Teeth whitening?

What are a couple ways of getting whiter teeth? and what are the ups and downs of them?

Teeth whitening?
Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others. Our office uses Crest Supreme which are much stronger than what you can buy in a drugstore and don't cost that much more ($60.00 vs $30.00). You can purchase the drugstore version, but do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar or plaque) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). The strips are probably your best low price alternative, much less than in office whitening or custom trays (about $500.00). I am also hearing happy reviews with the Aquafresh whitening trays, unlike the strips they don't have the tendency to slip or move). 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. 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. You should see results within the first week if not sooner.





Good luck!

Reply:Use a teeth whitening kit which can be found at a local drug store.





The pros of using teeth whitening kits are that they get whiter lol!! The cons are that they can wear away at the enamel if left on the teeth too long, so be sure to leave it on for the appropriate amount of time.





Some ways to avoid getting yellow teeth is to not drink coffee or sodas or drink it with a straw.
