Naturally whitening your teeth?

Iv heard that you can whiten your teeth with baking soda or something like that.Does anyone know exactly how this is done.Can you help and explain so i can do it?Thanks
--------------------
baking soda is a natural abrasive. By dipping a wet toothbrush in baking soda and then brushing your teeth you will gently remove stains. if you do this be careful not to brush your gums, the abrasive will irritate your gums

I love green tea. How can I naturally whiten my teeth from the stains.?

I am against using bleaching whitening products. I would rather take off the stain than cover it up. Also, I have strong teeth, and I don't want to use anything that would weaken my enamel. (I want to keep my teeth strong. Why mess up a good thing. I am lucky to have no cavities so far, at 20).
--------------------
Baking soda. Pour about a spoonful of baking soda into your hand, and brush your teeth with that. Also, try sipping your tea with a straw. It will pass over your teeth and will not stain them.

Do Aquafresh White Trays hurt or make your teeth sensitive?

I'm thinking about getting Aquafresh White Trays but I'm wondering if they hurt like other tooth whitening products do or if they make your teeth really sensitive. Anyone who's used them, I'd like to know how they worked for you and what was your experience with them. Thanks!
--------------------
use them if you have all the time in the world. If you want to save some some time for other work, get a power bleach of your teeth for tooth whitening, which is a single sitting procedure, requires only 1 hr time at a dental office and has predictable results. whitening is carried out by activating 20% h2o2 gel with high intensity plasma arc light or with LED lights.

"Teeth-Whitening" Chewing gum?

We've all seen the adverts on Tv, or the packets in the shops. http://www.tridentgum.com/#/products/whi… etc.... But does it actually work? They all say they're scientifically proven to, but where is the evidence, Where is the PDF on this experiment to be found? And for all the dentists out there, do you find that the patients who chew these gums have whiter teeth?
--------------------
Scientifically proven, but probably on a very minute scale. Chewing gum cannot give you the results that professional whitening products will give you.

Question about teeth whitening gel...?

After you apply the gel to your teeth, can you close your mouth? Or do you have to keep your moth open and your teeth bared for the few minutes the gel has to stay on?
--------------------
What kind of gel are you using and does it say that you can just apply it to the teeth without a tray. Some gels can cause irritation to your gums depending on the concentrations of the chemicals. I am guessing that you got this product at a local store instead of a concentration that a dentist would supply to you. You can apply it to your teeth and close your mouth. If you start to notice any irritation to your gums, then you would need to think about getting a professional tray or even using a mouth guard from a store. They have some that you can put in hot water so that it will mold to the shape of your teeth.

is there any natural ways to whiten teeth?

i would like to try whitening my teeth naturally at home but have know idea how and please no obvious joke like toothpaste or brush ya teeeth thanks. any genuine help would be very apprecated thank you x
--------------------
Teeth are not naturally as white as the advertising would have you believe. They are mostly bone white which is a an off color shade of white(slightly towards brown). Why some peoples teeth seem whiter than others may be more to do with the contrasting background (skin color being darker). Not saying your teeth are not porous. They will absorb stains such as tea, coffee, kool-aid and bleaching chemicals. So, if you abstain from the staining chemicals and have a healthy diet (low on sugar and decent amount of calcium it is about the best you can do for your teeth, besides regular brushing. They used to use baking soda and salt in the olden days instead of toothpaste and use that for cleaning. But it is a very slow process. Faster to get some teeth paint and paint them white.

If you have had your teeth whitened, how long did it last?

I had my teeth whitened a few weeks ago and I'd like it to last for at least, over a year (or even more...) But is that possible?
--------------------
Depends on how you had your teeth whitened. Crest White Strips, or did a dentist do it. You'll probably still have some effects after a year, but by then it won't be anywhere near as white as they probably are now. You can keep 'em whiter longer by... using a whitening toothpaste. not drinking coffee or dark soda not using any kind of tobacco product having your teeth cleaned every 3-6 months

How do I use baking soda to whiten my teeth?

Like do I add water and brush it on?help :(..i want fast results!
--------------------
get your brush wet then you put baking soda on it... brush your teeth, i would fast though because it has a horrible taste. also flase your teeth and use after mouth wash if you can use pre wash.. it's mouth wash you use for 1 minute before you brush your teeth it works amazingly well.. it too tastes funny.

Where does the tooth whitening queen, Cathy Anselmo, live?

Who is Cathy Anselmo and where does she live? It says she lives in Mount Vernon Ohio but I'm skeptical. Does it say she lives in whatever town the reader lives in? I saw on a search where someone on MySpace said she lives in DesMoines IA.but I couldn't get the forum to come up.
--------------------
I guess this answers your question. I was looking at her "blog" and it showed that she lived in Franklin, NC which is where I am from. That made me very skeptical as well. The blog and the replies are all a hoax. Never buy something or get a "free trial" if you are skeptical and in doubt.

