Teeth whitening?
I can say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others. Our office uses the Supreme which are 4 times stronger than what you can get in the store, but the others will work as well but take more time and possibly more than one kit. I am also hearing that patients like the Aquafresh whitening trays ( http://www.aquafresh.com/whitetrays/....... ). The results are usually pretty quick, noticeable in the first few days, best in a week or longer.If you can, do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar, plaque, or orthodontic cement) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). You should not drink or eat anything dark for at least 1/2 hour after using the strips.


The strips/trays are your least costly whitening method as compared to custom made trays or in office whitening ($500.00+) All of the methods (strips, trays, custom trays, in office whitening) have the potential to make your teeth temporarily sensitive, but will not harm the enamel. If you get sensitive use the product every other day in conjunction with a sensitive tooth toothpaste. You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again.





Good luck!

Reply:my friend did a science project on this in which she tested out various products like crest whitestrips and various toothpastes. she found the best one was arm and hammer whitening toothpaste : i bought a tube of it and it works really well at whitening but I don't know if it's protecting my teeth? I expect it is though.. it says you can go 3 shades whiter in one tube which I think is accurate.
Reply:I've done the teeth whitening thing with professional stuff from the dentist that is suposed to be the best....but...nope! in my opinion the crest white strips are MUCH better and they're not that expensive, they don't hurt your teeth as much (if your teeth are sensative) and they're easy to use. they have 2 kinds a short and long time. the difference is the strength of the whitening stuff on the strips, the short length ones have a lot more power of whitening than the long but in the end they get the job done. I use the longer length ones due to sensative teeth. they're great though, love them and recomend them!
Reply:I found "Arm %26amp; Hammer" whitening toothpaste has worked for me. If you drink black coffee and drink red wine, then like me you suffer from staining.


This toothpaste is more expensive than your regular Aquafresh but totally worth it.
Reply:I used Crest whitening strips and they worked great. I went to the dentist and had professional whitening. They make a mold of your teeth and give you the products - $450. So, you still do it yourself - 1/2 hour each day. The hygenist said that Crest whitening strips are the dentist's choice for over the counter products. The strips worked just as well as the professional whitening. Save your money. Also, my teeth became sensitive with the strips, so I used them every other day.
Reply:I tried the Rembrandt whitening strips that supposedly safely whiten your teeth without harming enamel and they worked wonders for me. They cost a bit more, but I highly recommend Rembrandt products. Don't forget to floss, too. That helps to maintain whiteness.





I also recommend Crest white strips. They work within a week and they actually look decent. But for a three day program where you don't mind a little pain (because it will cause sensitivity), Rembrandt is the brand I'd recommend.
Reply:baking soda
Reply:Over-the-counter whitening treatments mess up your natural tooth enamel so use this easy mixture: Mix Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda in a bowl and then brush with it before you use your normal toothpaste. This will whiten them very brightly! Just make sure you don't swallow it. Good luck!
