Poor woman seeks advice on teeth whitening ?

I have been to my dentist today and have been advised to use


pola night teeth whitening to whiten my teeth


as this treatment is very, very effective, they


told me pola night would make me look like


a model, however...





Does anyone know how I can whiten my teeth without


using this dental bleach as I am on income support and


can not afford this treatment from them as they


told me to buy this pola night teeth whitening


will set me back £290, I would love to try this


polanight teeth whitening product but can not afford it


from my dentist.





Does anyone have an answer: How I can whiten


my teeth at home without paying out any money ??





Please help me, as I need some teeth whitening


as I have very bad teeth stains as I have been


eating too many take aways, ( curry and piza most nights etc..),


plus my 60 aday cigs and my 5 bottles of red wine wine that I get from m%26amp;s.


does make my teeth look rather yellow.





Please do offer me some advice on how


my teeth can look white again without buying these


products as I am on very low income support, not to mention that I have


6 children to feed etc and this does not come cheap !





Its about time they did MY teeth whitening FREE on the NHS !








Thanks from Kelly





P.S - I cant wait to hear from you all, with your tips, advice and answers

FIRST QUIT SMOKING AND QUIT DRINKING. AND THEN TRY BAKEING SODA. FORM A PASTE WITH IT AND THEN BRUSH.
Reply:Never use a wire brush on your teeth or anywhere near your mouth,and you must not use ajax. use a firm toothbrush and the baking soda,but not too long the baking soda will remove layers form your teeth and that is not always good. Report It

Reply:Crest Whitening strips, available in grocery stores. Also, at home remidies can include mashed up strawberries, you can also brush like normal, dip your toothbrush into hydrogen peroxide and brush again, or I have heard that Baking Soda can whiten also, but I dont know how.
Reply:smile :)
Reply:Give up the 3 packs a day and 5 bottles a day habits and you'll have the money for your whitening and your 6 kids will eat better to.
Reply:Baking soda and water.
Reply:The least expensive way to naturally whiten your teeth is baking soda. Of course it's not yummy, but it works. Just keep a small box in your bathroom, and dip your wet toothbrush in some baking soda and brush with it twice a day. Don't substitute for toothpaste. You'll notice a difference, even though it won't be as drastic and fast as expensive treatments. Let me know how it works for you! My sister showed me!
Reply:OK here is how i keep my teeth white. i brush each morning with aqua fresh toothpaste, several times a day i repeat this process, then just before i go to bed i give my teeth a final brush with bicarbonate of soda, the taste is not very pleasant but the results are good. give it a go, it only cost 45p a tub of bi-carbonated soda.
Reply:No dentist that I know of in the UK would recommend such a product for teeth whitening. Either you are a foreigner posting on UK and Ireland aswers or you are not telling the truth.





UK dentists will offer you two types of whitening - neither of which is self-administered.





The NHS is obliged to make sure your mouth is healthy - not that you look good.





If you want to look good then here is the harsh truth:





Don't smoke


don't drink red wine


limit tea and coffee


brush with a whitening toothpaste at least twice a day


floss twice a day


use a fluoride mouthwash





P.S. Ajax are a Spanish football team
Reply:if your on low income support you shouldnt be having cigarettes and wine and pizza. give up that stuff and you might have the money for whitening your teeth. tooth wightening is a cosmetic thing...it doesnt benefit you in anyway.





How could you take legal action against your dentist? Tooth whitening isnt a necessary procedure and it isnt paid for in most places. Here in Canada was pay for our own unless you have insurance to cover it. Yellow teeth doesnt harm you. It just doesnt look nice so no dentist will pay for your teeth whitening so you can feel better. I get really tired of people trying to get everything for free these days. Do what I do and work for the things you want. If you cant afford them then too bad.
Reply:Ajax is a household scouring powder and poisonous! There is a great whitening product for about £5 available at supermarkets or chemist called bright white. The inside of a lemon skin is also a very effective tooth whitener.





Have you considered spending your income support on something other than 60 fags or takeaways and wine?? Like maybe a tooth whitening treatment.
Reply:Please be careful. Baking soda is fine, but don't overdo it - once a day for a week would be fine, but no more than once a week thereafter. It can damage your teeth.





