Teeth whitening recommend?
A recent test on the programme "How to Look Good Naked" by the lovely ladies rated the Pearl Drops toothpaste/polish the best and it was the cheapest too.
Reply:Those crest things are apparently quite good but Pearl Drops worked ok for me, it costs about a fiver and only took 2-3 weeks before I started seeing results, and that one packet has lasted about 6 weeks so far.
Reply:try Janina toothpaste,works really well non abrasive and not too expensive,cost around ten pounds from boots.
Reply:Good old Baking powder, 40p a tub from the supermarket. I use it 3 times a week and my dentist says my teeth are fab. No harsh chemicals to strip the enamel either. Dip your damp toothbrush in to the powder and away you go.


Other than that I also use Arm %26amp; Hammer baking soda toothpaste too.
Reply:Crest whitening strips do work well and they have the benefit of whitening your teeth by using a bleaching gel rather than Pearl Drops which can only remove surface stain by removing a thin layer of enamel thus thinning your teeth. Crest whitening strips can lighten the colour of your teeth beyond their natural colour while abrasive pastes and powders can only restore your teeth to their natural colour and no more. in fact over time thinning your teeth can make them appear darker. A word of caution though-read the instructions carefully. As a dentist when I bleach patietns teeth I advise them to avoid red wine and black coffee for 2 weeks as your teeth are more porous during bleaching and can actualy absorb stain at this stage. Also and fillings/crowns/veneers will not become lighter in colour so bleaching is not recommended unless all your front teeth are completely natural tooth tissue. Alternatively you can bleach your teeth and haev the filings replaced at a later date to make them match again.
Reply:There are several types of products available for use at home. Some of these tooth whitening products can be easily purchased off the shelves of pharmacy while others are dispensed by your dentist.





One popular tooth whitening product that you can use is bleaching solution that contains peroxide for bleaching tooth enamel. The bleaching agent in these products is usually carbamide peroxide, which is available in 10, 16 and 22 percent concentrations.





Whiteners that contain peroxide typically come in gel form and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks while others are intended for overnight use for a 1 to 2 weeks period. If you can obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist, he will be able to construct a custom mouth guard to fit your teeth precisely. Currently, the American Dental Association endorses only dentist-dispensed home-use percent carbamide peroxide tray-applied gels.





In addition to bleaching solution, whitening strips are increasingly being used as a preferred tooth whitening product. For instance, you are now able to get your hands on a set of Crest Whitestrips Supreme from any convenience store. The flexible, invisible strips are coated with an enamel-safe tooth bleaching gel. To whiten your teeth, you simply place the strips on your teeth and wear them for about 15 to 30 minutes each day. After a period of about 21 days, you should be able to see a significant difference on the brightness of your teeth.
