Teeth Whitening..?
i used crest white strips premium and they worked great for me
Reply:My fiance uses the Crest White Strips and they work very well but they don%26#039;t maintain the whiteness for a long time, you have to keep up with them. We%26#039;ve recently started using the Aquafresh Extreme Clean toothpaste with whitener. It%26#039;s very foamy and I have really seen a difference in our teeth!
I%26#039;ve also heard eating lemons helps!! I don%26#039;t know your fondness for sour treats though...:-)
Reply:Crest White strips.
Reply:i got the zoom whitening thing done at my dentist. they use a combo of hydrogen peroxide and ultra violet light. it takes about an hour. the uv is in 3 15 minute sessions. it hurts like a son of a b*tch but it totally works. my teeth are dramatically whiter. now all i have to do is maintain the whiteness with occasional home treatments.
most of the home remedies like white strips don%26#039;t work if your teeth are not pretty white already. they just maintain the status quo. you need like a deep cleaning.
i recommende the zoom. it was $300. just beware of the possible pain involved.
oh, and use a regular white tooth paste like crest of colgate. don%26#039;t use the gel kind. the paste usually has more grit in it to remove tartar and plaque buildup that causes dingy looking teeth.
Reply:whitening strips are good for temp whitening not for maintenance. teeth bleaching from the dentist will last longer. whitening tooth paste is the weakest of the 3 at whitening but can help to maintain it. Its possible for both to make your teeth sensitive
Reply:in maintaining white teeth all you need is this very helpful site http://www.maximumteethwhitening.com this can give you useful information about how to get effective white teeth that can have dramatic effect on your life. hope this will help a lot.
Reply:Here is a ballpark cost range for what a dentist might charge for a single professional teeth whitening treatment. In some cases more than one treatment might be needed.
$600 to $2000
Some dentists feel that their in-office bleaching treatments should be followed up with the use of an at-home whitener. If so, you can expect that there will be an additional cost for this additional treatment.
A patient%26#039;s costs might lie at the lower end of the price range stated above in those instances where a significant portion of the treatment process is performed by a staff member rather than solely the dentist. As another consideration, those dentists who incorporate an %26quot;activation%26quot; light or laser into the whitening process will have higher equipment costs than those who don%26#039;t. These dentists will need to charge a relatively higher fee for their whitening treatments.
All whitening products contain peroxide either as carbamide peroxide (CP) or hydrogen peroxide (HP). Peroxide dissolves the organic stains in the tooth to change the color and produce a whitened effect.
There are four types of peroxide-containing tooth whitening products available:
* In-practice products are applied by a dental professional. These products contain a high percentage of CP or HP and are applied directly to the teeth. Some activated by heat, light, or laser. This may be the product for you if you%26#039;re in a hurry for whiter teeth and you don%26#039;t have tooth sensitivity. For very dark-colored teeth, the whitening process can be sped up in two to three hours followed by a take-home product until the desired whiteness is achieved.
* A take-home product supervised by a dentist is the most popular whitening method. These products contain a lesser percentage of CP or HP than in-practice products and are worn in a tray overnight or during the day at home. A custom-fitted tray is made to hold the whitening product directly against the teeth while lessening its contact with the gums. Some products have fluoride added to help prevent or treat mild tooth sensitivities. The typical stains of ageing will whiten in seven to fourteen days when the tray is worn overnight.
* Over-the-counter (OTC) whitening products contain a small percentage of HP or CP. Caution should be used with these products as many contain an acidic solution that can wear away tooth enamel. OTC products use a bulky, one-size-fits-all tray to hold the product. Usually more product is swallowed than stays in the tray because of the trays poor fit against the teeth. It can take up to six months and the purchase of several kits to get whiter teeth. Flexible strips coated with whitening gel have recently been introduced as an OTC at-home tooth whitening method. The strips are worn on the front teeth and folded over to keep them in place. Results are reported to be noticeable after fourteen days and effective for 6 months.
* Over-the-counter whitening toothpastes contain a small percentage of HP, CP, or polishing ingredient. The toothpastes are effective in keeping teeth cleaner and whiter looking but some may be very abrasive. The harsh abrasive will wear away the enamel with repeated use gradually making the teeth look yellow. Whitening toothpastes remove surface stains and prevent new stains from building up. Whitening toothpastes however aren%26#039;t in contact with the teeth long enough to remove internal stains. Ask your dentist about the safety and cavity protection of specific toothpastes before you buy.
