I brush my teeth everyday, but I just can't seem to get them any whiter.
What kind of whitening product works the best?
Teeth Whitening products?
I LOVE Crest Night Effects...I didn't have much luck with the strips. I would just get mad at them and pull them off.
Crest Night Effects is a teeth whitener that works while you sleep, so it fits conveniently into your schedule. You'll have a whiter smile without giving up valuable time during your busy day. The competitive daytime paint-on teeth whitener is water-soluble so it may dissolve quickly. Normal daytime activities such as eating and drinking — even your own saliva — can wash most of the whitener away in as little as five minutes. So while you're waiting for the ordinary daytime whitener to dry, your already-too-busy schedule has just gotten crazier.
Using Crest Night Effects is as easy as getting ready for bed and going to sleep. Just brush your teeth as you normally would.
I saw a difference within days....Its a two week thing just like everything else but within 2 weeks your teeth are so white. People were always asking if I got them bleached...or saying that I had the whitest teeth they had seen.
Here is some information about them from the site...
Crest Night Effects is a teeth whitening system. You'll get a noticeably whiter smile while you sleep over 14 nights.* It even works on tough, everyday stains, including coffee and tobacco. Why is Crest Night Effects so effective at teeth whitening? The secret is our patented LiquidStrip Technology™ coating that stays on your teeth overnight. It whitens teeth at home, while you sleep.
The Color of Your Teeth
When you look at your teeth, the color you see is more than just the color of the surface. Because the top enamel layer is translucent, the color beneath is also visible. And since the things we eat and drink contain coloring agents that actually soak into our teeth, the layer beneath the surface of the enamel becomes stained, too. Juice, coffee, tar and tobacco for those who smoke, all contribute to making your teeth look yellow and dingy.
Teeth Whitening Dilemmas
Teeth whitening toothpastes and products only clean the surface of your teeth and don't have any way to actually whiten the stains below the surface of the enamel. Special whitening systems are available to penetrate the enamel — including paint-on systems. Many of these are water-soluble, though, and mostly dissolve away in as little as five minutes when they come into contact with saliva.
The Crest Night Effects Difference
Crest Night Effects' unique gel forms a LiquidStrip™ coating. The water-resistant coating holds the teeth whitening agent in place, slowly releasing hydrogen peroxide while you sleep. The LiquidStrip coating works to remove stains and loosen stain-causing buildup. In the morning, just brush the LiquidStrip coating and the stains away. After just two nights of using Crest Night Effects, you'll notice a clean, smooth feeling on the surface of your teeth.
How to Use Crest Night Effects
For the best effect, apply Crest Night Effects immediately before going to sleep. Don't forget to review our important tips for maximum benefit.
Do not apply multiple coats of the teeth whitening gel. Reapplication may remove the previous layer.
As you brush it on, you may find that Crest Night Effects does not form a complete or even coating on your teeth. This will not affect the whitening result.
You will know Crest Night Effects is working because you can feel the LiquidStrip coating on your teeth right after you apply until you brush it away in the morning.
You can sip water while wearing Crest Night Effects. We recommend that you do not eat or smoke while Night Effects products are applied to your teeth.
You may find that wiping your teeth with a tissue before brushing in the morning will help prevent the LiquidStrip coating from accumulating on your toothbrush.
Most people find keeping their mouth open for about 30 seconds helps the LiquidStrip coating set.
Good Luck!
Reply:Crest whitening strips that how I got my blinding smile :D
Reply:go smile.
Reply:colegate white strips or try baking soda on a toothbrush
Reply:Diluted hydrogen peroxide. It's cheap and it works.
Reply:I started using this mouthwash that's whitening,
it's 'crest whitening rinse' in the white bottle, it works and is easier then using the whitening strips.
Reply:Even the strongest whitening products will leave your teeth looking stained. Unless you want to pay excessive amounts of money each month to make them look whiter.
Reply:crest whitestrips
they're everywhere...u can go get them at target, walmart, or a pharmacy store.
also if u brush with some kind of whitening toothpaste it might help.
Reply:brushing teeth will not really help in getting teeth whiter. you can get a natural teeth whitening product that will help you remove tooth stain in just a matter of time. you can also tr to avoid culprits that can stain your teeth like coffee, colas, tea, plum, red wine, chocolates and sauces. it is also good if you try to quit smoking and stop the use of tobacco products. for more tips on how to make teeth whiter visit http://www.maximumteethwhitening.com

Wearing teeth whitening strips for longer than recommended...?
I was wondering if wearing a whitening strip for longer than the 1/2 hour they tell you to wear them is bad for your teeth of it it will just make them whiter? I think I wore one for about 3 hours once and my teeth were sensitive but nothing terrible.
Wearing teeth whitening strips for longer than recommended...?
better get checked out for dentures cos you will loe your teeth like that
Reply:My dentist told me not to exceed the time. As the stuff used for whitening removes the top layer of your teeth (which is usually all the gunk build up etc), and some of it absorbs into your teeth enamel. You can damage your teeth by over doing it and land up with falsies way before you become a senior citizen.
Reply:Actually, the white strips are a low enough concentration of the peroxide solution (bleach) that unless there are underlying defects already in the teeth, no notable damage will be done. Some of the bleaching systems I use are worn all night.
You should always follow directions, they are there for a reason. For most over the counter variety of bleaching systems, the peroxide breaks down over a short period of time; so wearing them longer than directed doesn't have a greater whitening effect.
Tooth sensitivity is a common side effect of the treatment. Sensodyne tooth paste works well to decrease the discomfort.
Good Luck!
Reply:Well, after the recommended time, a half hour in ur case, the chemicals stop working...so nothing continues to happen. I suppose it depends on the brand, but the ones I used stopped working after a certain period of time.

