Dental Bridge + teeth whitening question too.?

Hi, I'm still in the process of determining if I should get a dental bridge. I did lose a front tooth, and I'd like to ask anyone out there in YahooAnswersLand that might have lost a front tooth and gotten a bridge: Question : Can you tell the difference, with a dental bridge, that it's not your own tooth? This is hard to put into words, but does it feel normal, once you get the bridge in, or does it feel strange? I know I'd have to be careful with it, and floss it all around, forever. Question #2.. What about teeth whitening? Has anyone out there had their teeth whitened, and if so, which method is the best ? I saw on the Net that I can send for the same basic system the dentist will use, for about 1/3rd the price.. But I don't know what strength of solution to buy? 16%, 22 % or 40 %, or the potential damage it could do to my teeth vis a vie sensitivity? Is there an on line whitening site that you trust? Thanks everyone...

Well, i dont have a bridge.. BUT i will tell you, what i do know about both questions, seeing how i'm a Dental Assistant/Tech of 14+ years now. 1st... No, no one can tell..IF you get the right type of bridge. Since its a front tooth, DO NOT get a PFM (porcelain fused to metal). The metal shows through after time, and it looks like you have a black line around your gum tissue. GET.. a ALL porcelain bridge. Theres no metal, to show through. There fore it looks natural. People will never know the difference unless you tell them. As far as the feel.. it will feel strange till you get use to it. You have a tooth missing, a bridge fills the spot, of course its going to feel different. Will it be uncomfortable? NO... you wont even notice its there. 2nd... In office use of Peroxide is around 25%. But thats for the professional use, that we do in office. Not the stuff, we give you to take home. Its a high percentage, and you need professional / trained people in this procedure to do it right as so, NO damage is done to the gum tissue. IT CAN/ WILL burn the gum tissue, if not applied properly and carefully. We're trained to do this the 'right' way. After we bleach in the office we give patients 'take home' kits, that have no more than 12% Peroxide. Why, so low? Because of exactly what i said before... YOU can cause damage to your gum tissue if not applied properly. WE make 'customized' bleaching trays to fit your mouth/teeth PERFECTLY to the very T. As so the gel doesnt run out of the tray and come in contact with your tissue. Hope that helps... Use your own judgement, on whatever you do JUST... Be careful.

Teeth whitening HELP.?

Hii :] I NEED to have white teeth by next month. Can you tell me home remedies for whitening or the best and quickest kind of whitening you can get at the store ? && how long does whitening usually take to see a big difference ?
--------------------
Here are eight helpful guidelines for you: 1. Brush your teeth on a regular basis, use the dental floss. This way you will protect the teeth from cavities and plaque, and also such things as tartar. You will not only avoid these problems, but will make your teeth great-looking! 2. Keep away from fluoride, this substance will blemish your teeth color. Fluoride can be in water and in toothpaste, so pay attention to this fact when you choose the suitable product. 3. Keep away from smoking, and drink less tea or coffee. These are coloring drinks, your teeth will lose their whiteness when you drink much of them. 4. There is a number of products, which will cause stains on your teeth, some veggies and fruits also can produce such effect. Nobody urges you to stop eating them, just make sure to brush your teeth later. 5. Do you know about whitening effect of some fruits? This is a well-known thing, but if you are still not aware of it, take into consideration that orange peel can be good for this purpose. If you polish your teeth with this mash, you will see later the difference. It is also possible to make a paste of orange peel and leaves of sweet bay for brushing with this paste. Another good recipe consists of lemon juice and salt. 6. Baking soda is great natural teeth whitening means! Plenty of toothpastes made soda their ingredient because of its efficiency. We do not ask you to purchase paste of this kind. Make a combination of baking soda, salt and vinegar in addition to it and you receive an excellent means to overcome your cosmetic defect. 7. Pay special attention to the choice of mouthwash. The majority of them contains alcohol, others contain chlorhexidine which at times does not let your teeth remain white. 8. There are plenty of products for teeth whitening such as Alta White teeth whitening powder which is great, i've seen some good reviews about this product, they also provide a free trial. noticeably whiter & brighter teeth in only 6 days!

FYI: Skip the "teeth whitening" scams...?

Have you seen where someone will say that they ordered two free trial of teeth whitening systems? At the end, they'll charge your card, even if you try to cancel, so do NOT do it. Anyone have any GOOD advice on bleaching teeth? I've heard baking soda and peroxide. Anybody else?

Crest whitening strips. Worked for me, but kills your enamel.

I ordered a product called "Ivory White" for teeth whitening but it didn't come with directions.?

Does anyone know how to use this product? It came with two trays and a syringe.
--------------------
I would suggest you call the customer service number and either ask them to send you written directions or have someone there who is knowledgeable about the product answer your questions. To avoid gum irritation and sensitivity you need to know how much of the product to apply and how long to leave it on your teeth. Definitely give them a call ASAP.
