Teeth Whitening?

Does it make your teeth really sensitive?





And what is the best/most efficient brand?

Teeth Whitening?
well i have sensitive teeth to begin with.


there are SO many products out there.


gum, etc really does nothing.





i recommend Crest White Strips.. the 14 day (there's also 3 day if youre in a hurry or 7 day.. whatever floats your boat)





i tried Walgreens (i think it was ) brand of the whitening trays/paste and it stained my teeth all blotchy....! DO NOT USE!





the strips are great. my teeth actually are a little sore right now lol and i wore em yesterday afternoon.





but its worth it to me for a white smile. XD





good luck!


lemme know if you have any more Q's!





[please rate this best answer if you found it helpful! thanks]
Reply:I used the Crest whitestrips and I thought they worked great. My teeth were noticably whiter..well worth the money.





My teeth did get a little sensitive, but it wasn't bothersome for me. Others have had different experiences. If you're worried about experiencing teeth sensitivity, you could use a toothpaste like Sensodyne for 1-2 weeks before you start the whitening, and you shouldn't have any problems at all.





Also, you're supposed to use them twice a day for 15 minutes. If you experience sensitivity, you could use them just once a day, but obviously it'll take twice as long to whiten your teeth.
Reply:keeping teeth whiter is to be able to choose teeth whitening system that has quality ingredients that can deliver safe and effective whiter teeth results in just a matter of time. also, be aware that stained teeth are caused by the food you eat and the drinks that you take in during a meal.





the lists of the most common culprits that can stain teeth includes colas, coffee, tea, chocolates, sauces, plum, red wine, etc. sometimes it would be better to use straw when drinking colas and iced tea. for more tips on how to whiten teeth visit http://www.maximumteethwhitening.com

Laser Tooth Whitening Systems


These systems generally require an application of gel which is activated by either light, a single or even two different types of lasers. Such systems are:





LaserSmile™ Laser Whitening System (Biolase): A purple gel is applied to one to several teeth at a time, then the dental damn gel which will protect your gums is applied. After these applications are complete, laser light is then applied to the teeth for as little as 2 minutes collectively for the average whitening cases. Most visits require 2 hours of treatment time.


PEARLINBRITE™ Laser Whitening System: This system utilizes Energy Transfer Crystals , or ETC’s. ETC’s actually absorb the laser’s energy and transfers the energy to the hydrogen peroxide molecules of the gel. This whitens the stains in your teeth with oxygen on a much higher level that typical carbamide peroxide gels. Usually several applications, lasting up to 30 seconds, per each tooth is needed per session. However, only one session is usually sufficient in most whitening cases. Most visits require 30 minutes of treatment time.


BriteSmile™ 3000 Laser Whitening System: This system uses a 15% hydrogen peroxide gel application in conjunction with gel plasma light technology. Application may take up to 20 minutes on average; the gel is then exposed to the light which speeds the whitening process by exciting the hydrogen peroxide molecules. After the light exposure, the gel is left on the teeth for a little over an hour.


There are more Laser Whitening Systems, please check with your dentist for other options including professional teeth whitening done in the office..