Teeth whitening kit?
i need a good teeth whitening kit. i tried crest whitestrips advanced and they did nothing, what a waste of time and money. is there anyone that has tried something that REALLY works? i dont have bad yellow stains really but they arent nice and white...
Teeth whitening kit?
You could always have a dentist professionally whiten them. It's expensive but it does work.
Reply:Yes, at Sephora.com they have GoSmile. It works great! I just got my braces off and used it. Miraculous. The downside is it's $80.
Reply:rembrandt 2 hour white!!!! it's only $20 and you can buy it from wal*mart or walgreens!!! it really does work!!!!! i promise!
Reply:Walgreens, they are american and work a treat, not sure you can get them here in the UK
Reply:The only thing that has ever worked for whitening mine is Opalescence. I went to my dentist and got impressions and took them home and filled it with the Opalescence *it comes in these little plastic syringes.
My teeth hurt like HECK but they are SO white now.
Everyone always comments on how white they are!
Reply:As a dental assistant, patience usually ask us that question. What I usually recommend, (I have done it on myself as well).
1. If you are not looking to spend $300- $500 going to a dental office, you should go in for you 6 month regular cleaning. Let the hygenis know that you will be using a home whitening kit. When you get home you should look to a product as crest, cologate, prosmile, gosmile etc. use it twice a day regularly, no coffee or teeth or anything that can stain your teeth.
Aslo I strongly recommend that you do get the listerine Pre-Brush. Use this as directed ( use before brushing your teeth in the morning) See link below.
This worked for me.
2. Sometimes home kits does not work well for some people. I recommend that after you have tried another home kit brand and really made an effort, Go see your dentist. There is 2 types that they have. One is that they have a laser treatment that is only 1 day and your teeth will be so bright that it would last for aleast 1 year. ( but there is a chance of you being sensetive for a few days to cold and air )
Then the second option that they recommend is that they have a home kit that is about $300 that they make a month piece for you. You are able to do this treatment on your own time and it's just like the crest except that it was made for your month only and it has a more lastng effect than the crest or any other brand.
As long as you stick to any product it will work.
Reply:i have tried many teeth whiteners yet they also did not do well to whiten my teeth even if they claim to promise to give white teeth results. now i am using Maximum Teeth Whitening, and i can really tell that it worked great for me. i had my teeth whitened in just a matter of days. it is safe and effective for i did not experience any negative effects. i noticed that my teeth stains have disappeared and this gave me good reasons to smile about.
Reply:I'm not too sure abt it. However, there are many ways to whiten your teeth.
Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth!
For home remedies.
Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month.
Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening.
Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth.
Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains.
If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here's something for you!
Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel (about $18.00) allows you to remove stains while you sleep. The tooth whitening system has a fresh, wintergreen flavor. After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile. You should see results in two days, although there are reports of tooth whitening results in one night

Reply:There are two main methods of bleaching. The first involves applying a high concentration of oxidising agent for a short period of time, which is the so-called office bleach. This produces quick results but risks chemical burns to the soft tissues. Therefore, most in-office bleaching procedures use a light-cured protective layer that is carefully painted on the gums and papilla (the tips of the gums between the teeth). The bleaching agent is either carbamide peroxide, which breaks down in the mouth to form hydrogen peroxide, or hydrogen peroxide itself. The bleaching gel typically contains up to 35% hydrogen peroxide equivalent.
The alternative method involves using a thin mouthguard or strip to hold a low concentration of oxidising agent next to the teeth for as long as several hours a day for a period of 5 to 14 days. This is known as take-home or over-the-counter bleaching. This is a slower process but has fewer risks to the soft tissues. The bleaching agent is typically less than 10% hydrogen peroxide equivalent.
A typical course of bleaching can produce dramatic improvements in the cosmetic appearance of most stained teeth; however, some stains do not respond to bleaching. Tetracycline staining may require prolonged bleaching, as it takes longer for the bleach to reach the dentine layer. White-spot decalcifications may also be highlighted and become more noticeable. Bleaching is least effective if your teeth have white spots, decay or infected gums. It is also least effective when the original tooth color is grayish. Bleaching is most effective with yellow discolored teeth.
Recently, efforts have been made to accelerate the bleaching process by the use of light. Studies have shown varying results as to the efficacy of light-activated bleaching.
Side effects of tooth bleaching include: chemical burns (if a high-concentration oxidising agent contacts unprotected tissues, which may bleach or discolor mucous membranes), sensitive teeth, and overbleaching (known in the profession as "over white teeth"). Rebound, or teeth losing the bleached effect and darkening, is also an issue, with some studies showing the rebound effect over 30 days. A recent study by Kugel et al has shown that as much as 4 shades of lightness can be lost over 30 days with light-activated/office bleaching.

Reply:I am not really sure what the BEST is... But I recently tried the Crest Whitestrips. These really work great, plus they are affordable! The only con was that it made my teeth a little sensitive but it was only temporary. Try them, they work! Whitening toothpastes simply do not work at all, in my opinion. So save your money there!

Reply:I just used Rembrandt it was cheaper then Crest, it seemed to work pretty well.
Reply:Crest White Strips worked really well, I used the original which tend to be less expensive than the premiums. I also use whitening tooth paste, but be careful with how sensitive your teeth will get. You're supposed to stop use as soon as you start feeing sensitivity.
Reply:I found Rembrandt whitening plus toothpaste works well w/ about 6 months of use. However, I first start with the whitening gel,and then I'd follow up w/ the toothpaste and Rembrandt mouthrinse.

Teeth Whitening question with Peroxide?
Alright after reading all the posts about baking soda whitening teeth Im starting to try it, but I also heard that if you swish hydrogen peroxide before you brush that dramatically helps as well? Does this work or is it dangerous and shouldnt be tried? Normal CVS hydrogen peroxide is what I have
Teeth Whitening question with Peroxide?
You probalby shouldn't put undiluted peroxide in your mouth. At a concentration of 3%-what is normally available OTC- peroxide can be pretty caustic to the oral mucosa. I always advise my patients to cut the peroxide 50/50 with water. Tooth whitening gels contain carbamide peroxide which "sticks" to the teeth better. When it breaks down, it forms urea and H2O2. Interestingly, carbamide peroxide has been available as a treatment for mouth sores for years, packaged as Gly-Oxide.
Reply:i would think that after long time use it could eat the annamil off your teeth.(the peroxide) but i'm not completly sure.

I recently got my braces off and really want to get my teeth white. I know they wont be really white, they never have. They are just really yellow and dingy looking. I have tried all the colgate and crest whitening toothpastes and really can't see a difference. I am thinking about trying the strips, but would like a really good toothpaste also. Any suggestions?
Teeth whitening help?
Crest Whitestrips really work!!
Reply:The ten dollar brands in Walmart work great, but you have to actually use them as they suggest. If your teeth get sensitve to anything, just use a flouride rinse, like ACT. Takes all the sensitivity away in a week or so, and sometimes you'll notice it immediately with cavities.
Reply:Ask your dentist. You can take Fluoride tablets (but too much Fluoride has opposite effect). The dentist will bleach your teeth for £200 ($400).
But be aware: Your teeth should never be whiter than the whites of your eyes, or you'll have that "false" look.

Teeth Whitening Kits?
What are the best home teeth whitening kits on the market?
Teeth Whitening Kits?
Most toothpastes use one of two things to help whiten your teeth, coarse material, like baking soda, or a mild bleeching agent of one kind or another. A lot of stains are fairly close to the surface and these toothpastes will do the job on them quite well. But, for real whitening you need something more powerful, and that is simply carbamide peroxide, usually in the 22% range is best. In the past this was only available from the dentist but you can get it all day on the internet.
When you go to the dentist they will do one of two things, either offer a "kit" which has the dental, ie, tooth tray, along with the peroxide gel, or you can up the ante and go for the fastest and whitest of white smiles and get zoom laser treatments, but that will cost you a few bucks.
My best guess is that the dentist would charge you around $200 for the tray and the peroxide gel, but you can get it yourself from various sites for $30 to $45. It is safe and very effective. You can either use the "mold at home" type dental trays or you can get the impression kit and send off for a more professional "custom" tray which may cost just a little more.
Either way it works. If you find that the 22% concentration makes your teeth sensitive, cut back on usage, it will fade away quickly. Or you can go for the lesser strength product. Just follow the directions and don't go overboard and try to brighten your teeth by wearing it for 24hrs straight and your teeth won't get too sensitive.
Over the counter I don't think you can even get close to this kind of performance. I think the crest strips work about the best for that category from what I have read. But, I have used the 22% on and off over the years and it works great. Just do a quick google for carbamide peroxide and you will find lots of sites that carry it.
Good luck.
Reply:sometimes they can get expensive. most people i know ( and myself ) brush their teeth with baking soda every other time. it works really well!
Reply:The one made by Rembrandt is very good and only takes five days to see results. It is a little thicker than the Crest White Strips, but does fit your mouth pretty well. I have used it for a long time now and know that you will like it. The price is also right.
Reply:Gosmile works wonders. I smoked for 4 years and I used gosmile and it looks like I never smoked. The website has all of the information you need about it. Its a little more than what you will find at Target but a lot cheaper than going to the dentist and getting it done. I liked it, check it out and see if its for you. Oh yeah, and I have sensitive teeth and it wasn't too bad for me. Worth the 80 bucks.

are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural

Oh yeah, and I have sensitive teeth and it wasn't too bad for me. Worth the 80 bucks.
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.