--------------------
Home remedies don't really work well. They have that ZOOM whitening thing at certain dentists. It is about $299. Check it out.

Im young, how can I whiten my teeth?

Im in the 8th grade and I JUST got my braces off! So obviously, I can't stop smiling! No body's said anything, but I can't help but feeling my teeth aren't as white as they should be. They aren't yellow, more like an off white. I brush my teeth AT LEAST 10 times a day (blech!) and my mom got me Arm and Hammer Whitening...stuff. It doesn't seem to work. I would like to get my teeth whitened, but that's expensive. I wanna get them done in the mall, but my mom thinks that's tacky (WTF?). I looked at other people who asked similar questions and a lot of people said Crest White Strips. My parents tried this, and it seemed to work a little bit. They said it hurts a little and I don't know if my dentist wants me to use it. Id just like a fast working tip that I can try AT HOME. Id love something that works quickly or a product. Please answer I have a BIG photo shoot coming up and I need my teeth whiter. You can maybe get the ten points if yours is the best, THANKS! <3
--------------------
brush your teeth with baking soda twice a day... it tastes bad but give it 4 or 5 days and youll have pearly whites and actually i think rembrandt came out with a 2 hour tray treatment thats only like $25 they should sell it at walmart or walgreens or something like it

4 months ago i had my teeth whitened at the dentist but carried on smoking, my teeth have gone yellow again?

I have since stopped smoking and would like to whiten my teeth again. since ive only had it dont recently the stains are surely just superficial so will an over the counter product work to remove these new stains in the last 4 months and restore my teeth to the white they were after the dentist whitened them Thanks for any answers!
--------------------
There are toothpastes out there that have gradual whitening capabilities, which won't be as tough on the enamel of your teeth. Remember, with enamel, once it is gone, it is gone. You can't get it back. The use of OTC whitening products can soften and eat away at the natural enamel of your teeth, causing increased sensitivity and actually promoting tooth decay, rather than preventing it. PlusWhite makes a toothpaste for coffee drinkers and smokers whose capabilities are supposed to be rather good. I would try something like that, or like it was mentioned earlier, see your dentist for another treatment, or other options.

Is there any way to whiten my teeth that works?

I really need someone to tell me a method of whitening their teeth that worked on them. If you come up with an answer, be sure to put in the method that you used and how long it took to whiten your teeth.
--------------------
Bleaching and Zoom work great! Capping if your teeth are really messed up. Cheapest is getting trays and bleach from your dentist. My teeth were orange and are now so white everyone asks what I do! I did bleaching and Zoom. Zoom took 1 hour and made my teeth sensitive but worked really well. A lot of dentists offer free Zoom to move to their practice. If not, you can find it for a few hundred bucks. Bleaching took about two weeks to see a huge difference but it has lasted for over 6 months now and I only did one touch-up since. Zoom lasts for years and years depending on coffee, wine and tomato sauce consumption.

How can you whiten your teeth in a healthy safe way?

Do the Colgate whitening toothpastes or anything with whitening on its label actually work? is there a good way to whiten your teeth naturally?
--------------------
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. 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://www.freeteethwhiteningsamples.com… - Its the first top product listed there. 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 :-)

Does it matter if I get whitening before or after getting veneers?

My main goal in life right now is to fix what I'm most self-concious about: my teeth. My two current aims are getting my teeth whitened and getting veneers to fill in the of the gaps and improve their overall shape. My query is whether it would matter which I had done first? Would I even be able to get whitening after veneers? Would it be best to match the veneers colour to the whitened teeth? Any advice on this, or on their prices would be great! Thanks, Jonathan
--------------------
I would say your best off choosing the colour of your veneers before getting your teeth bleached , therefore when you have your veneers fitted you can match their colour by bleaching the rest of your teeth

whitening teeth?

can anybody tell me some home remedies to whiten your teeth?
--------------------
well i just started doing this for like only 4 days, and i've already seen the difference. it really works and its not bad for your teeth. all you do is buy a bottle of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, make sure its not 100% hydrogen peroxide. that is bad. but ya 3% hydrogen peroxide. brush your teeth first then take one cap full and swish it around just as you would mouth wash for 1 minute. and spit it out. but dont rinse it out yet. wait 1 more minute. then you can rinse. do this twice a day. it works great and its not bad for your teeth at all. and it works amazingly. and the bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide is only 52 cents at walmart. and it actually says that its used as a mouth wash on the back on the directions. and i have a little cup in my bathroom with just enough 3% hydrogen peroxide to cover the head of my tooth brush and when your done brushing just put it in there instead on your tooth brush holder or w/e. it cleans all germs and adds the whitening-nes to the tooth paste when you brush. hope i helped out!
