you only need a touch up, and the crest whitestrips just might be enough for you. When doing it avoid at all costs, black coffee, berries, wine, anything that would stain a white T-shirt while you whiten.

Tooth Whitening after braces and fillings?
i only have 1 filling on a tooth thats visible in my smile, and they made it a bit dark, so if i whiten my teeth that would be noticable, but other than that, what should i use to whiten my teeth? My teeth are KIND of sensitive, but not very. Probably sensitive because of a couple cavities im getting filled. Does strawberries + baking soda work? and is it safe? Also should i try crest whitening strips or anything of that nature? I also found out about Opalescence PF, but i do not have a custom fitted tray. Any ideas would be great!
--------------------
try crest whitening strips, just remember that if your filling is in a front tooth, the uneven color will be very noticeable, but you can always go to the dentist and ask him/her for a lighter filling shade.

Can iMix a little bleach with toothpaste to whiten my teeth.?
I brush my teeth everyday. I have a friend and her teeth are very white and she says she uses a little bleach with her tothpaste everymorning.! Is this unhealthy.?0
--------------------
NO! Chlorine Bleach is toxic. Swishing a toothbrush around in a diluted solution helps to disinfect the bristles. Tooth bleaches use hydrogen peroxide, not chlorine

Is it true that strawberries can make your teeth whiter?
I've tried whitening toothpaste, it worked for a while but now my teeth are going back to their usual colour. Do strawberries work?
--------------------
Hello...Here's the deal...all fruits that have high acidity content can to some degree whiten your teeth. However they do that by eating away at the surface of the teeth....I actually had a patient one time that had been an excessive lemon eater. She liked to slice a lemon in half, sprinkle the surface with salt and slowly suck the juice out of it...After a long time of doing this, the enamel was so damaged that she required Crowns and Veneers...and that was after dealing with several surface decayed areas. My advice is stick to professionally created tooth whiteners. Good luck and I wish you well.

what should i buy to whiten my teeth?
baking soda & hydrogen peroxide? or whitening crest strips? which one works the best? which one even works out of them two? which one is safer? which one is better? which one is quicker? help please! thanx
--------------------
Find the highest hydrogen peroxide content you can find, that's what my dentist said. That being said, I'm in love with Crest Whitening Strips-Supreme. You can buy them full price at the dentist, or get them half off on eBay. Also, I find that for some odd reason, flossing makes my teeth whiter! Plus using Listerine also helps. For a more affordable whitening method, use one of Crest's whitening toothpastes or Listerine's Whitening mouth rinse. It won't give a fast result like in the dentist's office or even the strips, but it'll take you a few shades whiter.

Has anyone whitened their teeth...?
I got something in my school email about teeth whitening supplies. The website seems legitimate, and they are offering a 25 percent off discount to college students. I got the email through a representative that was supposedly at my school...I don't know whether it's legitimate or not... This is the website: www.smarterwhite.com Has anyone used their products or at least heard of the company?

Everyone asks the question. Thankfully, I can help :). A good technique to seriously whiten teeth is ask your dentist for a whitening try. They just take a mold of your teeth and five you these things to fit over them. You go to the store and purchase special whitening solvent anywhere (walmart, grocery store etc) and just squeeze a line of solvent in it. Let it sit in your mouth for the time it says on the box. These benefit of this is that ALL OF YOUR TEETH ARE GETTING WHITENED. If you buy whitening strips, they dont perfect form to your teeth and only whiten the front teeth. The trays cost about $150, but if you do the math, $150 is used forever and $150 with whitening strips issued for about 3 weeks. And you don't even whiten them all! Another extremely cheap (Maybe $2.50 a month) is hydrogen peroxide. It's the main ingredient in all whitening solutions. Put 2 full caps of hydrogen peroxide in your mouth with 2 full caps of water in your mouth (equal amounts). Swish for about 30 seconds in the morning and at night. It does wonders!