Which teeth whitening product is better? Aquafresh White Trays or Crest WhiteStrips?
Teeth Whitening Products?

Best Teeth Whitening Method?
Alright, so i just got half my braces off, and am soon to get the rest off. I'm getting them off when i have spring break, so I want to go back to school with a dazzling white smile. My teeth are like an off white, and i really want them to shine! My mom doesnt want me to use Crest White Strips because they wear off my enamel (mighta spelled that wrong). Anyone got any good and very effective teeth whitening ideas?
:) Thanks! (:
Best Teeth Whitening Method?
Get some baking soda and mix it in with your toothpaste. This is what they put in whitening toothpastes most of the time... it tastes bad but it does the trick! Also, if you can bare it eat some lemons! Lemons have citric acid in them which is like a bleaching agent... some girls even use it on their hair to lighten it. This will definitley help brighten you smile good luck!

Reply:Any other teeth whitening products would wear off enamel too.
Reply:I googled "teeth whitening home remedys" and found this one:
mix on small plate the following
1 tsp baking soda
dash of salt
then add a few drops of white vinegar, which will foam.
Then brush with toothpaste afterwards.
seems like a pretty safe method.
(some recipes on the site say to use peroxide...I wouldn't recommend that. It seems unsafe)
Reply: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.

Teeth whitening help! please!?
I wanted to use baking soda and peroxide for whitening my teeth. Do I just use it as like a mouth wash? And how much do I use of each? And do I mix water with it?
Teeth whitening help! please!?
Most people that try this brush their teeth with baking soda %26amp; then rinse with Peroxide mixed with water. ( 1 small cup ; fill the cup half way with Peroxide then fill the rest of the cup with water.) Your mouth will be foamy...don't be alarmed.
Reply:Lemon juice, baking soda or baking powder can also be used for teeth whitening. Rubbing the bark of walnut tree brightens the teeth. Strawberries are natural teeth whiteners, simply rub them directly on your teeth or mash into a paste and apply.More remedies and information regarding your teeth at http://useinfo-dentalcare.blogspot.com/
Reply:The most common option used as homemade teeth whitening agent is baking soda, which has a mild bleaching action. Given that it is used in baking, it also implies safety. Baking soda is sprinkled on the toothbrush, and teeth then cleaned using a gentle, circular motion. Care should still be taken though, especially for people with gum sensitivity. Old wives’ recipes often state that a paste of baking powder, a little salt, and a few drops of white vinegar, works effectively.
Salt, used exactly as baking soda, is also touted as being a good teeth whitener. However, it might just be its osmosis, dehydrating action that makes teeth appear whiter, since dehydrated teeth look whiter.

Does teeth whitening make your teeth stain more easily?
Does teeth whitening make your gums more sensitive and make stufff like drinking coffee worse for stains?
Does teeth whitening make your teeth stain more easily?
It can initially after bleaching since your teeth are more "porous", but if you rinse w/ Fluoride that will help "seal" your teeth. Sensitive gums result from chemical irritation, epithelial breakdown, and that only improves with healing time.
Reply:After you bleach, or if you bleach often, the pores in your teeth are open. If you drink coffee or tea or eat something such as berries or red sauce after you bleach all of the coloring will go into the pores. Once the pores close off either with the pH balancing from your saliva, flouride or water that stain will be trapped in the tooth. The pores open with response to any acid. That's how teeth get stained in the first place. Your teeth act in a since as dehydrated and when you drink something it tries to hold all that it can. You should drink flouridated water after bleaching.

Teeth Whitening Strips?
Has anyone tried the Target Brand's Premium Teeth Whitening Strips? They're cheaper and say they work the same...
Teeth Whitening Strips?
There are several products on the market. The cheapest and easiest one is whitening strips. They do make your teeth white, provided that your teeth are not badly stained to start with. The next would be the trays made by your dentist and you put a whitening gel in them every night and you sleep with them. They work very well. The best and the most expensive one right now is called "Zoom" whitening. It is done your dentist and they make your teeth brighter by about 10 shades but they do make your teeth sensitive though. The best product is determined by your needs and differs from patient to patient
Reply:They are illegal now.
Reply:No whitening strips work that well. The way to do it is the dentist and have them use that bleach thing, but that's expensive. Also, if you use teeth whitening or go to the dentist, it damages your teeth and you can tell afterwards about 5-10 years later.
Reply:They work but if you do it too often they ruin the enamel on your teeth!
Reply:Not nearly as good as Crest's. I tried Targets and they didn't do anything. Then I tried Crest White Strips and they were way better. Less than a week and my teeth were much better.
Reply:For best results, go to your denist and have him prescribe whitening solution. they will make you custom whitening trays to go in your mouth.
Reply:i think it will be the same..but name brand would most likely be just a little better..
Reply:I haven't tried Target's brand of tooth whitener. But people who say that OTC teeth whiteners don't work either have never used them or have never used them correctly. I have a brilliant white smile thanks to OTC teeth whitener...and I smoke! I've tried Crest Whitestrips and they weren't all that great. The best tooth whitener I found was at the Dollar General store (seriously) for 6 bucks! Also, the one with the laser light thing, you can get it at Walmart, that works pretty good too. But try different brands and see what works for you, b/c it's been my experience that just b/c it costs more, doesn't mean it works any better.
Reply:Results from tooth paste are totally insignificant the best way to whiten your teeth is by using Carbamide Peroxide, this is what dentists actually use and charge £300 per treatment.
We sell this for home use for around £20 and we also sell Laser kits. If you would like to know more please e mail me. or visit www.toothwhitening4all.com
Laser kits produce immediate results and they are inexpensive.
Even if you have not taken care of your teeth you will get amazing results. Just be carefull when parting money with a dentist, its cheaper to do your own at home we supply dentists with the same gels.
Reply:we are talking about the very same whitening material here but in different ways of application .. the most important thing is how to manage it whil ein the mouth .. if you can do it without having to go to the dentist to fix it for you and clean up the place first .. then go ahead
Reply:yes and it dose work better for me
Reply:i just bought the walgreen's brand strips. i want to use them, but i'm afraid they will ruin my teeth. i chipped my front tooth when i was little and i got it fillled so you can't tell now. but the box says that the strips only whiten natural teeth. so, i'm afraid that everything but that filling will be white. that would look horrible. i don't know what to do.