Bleach or hydrogen peroxide can be VERY DANGEROUS! In the best case scenario, you will only lose your teeth - in the worst, go to emergency with severe burns!!! Dont' experiment with these!!!





Baking soda or over-the-counter home teth whitening products are the only two at home options.
Reply:first off if you dont give up the cigs, and alcohol then you will always be re-whitening your teeth! second giving up on those 2 bad habits will also help you and your children live a lot better. as for actual whitening......i agree with the first answer. i personally used and still use from time to time crest whitestrips...they take 7 days per top and 7 more per bottom to whiten. my teeth are near blinding white against my tan body, i couldnt be happier! the product is quite cheap and very simple to use. another option you have is taking peroxide and baking soda and putting them together and making a paste and placing it on your top or bottom row. not both at the same time! applying to both front and back of your teeth and leaving it on for about 30-45 minutes for quick results within about 1-1/2 weeks, best done at night. Or 10-20 minutes for 2-4 weeks improvement....just really depends on how much you can tolerate the paste in your mouth. To remove it simply brush your teeth with water and a whitening toothpaste of some kind. i rec'd colgate whitening, or aquafresh whitening with floruide. all very cheap and all house hold items. make sure you stay away from caffeine, coffee, smoking, drinking, and always brush your teeth about 1 hour after this procedure. Good Luck and i hope that you have a beautiful white smile in no time.


Oh and just a quick tip....smoking causes cancer, drinking causes liver disease-think about your 6 children!
Reply:brush with baking soda rinse with water then swish with peroxide for about two minutes . repeat weekly this will make your pearls white in a few weeks i have never heard of or had a problem with peroxide that guy who said you may lose your teeth does not know what he is talking about they make tooth paste with peroxide .
Reply:You could use baking soda if your on income support as this may help get your teeth cleaner ?.





I feel very sad for you having 6 kids on a low budget and not been able to afford this treatment, you should tell your dentist that you are in urgent need of this treatment as you feel very very depressed, You might get a discount on this pola night teeth whitening stuff ? who knows ?? he may do it for FREE !





I too have children and I know what its like to be a mum and you do deserve a nice white smile after looking after 6 kids, I feel very sorry for you on such a low income, You should also ask for more money in benefits as it seems that you must not be getting enough, try asking your local benefits office again and tell them that this treatment should be available to you on the nhs as you have 6 kids to feed plus yourself.. I hope you get this sorted out, in the meantime try some baking soda this should only cost you about 35p. ( or you could ask your local doctor for some free soda?? its worth at try.........)
Reply:Try using spray paint.
Reply:you could get the cheat stuff
Reply:don,t do it..this dentist is just trying to make some money out of you..stop smoking that will help..bleaching will make your teeth very sensitive as well.and very white teeth looks completely unnatural..and no it should not be free on the NHS..do you know how much the stuff costs?....why should tax payers pay for your vanity
Reply:if you want i have the bleaching kit from the same people that do extreme makeover usa ill post u a syringe and tray u mould to youre teeth and instructions this should last a week or so and you then can decide if u want to by ur own i get it from a dental company on ebay for £9.99 a box of four ill send it you free so u can decide. id have liked someone to do this for me its great by the way
Reply:You had me fooled for about the first three lines, then I could feel the winding going on.





I'm smiling even if you daren't, gammy gnashers.
Reply:yes u can use peroxide and some baking soda mix them together like a paste and brush away sometimes i swish with peroxide but dont over do it cause it can be bothersome to your gums ... and never use ajax omg and a wire brush thats crazy ...
Reply:Its a wind-up,
Reply:Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and


are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural


tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries


but certain precautions have to be taken.


I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/ep7yg
Reply:Go get a job then you'll be able to afford it!! Give up the fags, booze and takeaways otherwise even if you do eventually find the money to afford the whitening stuff it won't work if you carry on with your extremely bad habits!





Your question sounds like you are taking the piss because if you are on benefits a dentist wouldn't be inconsiderate enough to suggest you have treatment for something that you can not afford!!
Reply:your having a laugh.
