Does getting your teeth whitened at the dentist hurt?

I've heard it does. How do they whiten them? Are there different ways? If you have stains from your braces, can those stains be removed by getting them whitened?
--------------------
My son and daughter had their teeth whitened from the dentist, they didn't have any troubles, but they were instructed to drink plenty of water!! They have to make mouth trays which they use in the office and then you can take them home to continue using as needed. I have heard that if you have stains from braces that it's hard to get the stains off....Good Luck

how do i naturally whiten my teeth?

my teeth are kinda yellow and gross. i don't want to use any whitening strips or gel and no dentist!
--------------------
To get really bright teeth you have to use a gel or trays that contain a bleaching agent. Natural only methods including oil pulling - swirling sesame or olive oil for a few minutes each morning for 5 minutes and then spitting the oil out. Many people have experienced whiter teeth and improved gum health. Just google oil pulling and you can read for yourself. It sounds crazy but it does work. Other natural ways are baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. The baking soda removes stains, and the hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid with oxidizing properties which acts like a bleaching agent. Some people use strawberries and other fruit- but this is not to be recommended because the acid eats away at the enamel. Finally, people have reported good success with teeth soap for keeping teeth white and clean. Most toothpaste contains glycerin which coats the teeth and prevents re-minerilsation of the enamel. Keeping the tooth surface squeaky clean with soap removes this coating, allows the tooth to re-mineralize and may help whiten the teeth.

Would my teeth become whiter if I used a sundbed at the same time as using Crest Whitestrips?

I know that dentists use UV light in the whitening process and I have a product called Britey Whitez by Fiesta Sun that is used to whiten your teeth as you tan and is activated by the UV light, I wondered if the whitestrips would have the same affect as they have more whhtening ingredient than Britey Whitez!
--------------------
No, the UV light wouldn't be intense enough, nor would it be specific in its projection,ie it wouldn't be concentrated only on your teeth . Maybe when your skin was browner your teeth would look whiter! Not recommending sunbeds though..they are not good for the skin. I'm very surprised someone above advocated this And called themselves a dentist AND doctor!!

Anyone know good ways to whiten teeth?

Anyone know any good affordable products or home remedies that work ?
--------------------
use baking soda infact arm and hammer has a great tooth paste and it whitened my teeth.you could also use crest whitening strips but not too often because it weekens your teeth. and i know this sounds super gross but you should try brushing your teeth with dove soep.it really works after a few weeks you could even look it up it does work.but use that for only your teeth then wash your mouth with toothpaste afterward like you would noramaly do.for some reason the soep gets rid of plaqe better than a toothbrush. also never use salt it eats away at your enamle and drinks .also if you ask this question on google you ind a lot of answers from other peoples yahoo's,you might find my answers are all the same for whitening.oh and too much coffe really is hard on your teeth. in pharmacys they cell these weird mini tooth brushes for people who are on the go.whenever you are done drinking coffi you can brush your teeth with it.good luck