Teeth whitening gum & braces?
I have braces, so can I use teeth whitening gum? Will the parts under my braces still be ugly? ahh help./
Teeth whitening gum %26amp; braces?
You should probably wait until after you get your braces off to do any kind of whitening. The reason why is because the spaces under the brackets will stay the same color while the rest of the tooth will become brighter and then when you get your braces off you will have a dark square on every tooth. I don't think you would want that. I don't know this for sure but I think that if you do try to whiten your teeth that is what will happen. Hope I helped.
Reply:eh thats probably just like using teeth whitening tooth paste..i think its alright but im not sure
Reply:why dont u brush with Crest whitening toothpaste? thats wat i do and i have braces.
Reply:yeah they most likely will stay the same colour. i suggest you wait til you've had your braces off before your start whitening your teeth
Reply:Teeth whitening gum will not effect your teeth with braces..but do not listen to the other commenters when they said to use whitening toothpaste...DO NOT USE WHITENING TOOTHPASTE..it will definately make dark spots of where your brackets were..whitening toothpaste+braces=a big NO. lol..hopefully that helped! [:
Reply:Do NOT use a whitening toothpaste or any kind of gum.
The areas around the brackets will be white.. but under the brackets will still be the color of your teeth when you got your braces. I just got mine yesturday and she went over everything and she specifically said NO WHITENING PRODUCTS! There was a girl in the office who had just gotten hers off and she had done what they told her not to do and she had noticable scaring.
Just wait until you get them off to whiten your teeth.
Reply:It may give your teeth uneven whitening results since there are some areas that are covered by braces. Try to wait when your braces are taken off to start your teeth whitening procedure.

Will store brand teeth whitening ruin the enamel on my teeth?
i have only used the white strips a couple of times, and after i use them my teeth feel really rough, and im wondering if this is taking the enamel away. it didnt hurt the first time, but the last time i used them my teeth seeme to be more sensitive to the strips.
should i bother using them? would a professional teeth whitening be a better deal?
Will store brand teeth whitening ruin the enamel on my teeth?
NO USUALLY NOT. THEY HAVE BEEN TESTED BY DENTISTS MOST OF THEM SO JUST CHECK THE LABLELS.
Reply:Oh, dont use that toxic stuff. You can whiten your teeth naturally using a paste made from baking soda and hydrogen peroxide with a squeeze of lemon juice. cheap, easy, non toxic, and works great
Reply:The problem is that teeth whitening strips are a farely new product so there is no long term study done on them. No one knows if the product will turn out to be harmful for your teeth. Most likely it is harming your teeth because it is bleaching your teeth white. teeth ARE NOT WHITE. Teeth are naturally an off white, yellowish color. What is imporant is to floss daily, brush 2-3x daily, and visit a dentist every 6 months for a cleaning.
Professional teeth whitening isnt any safer, actually it is expensive and uses harsher chemicals.

Another teeth whitening question.?
Recently, I've been using hydrogen peroxide on my tooth brush to attempt in whitening my teeth. I'm farily new to this, and I've seen so many opinions that contradict each other. What I'd like to know, is if my technique is harmless, or dangerous. I pour a small amount of HP into the bottle cap, dilute it with water, and then pour it on my brush. Then I use regular toothpaste. Then I rinse with water, then scope. Is that safe? I've only been doing it for about a week now. Oh, and please have some knowledge of the subject before answering, thank you.
Another teeth whitening question.?
I whiten my teeth twice a day. In the morning I brush my teeth and then Rinse with the Crest Whitening Rinse after flossing. At night though I rinse with HP after I floss and then use the Whitening Rinse. I have been doing this for the last two weeks because I recently stopped smoking, and now my teeth are good as new. The advantage to the Rinse over the strips is that it whitens between the teeth and on top of your back teeth too, where as the strips only whiten the fronts and backs of your back teeth.
My dentist told me that using the HP as a Rinse was fine, as long as I didn't swallow any of it. There are actually directions on the bottle for how to use it this way. It also kills all of the germs in your mouth, an added plus.
So no I dont think there's anything wrong with what you are doing! Good Luck!

Reply:I would not use strait hydrogen peroxide, you can irritate your gums.
Crest makes a nice whitening rinse that you use before you brush, use that in combination with a whitening toothpaste(I like Rembrant, intense stain remover) I drink like 3 to 4 cups of coffee per day, with crest white strips, and my teeth are pretty white.
Reply:I have some knowledge, so here goes. Be very careful using HP you could burn your mouth. if you feel any numbness in your mouth around your lips or on your gums, stop. even some of the store bought brands can cause some burning so be careful.
Reply:Have you tried the Crest whitening with Green Tea and Peroxide? For some reason, this particular one has produced better results than any other for me - almost immediately (like in a couple of days). I used to do the peroxide on the brush and it didn't hurt me
Reply:There is NO problem with this.

Teeth Whitening damage to gums?
Has anyone had problems with teeth whitening systems damaging their gums? I just used one and my gums are now white and flaking off! Has anyone had that happen and what did u do? Did it get better?
Teeth Whitening damage to gums?
Your getting the gel on your gums. Your either putting too much gel in the trays or you are not wiping off the excess.
Now, if you had in-office whitening, it is the same thing. The gel got on the gums and burned them. It will go away. Sometimes, if the seal on the gums breaks, the gel leaks onto the tissue. You might try something from the drug store called Glyoxide and see if it eases the problem. But rest assured, it will go away.
Reply:If you used strips then they are overlapping your gums and therefore burning them. If you did ZOOM the gum protection device wasn't placed meticulously, if you did the custom trays (best method) you either placed to much peroxide in the trays or the trays were not scalloped (cut around the gumline) to avoid any contact with your gums, they should cover tooth only.

Plant question
Teeth Whitening damage to gums?
Your getting the gel on your gums. Your either putting too much gel in the trays or you are not wiping off the excess.
Now, if you had in-office whitening, it is the same thing. The gel got on the gums and burned them. It will go away. Sometimes, if the seal on the gums breaks, the gel leaks onto the tissue. You might try something from the drug store called Glyoxide and see if it eases the problem. But rest assured, it will go away.

Teeth whitening gum; the effects seem short term. How does it work?
Does it mearly coat the teeth in a whitening substance?
Teeth whitening gum; the effects seem short term. How does it work?
Xylitol is a natural, sugar-free sweetener that can not be "digested" by the cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth so that acid can't eat away at your enamel and you are less likely to get cavities. It really doesn't have much effect on the level of staining.
Many whitening gums (like Orbit White) contain baking soda. The abrasive particles "scrub" your teeth while you chew. Others (like Trident) have a fancy name for something that whitens teeth, but if you look at the ingredients you'll find baking soda as well.
Reply:No, there is a chemical in it called xylitol that keeps chemicals from staining your teeth, but as you eat and drink and just plain live, the xylitol wears off.
Reply:Xylitol is more of a temporary thing. On the back of most packages it says that if you chew 2 pieces after eating it will whiten your teeth. I would suggest Crest Whitestrips from experience...they really do work!