Can you get your teeth whitened after braces.?
I will be getting my braces off in a couple months and i want them to be straight and whitened. Even though you wear a retainer after your braces can you still get them whitened? If so how long do they stay white?
--------------------
Of course you can get them whitened - did you think that celebs were born with perfect, straight, white teeth?! :) Teeth whitening can make your teeth sensitive, although no one I know has sensitive teeth and they all got they're teeth whitened after braces. My best friend got her teeth whitened after braces and she looks AWESOME. So, go for it! They will stay white for a long time as long as you take care of them...Hope I helped! :)))

Im 38 and have really yellow teeth. I hate to even smile. I brush my teeth every day and I dont drink coffee,?
wine, and hardly ever tea. Nor do I smoke. I dont understand why my teeth are so yellow. I want to get my teeth whitened but Im wondering if I should make sure there are no other problems in my teeth first, such as a cavity or something. Do those sorts of problems need to be fixed before teeth whitening or can you go ahead and do it first? Also, is it done in one visit or several visits?
--------------------
If you are concerned there may be something wrong with your teeth, get them checked out before you whiten. Unless you're having pain, you probably don't have anything wrong. If this is the case, a Dentist can whiten your teeth in one or two visits. Most of the time, just one visit. But people with severe and/or stubborn stains may need a second visit. Do you know that it costs about 400-500 dollars to get them whitened by a Dentist? You can do it yourself at home in several treatments for a week or two and get them pretty white. If so, there are plenty of effective self whitening kits to choose from. I forget the name, but there's one where you use a blue light after you apply gel to a mouthpiece. This makes the gel work much faster and you can achieve white teeth sooner, in about a week. Whatever you decide, good luck!

How can you whiten your teeth.?
What is the best home made and store bought remedies.
--------------------
Use a toothpaste with whitening such as Crest or Colgate. Also, make sure you floss and rinse with some good mouthwash such as Listerine (some have whitening). For extra whitening, I reccoment whitening strips. My preference is Crest, but you may use any kind. I've also heard of baking soda to whiten teeh, although I'm not totally sure on that. Combine toothpaste, mouthwash, and whitestrips, and daily brushing, then your teeth will get whiter and stay whiter.

I heard Hydrogen Peroxide whitens teeth?
okay i heard this b4 and not a long time ago i looked in our first aid cabinet and saw a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. is this wut ppl are talking about??? or is it something different?
--------------------
The hydrogen peroxide in your medicine cabinet is not strong enough to make a real difference in your teeth. The tooth whitening products that are some commercially have a higher concentration. And the ones the dentist uses are even more concentrated. Still, if you want to try using the peroxide as a mouthwash, it shouldn't be a problem. Some people see some whitening after a week or so, but for most people, it just doesn't do that much good. A better home-made suggestion would be to make a paste out of the peroxide and some baking powder from the grocery store. Then, use that as your toothpaste. That will show some results, because the paste stays right on your teeth while you are brushing, instead of just rinsing away in a couple of seconds. But it still will not be anything close to what you can get from the dentist.

if i use hydrogen peroxide to whiten my teeth, will it hurt me, and will it relly work?
and how would i use it?
--------------------
Yes it would work, and as to it hurting you, well... it wouldn't cause permanent damage (dont swallow it)- it is the key ingredient in any tooth whitener. However, the catch is that in tooth whitener, the hydrogen peroxide is very diluted. And using tooth whiteners can cause a lot of sensitivity, as it opens up the pores on your teeth. So if you used it undiluted, it would open them way up, making your teeth be SUPER sensitive. Breathing drinking, etc, would all likely hurt. It wouldn't last forever, but I wouldn't recommend it, personally. You can dilute with something and sit there and hold it in your mouth, but you wont be able to accurately know that you are diluting enough. I would say just spend the money to do it properly.

anyone used baking soda to whiten/brush teeth?
I met a girl that had amazingly bright white teeth. She told me she brushed with baking soda daily and then regular tooth paste. I tried it and wow!! My teeth feel amazingly clean but wondering if it will eat at my tooth enamel. And wonder if it will really whiten over time. Anyone tried this and no anything about it?

Baking soda is safe to use on your teeth. :) It's the main ingredient in most Arm & Hammer toothpastes because of its ability to whiten so well.