What OTC tooth whitening products are effective without damaging teeth?
If you've tried them, please write if they worked for you or didn't work. Also, how long do the whitening effects last? Do they make your teeth sensitive - for how long? How often do you need to use them to keep up the look and at the same time not to damage teeth? How much do they sell for?
What OTC tooth whitening products are effective without damaging teeth?
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:I tried and liked Crest White Strips. You can get them at the grocery store and if you check the Sunday paper, usually find a $5.00 off coupon. They cost about $20, work great, last about four months and don't damage your teeth.
They did make my teeth a little sensitive the first two or three days I used them but it wasn't painful (I'm a pain wimp!) and the sensitivity went away after a few days.
Reply:I have read tooth sensitivity and enamel damage can be a problem. It has to do some thing on the enamel if it is going to penetrate to whiten. Maybe only the more powerful dentist whitening techniques are the problem. I don't know anyone who tried them nor care to, let mother nature take care of them. I think once you start them it may be an ongoing process for the future.

Personally I think you should go with the Listerine Stripes. They dissolve in your mouth. You can use them anywhere and anytime!
Reply:I've heard that after all the money you spend on teeth whitening at clinics, the effect only lasts for a certain period of time then you need to get it done again! Sounds like a rip off to me.

Why do whitening strips cause teeth sensitivity?
Ive never had a problem with my teeth being sensitive. The other day I tried one of those crest teeth whitening strips and after one use, my teeth are so sensitive I cant stand it! What is causing this? The main ingredient is peroxide, which I though was in most toothpaste anyway. Is it going to cause damage to my teeth?
Why do whitening strips cause teeth sensitivity?
they strip the enamale off your teeth. and yes they will cause damage. You can use sensatine toothpaste. there are a couple of diffrent one's I think aqua fresh makes one too.
Reply:The peroxide in your toothpaste is the same thing that can colour people's hair blonde.
Reply:because it chips away at the enamel
Reply:carbamide peroxide is the main ingredient and it is different that plain peroxide. the strength varies among different whiteners. your teeth may have thin enamel and you need to find out first.
Before whitening your teeth, you should find out if your teeth have thin enamel. This can cause your teeth to have a yellowish or brownish apperance. Whitening will not help in this situation and can make appearance worse and cause sensitivity.

Chewing on crunchy foods like carrots, apples and celery, is said to cause friction which helps get debris off your teeth that can stain them. There are many old natural remedies and some new natural and/or herbal products, as well as, some chemical products, all claiming to whiten teeth.
The color of teeth comes from genetics originally, and it varies person to person. Teeth will natually discolor over time due to age. The best way to keep teeth as white and you were designed to have, is to avoid foods, liquids, drugs, and products that stain teeth.
Avoid things known to stain teeth, like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tobacco products, food colorings, etc.... Avoid direct exposure to a lot of raw lemons or citrus products like tomatos, limes, oranges, as the citric acid wears the enamel off the teeth, and when dentin is exposed (like with cavities), it can cause discoloration. If you do eat them, rinse your teeth right away. Avoid carbonated drinks that contain phosphoric acid, like coca cola for the same reason. Sports drinks often contain citric acid, phosphoric acid and organic acid (coffee contains organic acids, also). The latter two are known to break down calcium, along with breaking down enamel. Also, If you eat raw papaya or raw pineapple, rinse your mouth after eating them, as they have enzymes that can cause sores in your mouth and gums, because they break down proteins.
The antibiotic tetracycline is known to cause teeth to stain and so is fluoride and caffeine. Mercury fillings cause teeth to stain where the tooth comes in contact with the filling; This is because of galvanization. So, one should get all amalgams replaced. Gold seems to be ok as long as it is a good quality gold such as high noble, and white composites or porcelain fillings can be used.
Hydrogen peroxide can whiten teeth, but it can penetrate teeth, which are porous, and cause sensitivity. It is used in dental bleaching. It is a special 35% solution, so buying the 2% bottle of it over the counter in hopes to make your teeth white, will not work and could eventually cause sensitivity, irritation, or inflamation of the gums. Myself, I do not recommend teeth whiteners of any kind, for the same reason. If you do decide to use a teeth whitener, either over the counter or from the dentist, if you are not avoiding foods that cause staining, your teeth will stain again, and you will have wasted your money. To whiten your teeth often, will most likely cause sensitivity, enamel breakdown, and can lead to cavities. The long term effects of teeth bleaching on nerves and blood vessels inside the teeth are unknown. Laser bleaching seems to cause more problems with sensitivity than non-laser bleaching. Bleaching does not work on false teeth, crowns, veneers or fillings (even white ones). You may opt to replace those with lighter shades if you don't like the color. Bleaching is not recommended for children whose teeth are still developing or for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
It is important to brush after meals to avoid plaque and tartar build up, which can also cause discoloration. Avoid toothpastes that contain abrasives to fight plaque and tarter, as they can wear away enamel and make the dentin show through (which has a yellowish or brownish tint), which can cause staining, or cavities or cause your teeth to appear brown or yellow. Also, avoid brushing too hard for the same reason. If you do consume products that cause staining, use water to rinse your mouth directly afterward.
There is a technique called internal bleaching. The only way it can be done is to have a root canal, and root canals cause devastating health effects and should be avoided altogether.
The British Dental Association has expressed concern that the smokers' whitening toothpastes Clinomyn and Pearl Drops are too abrasive. Many whitening toothpastes contain titanium dioxide, a suspected carcinogen and can be absorbed by the skin, and, when the effluent containing it is discharged from manufacturers, it acidifies rivers and seas.
Smokers toothpaste, Topol, containing an abrasive form of silica to remove heavy stains from tar and resin deposits can cause damage to cementum and dentin in people with gingival recession, resulting root exposure.
Tooth whitening actually requires modifying the intrinsic tooth color, chemically alterating the chromophores within the tooth. Whitening toothpastes using bicarbonate, alumina and polyphosphates cannot whiten teeth; All they can do is contribute to stain removal. Whitening requires bleaching or enzymatic disruption.
Acid penetration and dissolution has not been an acceptable method of whitening for nearly a century.
Many products claim whitening ability with various peroxides -- hydrogen, calcium or carbamide. For over-the-counter peroxide content is kept low. It has effervescence and maybe some short-lived bleaching because peroxide is rapidly broken down by oral enzymes from bacteria and saliva. Gels stay on longer, but must be used with a tray to work. Only whitening products used by dentists have ADA acceptance. Over-the-counter product manufacturers have never attempted such claims.
A product called NatureWhite contains carbamide peroxide is supposed to whiten your teeth dramatically with just one 45 Minute application. It is said to be the same thing that dentists use and that dentists use a 12% solution while NatureWhite uses a 22% solution. Crest white strips, by comparison, have a 3% solution.
Before whitening your teeth, you should find out if your teeth have thin enamel. This can cause your teeth to have a yellowish or brownish apperance. Whitening will not help in this situation and can make appearance worse and cause sensitivity.
There are herbs that have been used throughout history to whiten teeth. Sage boiled in water to make tea was said to strengthen gums and whiten teeth. During the middle ages, powdered mint leaves were used to whiten teeth. Charcoal was touted as the best powder to use for whitening teeth, removing tartar and preventing decay. Other common ingredients in tooth powders included: cream of tartar, camphor, white castile soap powder, cuttle fish bone, precipitated chalk, powdered borax, powdered gum myrrh, powdered orris root, and talc. The majority of these ingredients cleaned and whitened teeth.
Here are some other natural remedies :
Take a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tsp of salt. Make a paste. Apply this on the yellowish tint.
Use the inner white part of an orange peel to rub teeth for a lovely white shine.
Take half teaspoon of bi-carbonate of soda mixed with a little water to form a paste. Rub this on your teeth.
Dried %26amp; powdered Bay leaves combined with dried orange peel is an excellent whitener.
Strawberries, oddly enough are said to have cleansing and bleaching properties that can help remove of tea and coffee stains, especially from dentures. Crush the strawberries gently and rub the pulp onto your teeth. Rinse with water.
There are some new tooth pastes and products with Bromaine Complex, a combination of the natural enzymes, Bromelaine from pineapple, and Papain from papaya, said to be clinically proven to whiten teeth.
Dentizyme is an herbal remedy; it consists of a unique blend of bio-active plant enzymes, organic botanicals, rainforest botanicals, and essential oils. Dentizyme users report fewer or no gum disease symptoms, they also report that their gums look pinker and healthier along with excellent teeth whitening results and teeth stains are said to disappear entirely with continued use of this herbal extract.

here is some info on zoom:

Price is $500 to $675
How does Zoom teeth whitening work?
This method consists of a mixture of gel and special light wave treatments. The patient is seated and the dentist uses a retractor to separate the lips from the teeth so that the gel can be applied. A special gel is then applied on all the exterior faces of the teeth. The dentist is careful, at this point, not to let the gel touch the patient’s gums too much, as it may cause irritation or lesions.
How long does it last and what effects can I expect?
The answers to the questions are different from one person to another. In most cases, a Zoom teeth whitening procedure is done twice a year. An average person who drinks coffee frequently and smokes daily will have improved tooth brightness - around 10 shades brighter. After the procedure is completed, the teeth will gradually start to regain their yellowish color over time, depending on how well you take care of them. On average, people who went through in office tooth whitening procedures noticed that their teeth stay white for months, although the initial brightness does not last more than a few weeks.

Also, If you eat raw papaya or raw pineapple, rinse your mouth after eating them, as they have enzymes that can cause sores in your mouth and gums, because they break down proteins.
The antibiotic tetracycline is known to cause teeth to stain and so is fluoride and caffeine. Mercury fillings cause teeth to stain where the tooth comes in contact with the filling; This is because of galvanization. So, one should get all amalgams replaced. Gold seems to be ok as long as it is a good quality gold such as high noble, and white composites or porcelain fillings can be used.
Hydrogen peroxide can whiten teeth, but it can penetrate teeth, which are porous, and cause sensitivity. It is used in dental bleaching. It is a special 35% solution, so buying the 2% bottle of it over the counter in hopes to make your teeth white, will not work and could eventually cause sensitivity, irritation, or inflamation of the gums. Myself, I do not recommend teeth whiteners of any kind, for the same reason. If you do decide to use a teeth whitener, either over the counter or from the dentist, if you are not avoiding foods that cause staining, your teeth will stain again, and you will have wasted your money. To whiten your teeth often, will most likely cause sensitivity, enamel breakdown, and can lead to cavities. The long term effects of teeth bleaching on nerves and blood vessels inside the teeth are unknown. Laser bleaching seems to cause more problems with sensitivity than non-laser bleaching. Bleaching does not work on false teeth, crowns, veneers or fillings (even white ones). You may opt to replace those with lighter shades if you don't like the color. Bleaching is not recommended for children whose teeth are still developing or for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
It is important to brush after meals to avoid plaque and tartar build up, which can also cause discoloration. Avoid toothpastes that contain abrasives to fight plaque and tarter, as they can wear away enamel and make the dentin show through (which has a yellowish or brownish tint), which can cause staining, or cavities or cause your teeth to appear brown or yellow. Also, avoid brushing too hard for the same reason. If you do consume products that cause staining, use water to rinse your mouth directly afterward.
There is a technique called internal bleaching. The only way it can be done is to have a root canal, and root canals cause devastating health effects and should be avoided altogether.
The British Dental Association has expressed concern that the smokers' whitening toothpastes Clinomyn and Pearl Drops are too abrasive. Many whitening toothpastes contain titanium dioxide, a suspected carcinogen and can be absorbed by the skin, and, when the effluent containing it is discharged from manufacturers, it acidifies rivers and seas.
Smokers toothpaste, Topol, containing an abrasive form of silica to remove heavy stains from tar and resin deposits can cause damage to cementum and dentin in people with gingival recession, resulting root exposure.
Tooth whitening actually requires modifying the intrinsic tooth color, chemically alterating the chromophores within the tooth. Whitening toothpastes using bicarbonate, alumina and polyphosphates cannot whiten teeth; All they can do is contribute to stain removal. Whitening requires bleaching or enzymatic disruption.
Acid penetration and dissolution has not been an acceptable method of whitening for nearly a century.
Many products claim whitening ability with various peroxides -- hydrogen, calcium or carbamide. For over-the-counter peroxide content is kept low. It has effervescence and maybe some short-lived bleaching because peroxide is rapidly broken down by oral enzymes from bacteria and saliva. Gels stay on longer, but must be used with a tray to work. Only whitening products used by dentists have ADA acceptance. Over-the-counter product manufacturers have never attempted such claims.
A product called NatureWhite contains carbamide peroxide is supposed to whiten your teeth dramatically with just one 45 Minute application. It is said to be the same thing that dentists use and that dentists use a 12% solution while NatureWhite uses a 22% solution. Crest white strips, by comparison, have a 3% solution.
Before whitening your teeth, you should find out if your teeth have thin enamel. This can cause your teeth to have a yellowish or brownish apperance. Whitening will not help in this situation and can make appearance worse and cause sensitivity.
There are herbs that have been used throughout history to whiten teeth. Sage boiled in water to make tea was said to strengthen gums and whiten teeth. During the middle ages, powdered mint leaves were used to whiten teeth. Charcoal was touted as the best powder to use for whitening teeth, removing tartar and preventing decay. Other common ingredients in tooth powders included: cream of tartar, camphor, white castile soap powder, cuttle fish bone, precipitated chalk, powdered borax, powdered gum myrrh, powdered orris root, and talc. The majority of these ingredients cleaned and whitened teeth.
Here are some other natural remedies :
Take a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tsp of salt. Make a paste. Apply this on the yellowish tint.
Use the inner white part of an orange peel to rub teeth for a lovely white shine.
Take half teaspoon of bi-carbonate of soda mixed with a little water to form a paste. Rub this on your teeth.
Dried %26amp; powdered Bay leaves combined with dried orange peel is an excellent whitener.
Strawberries, oddly enough are said to have cleansing and bleaching properties that can help remove of tea and coffee stains, especially from dentures. Crush the strawberries gently and rub the pulp onto your teeth. Rinse with water.
There are some new tooth pastes and products with Bromaine Complex, a combination of the natural enzymes, Bromelaine from pineapple, and Papain from papaya, said to be clinically proven to whiten teeth.
Dentizyme is an herbal remedy; it consists of a unique blend of bio-active plant enzymes, organic botanicals, rainforest botanicals, and essential oils. Dentizyme users report fewer or no gum disease symptoms, they also report that their gums look pinker and healthier along with excellent teeth whitening results and teeth stains are said to disappear entirely with continued use of this herbal extract.

here is some info on zoom:

Price is $500 to $675
How does Zoom teeth whitening work?
This method consists of a mixture of gel and special light wave treatments. The patient is seated and the dentist uses a retractor to separate the lips from the teeth so that the gel can be applied. A special gel is then applied on all the exterior faces of the teeth. The dentist is careful, at this point, not to let the gel touch the patient’s gums too much, as it may cause irritation or lesions.
How long does it last and what effects can I expect?
The answers to the questions are different from one person to another. In most cases, a Zoom teeth whitening procedure is done twice a year. An average person who drinks coffee frequently and smokes daily will have improved tooth brightness - around 10 shades brighter. After the procedure is completed, the teeth will gradually start to regain their yellowish color over time, depending on how well you take care of them. On average, people who went through in office tooth whitening procedures noticed that their teeth stay white for months, although the initial brightness does not last more than a few weeks.

more info on whitening:
Chewing on crunchy foods like carrots, apples and celery, is said to cause friction which helps get debris off your teeth that can stain them. There are many old natural remedies and some new natural and/or herbal products, as well as, some chemical products, all claiming to whiten teeth.
The color of teeth comes from genetics originally, and it varies person to person. Teeth will natually discolor over time due to age. The best way to keep teeth as white and you were designed to have, is to avoid foods, liquids, drugs, and products that stain teeth.
Avoid things known to stain teeth, like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tobacco products, food colorings, etc.... Avoid direct exposure to a lot of raw lemons or citrus products like tomatos, limes, oranges, as the citric acid wears the enamel off the teeth, and when dentin is exposed (like with cavities), it can cause discoloration. If you do eat them, rinse your teeth right away. Avoid carbonated drinks that contain phosphoric acid, like coca cola for the same reason. Sports drinks often contain citric acid, phosphoric acid and organic acid (coffee contains organic acids, also). The latter two are known to break down calcium, along with breaking down enamel.

Teeth Whitening COSMETIC..LEGAL OR ILLEGAL?
I cannot seem to find the answer to this..
General Dental Council ..Illegal if you are not a dentist, we will prosecute if we have evidence of an individual performing this procedure...
BABTAC Recomend not to invest in these machines as it is illegal in the UK
Pro cosmetic non Dentists..Legal ,we are not dentists, providing purely cosmetic treatment, one person even said around 5 years ago the EU brought out a rule/law recognising this as a cosmetic procedure. cant find that info any where!.Also if they are fully insured how can that make it illegal?
I have tried to speak to different people but seem to be going in circles.If it is illegal then surely there would be more than just 1 prosecution who claimed he was a dentist!
Cosmetic Teeth Whitening is in every paper, beauty salon, trade show how's this if it's illegal..
One thing i that also puzzles me is these compaines claim the product is 6% peroxide..That is over the legal limit in the uk, how do they get insured?
Teeth Whitening COSMETIC..LEGAL OR ILLEGAL?
How can it be illegal and yet the dentists all advertise that they do it. I was in Selfridges in London and they were doing it on the shop floor??
I think it's legal.

What different procedures are available for teeth whitening ?
I want to have my teeth professionally whitened . My sister had her teeth lasered last year before her wedding and she said because of it, her teeth feel more sensitive now than they were before. She also said they are blotchy now ( a year later ) . It cost her $800 ( Aus Dollars) and i don't want to pay that much for something that doesn't work.
Is there such a thing as teeth bleaching, would that be more affective ?, and more safe ? I'm going to a teeth specialist next week so i'll ask him then, but now i'm just curious to see if anyone here has any experience with teeth whitening.
thanks in advance for your help :)
What different procedures are available for teeth whitening ?
Main procedures 1. In office, like your sister. 2. Take home trays, which are made by the dentist, and you are given the bleach material done daily (costs about half as much). 3. Over the counter products like "Crest White Strips" (most inexpensive). With any bleach material, teeth usually become sensitive. You could lessen this by using fluoride, like "Act," which can be bought at any drug store. General rules: hydrogen peroxide is stronger than carbamide peroxide, strips are better than brush on gels (allows longer contact with teeth).
Reply:Hi,
If you stop eating processed foods your teeth will gain a few shades of white within weeks. Your body will love you for it too.

I don't know If I can answer your question easily... The best source on all things to do with oral and maxillofacial surgery, as well as specialist dentistry, is to go to http://oceansurgical.com.au . This site has all the best information on wisdom teeth, orthodontics, implant dentistry, as well as things to do with oral medicine, oral pathology, jaw correction surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, mucosal diseases, tumours, cysts, and reconstruction surgery. There are also other parts on post-operative care, medications, material types, as well as explanations on Medicare. It is an Australian site, but I highly recommend it for everyone.
Good luck with finding out what you are looking for!

Can tooth whitening toothpaste cause sensitivity in teeth?
I started having trouble back in October. I went to the dentist, and he couldn't find anything wrong with my teeth. He said wait a little bit and see if it gets better. I just realized that my probelm started after I started using Colgate toothpaste with tartar protection and whitening. I have been using Sensodyne since the problem started and have not been using the Colgate, and while things are a bit better, I still have pain.
Can tooth whitening toothpaste cause sensitivity in teeth?
yes it's possible.
Reply:yes it happen to me it does
Reply:yes whitening products can make your teeth sensitive
Reply:yes, my dentist told me that it can when i complained of sensitive teeth
Reply:The whitening on toothpastes and teeth cleanings can make your teeth sensitive because theres a bleach type substance that causes the sensitiveness.
Reply:sensodine is good ,whitening toothpastes can be a bit harsh sometimes, may be alternate.
Reply:yes because in order to whiten your teeth it decays the foul-colored enamil, which makes less of a tooth and clsoer to the nerves
Reply:Most of the time the toothpaste whitens your teeth by using an abrasive. That means they are scraping the surface of your teeth to make them look whiter. This can cause sensitivity.
Reply:whitening toot paste is abbrasive.
you sound like you have sensitive teeth.
you can sensodyne with xtra sensitive ...its good.
Reply:Always check which product you are buying.. It can occour..
Reply:Absolutely. It is a major cause. There are some good toothpastes for sensitive teeth. You can alternate - that might help.
Reply:Yes, it can. If you use the whitening toothpaste to much, it can dissolve the enamel on your teeth. Drink lots of flouridated water, or ask your dentist for a flouride treatment.
Reply:Absolutely! I had one from by dentist and I already felt sensitivity on my first use.

There are now many different methods both in office and at home. length of time depends on home care and habits for example teeth are stained by coffee, tea , wine grape juice, cigarettes, etc. If you want a fast dramatic result go to your dentist. the at home products work fairly well especially if your teeth are in good shape and well aligned.
Cost varies at home $25.00 to $50.00 in office $175.00 to $450.00

Teeth Whitening.... effects on the enamel?
Crest whitestrips. Are they bad for you? Do you get sensitive teeth after using it?
What are some other affordable solutions?
Whitening toothpastes?
Teeth Whitening.... effects on the enamel?
any type of whitening effects the enamel. i tried crest and my teeth started to hurt really bad so when i went to the dentist i asked him to try it using professional solution, well it hurt any less. So i guess whitestrips $20.00 vs professional $100
whitestrips are the way to go cause both options are going to do the same damage to your enamel. When i was using whitening solution the dentist gave me i was also using the toothpaste EnamelOn- its an enamel strengthener toothpaste which helped ease the pain a little.
There are other whitening strips out there but ive never tried them. sorry
i think whitening toothpastes take too long to see a noticeable difference. thats just my opinion
Reply:you will look like a monster
Reply:I had my teeth whitened... it is not so good. teeth have small pores in them like your skin. the whitening process causes these pores to expand. this is very bad because it leads to tooth sensitivity, and even cavities. the white strips are a bit better, but after prolonged use can cause some serious problems especially if you have issues with your gums like gingivitis or have sensitive teeth to begin with. the whitening process works great, but it is not for everyone. try to use a whitening toothpaste first.

Ghetto teeth whitening?
If you leave whitening toothpaste on your teeth will it work the same as whitening strips????
Ghetto teeth whitening?
No, whitening toothpaste works by removing stains from the teeth due to the increased amount of abbrasives in the paste. They don't actually whiten the teeth, they just remove stain better than other toothpastes. Whitening strips work via a peroxide/carbamide peroxide affect.

Does using a teeth whitening system damage your teeth?
Will using a teeth whitening product like Crest Whitestrips or Oral B whitening trays damage your teeth enamel in any way?
Does using a teeth whitening system damage your teeth?
No, these bleaching products cause no damage to the enamel. The worst thing you might experience is sensitivity to cold while you are bleaching. This clears up within a day or two of when you stop bleaching.
Reply:I sure hope not, cause then using it would be kinda ironic.
The best way to whiten and strenghten your teeth is to brush twice daily, floss and use mouth wash.

What teeth whitening product REALLY works?
Do you know of any good teeth whitening products that you can find off the shelfs of supermarket, that really works???
I see alot of those whitening products in the supermarket or chemist they come in all forms like toothpaste, or put on cream, gel mouth guide.
I have a feeling that ***NONE of them works after you bought them home and try it and they're all bunch of CONS.
What teeth whitening product REALLY works?
At-home whitening products do work for some people. If your teeth are yellowish the product will whiten your teeth. If your teeth are grayish, the whitening products don't work. The yellowish color is the result of surface stains. Grayish-color teeth cannot be whitening with at-home products. Grayish-color teeth cannot be whitening by a dentist. Some people have grayish-color teeth because their mothers took a specific antibiotic while pregnant. That antibiotic is no longer prescribed for pregnant woman.
To whiten yellowish-color teeth and get the best results have a dental check up and your teeth cleaned before using any at-home products. At-home whitening products shouldn't be used if you have any unfilled cavities.
Listerine has a new product (a strip) that has gotten OK reviews. The Listerine Whitening Rinse doesn't work because the liquid isn't in your mouth long enough. Whitening toothpaste will whiten your teeth a bit over time but you will get much better results with the strips or mouth trays. Crest and Rembrandt have some good products
For the best and fastest results have your teeth whitened by a dentist. What a dentist can do in an hour takes weeks with the at-home kits. Although the cost of one package of an at-home kit is less expensive than having a dentist do it, consider the fact that you will probably need to purchase multiple at-home products.
Reply:I've used Crest White Strips and they do a pretty good job, It takes a few weeks of daily wearing and they are kinda messy but I have noticed a difference in the color of my teeth.
Reply:I just brush my teeth with baking soda. Not the best tasting, but it works and doesn't cost a lot. Just put the baking soda on your toothpaste of choice and brush. After a few days, you'll start seeing a difference.
Reply:crest white strips take only 5 minutes of ur day but its worth it. the results r guaranteed

At Home Laser Teeth Whitening Product Help?
Hi guys I'm just wondering if anyone has tried the AT HOME version for Laser teeth whitening, the price is like a fifth of that of having it done professionally at the dentist but the products claim to have the same effects. The product comes with all the gels you need and the actual laser light attachement, I'm wondering if this is the same strength of the professional laser system. Does anyone know if this is true before I make a costly mistake with little effect at all?
I have had my teeth lasered once before by Britesmile in July of last year and they seem to have discoloured again slightly, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm in the UK too.
I want BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT white Hollywood teeth and if at home laser whitening is good then I will purchase. Any other ideas on how to achieve this wouldn't go amiss either!!!
Thanks!
At Home Laser Teeth Whitening Product Help?
Well, there are lasers and there are LASERS.
Perhaps you'll be just as well off using a laser pointer, because dental lasers are powerful beasties costing megabucks. Their intention is to activate the bleach by releasing H2O2 in a faster and higher fashion than home bleaching. You're not going to get a laser like that thru the mail, not to mention the safety considerations.
In any case, home bleaching has been found in studies to give better and longer-lasting effects than in-surgery bleaching.
Reply:I would not risk it, certainly until I had at least spoken to and seen the results of some one who had used it. I had mine done at the dentist.It was done over a period of two weeks and cost £200.00. for everything. I now have the whiter than white smile, that makes people wear their shades when they look at me.
Reply:The words 'at home' and 'laser' .... DONT belong together!
Do the words..."You'll put your eye out" sound familiar? hahahaha
Reply:Hi
if you go on e bay and search for sunshine smiles there is a guy selling 35% bleaching kits for home use from America takes about a week to get here but very good,follow the instructions carefully though,this stuff is professional strength and will sting ya gums if ya use too much,have tried the professional laser in Thailand with outstanding results but gotta say the home version is not as good could be the strength of the gel though hope this helps

Reply:Firstly, where are you getting this "home laser whitening kit?" It will surely not have a fully functional laser with it, as these cost over 3 thousand pounds. It will probably just have a UV light with it!
Professionally, i doubt it will have the desired affect which you want which is BRIGHT BRIGHT HOLLYWOOD SMILES. These cannot always be achieved by merely bleaching teeth alone. Some people opt for veneers however these do involve cutting sound tooth tissue away in order to make room for the veneers! There is another technique which i employ at my practice and it has kept most of the demanding white obsessed patients happy! and YES it does involve using a 5 Watt DIODE Laser.
my practice website is www.parmardental.co.uk if you have any further questions just drop me a line
if not best of luck getting that hollywood smile
