Teeth-whitening?
i've heard that lots of times when people think they are whitening their teeth they are also stripping off their enamel. are their any teeth whitening systems out there that dont do that? (ex. do crest whitestrips do that to your teeth?)

beauty gal: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 ty... More...



What are the best products for teeth whitening?
I was wondering what products are the best for teeth whitening?

First, what is a good whitening toothpaste?

Second, what is a good product to use for teeth whitening that doesn't leave my teeth extremely sensitive?

What can I use to whiten my teeth without a dentist or whitening strips?
I brush and floss daily, but my teeth are still yellowish. I can't afford to get my teeth whitened by a dentist and I don't want to use whitening strips because they haven't helped before. I need suggestions on what I can possibly use instead and how do use it. Thank you!
I'm only 14 years old and I don't drink coffee or smoke.

What is the best teeth whitening product on the market?
I was a smoker and always promised myself once I quit I would whiten my teeth...they aren't horrible, just are a very fainy yellow. Enough for me to notice being I see myself everyday. Anyways, I was wondering waht is the best teeth whitening product on the market without a prescription/dr's visit?

Amy L:Crest strips are great. I've been using them for 4 years, coffee drinker, ex-smoker and they work great. I use them about every year or so. The key is to go through the entire system as directed to get max results. The Classic or Renewal line works great. The Premium line didn't work so good on me b... More...


What is the best teeth whitening system, product, or procedure and what are the costs?
The options for teeth whitening are many. I've tried several with only limited results. I'm looking to hear from someone who has either found a really effective teeth whitening system they applied at home, or went to a dentist and had another procedure that hopefully was not too expensive.

I'm looking to hear from people with experience in this area. Thank you!

beauty gal: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 ... More...

Where is the best place to purchase a professional quality teeth whitening kit from on the Internet?
I'm looking for a teeth whitening kit that utilizes lab-created bleaching trays and 22% carbamide peroxide gel. I would like for the price to be around $100 if possible. It is also important that it be a reputable online dealer and not some "fly-by-night" reseller. I'm hoping someone, on Yahoo Answers, that has already had a good experience purchasing/using a teeth whitening system from the Internet will point me in the right direction.

chaseunchase:There is a reason why they are available from dentists only. If you misuse the product, your teeth will turn a grayish blue color-- permanently! I use Supersmile, and it's very effective. I use it, and it worked so well, I got some for my mom who had very discolored teeth.... More...


Is there a place where I can get free teeth whitening samples?
Is there a place where I can get free teeth whitening samples without having to fill out surveys? Don't say Walmart because it doesn't work anymore. If you come up with a good site for free samples of teeth whitening without filling out surveys, then you will be my best answer! Also if you have any web sites I could go to for free samples of good whitening toothpaste or other whitening products! Thanks!

Can anyone tell me if the home teeth whitening kits work?
I am wondering if the home teeth whitening kits work, and do they work on part dentures? Also why is it that some people have natural white teeth and some are a shade below?

tinkerbell:they definately do whiten your teeth. you can get kits ordered over the internet much cheaper than at the dentist (you take the impression of your teeth and send it back to them to make the trays), but maybe not as super white as the pictures will have you believe! i had some stains which needed to ...

What would happen if I left my teeth whitening tray in for longer than 30 - 60 minutes?
My teeth whitening system says to leave the tray in my mouth for 30 to 60 minutes. Will the tray be any more effective if I leave it in for longer than 60 minutes? Will this damage my teeth/gums in any way?

What teeth whitening method do you think is better, laser or the gel trays?
I'm referring to whitening options from the dentist. My teeth aren't badly stained, but the over-the-counter stuff wasn't doing anything for me. I'm leaning towards laser because I'm afraid the chemicals in the gel trays getting absorbed into my gums. And which is better price wise? What are your thoughts?

Angel Kisses 2504:I would say gel trays, you control the length of time you bleach or Whiten your teeth, and you can do it at home when ever you want and you can touch up your teeth how ever often you need to as long as you have the custom trays, although the laser light whitens you quicker, they end up giving you th...

Do teeth whitening strips damage the enamel?
I've heard whitening strips damage the enamel. Is this true? If you know for sure how they work and whether or not it's safe, please let me know. If they do damage your teeth, is there another, safer, method of whitening your teeth?

pirategrl:Yes, they weaken your enamel. Most over the counter whiteners are meant to produce results in a very short period of time, and use ingredients that are very harsh. You'll get white teeth, but you'll also get tooth and gum sensitivity. You may not be able to drink hot or cold beverages some a few ... More...

Teeth whitening gum; the effects seem short term. How does it work?
Does it mearly coat the teeth in a whitening substance?

LaLa: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 Orb... More...

Is teeth whitening toothpaste bad for you?
I was going to get this crest toothpaste today which stated that it "whitens" your teeth. My mother said that i shouldn't get those teeth whitening toothpastes because they're bad for your teeth. So i just switched to this colgate one that supposedly just cleans your teeth well.

Why exactly is whitening toothpaste bad for your teeth?

abbielabbie:Whitening toothpaste is not "bad" for you....but for people with sensitive teeth, it is more abrasive which can make teeth more sensitive. Whitening toothpaste really does not "whiten" your teeth significantly, but it does help prevent additional staining because of its abrasiveness and take care o... More...


What Foods to Avoid After Teeth Whitening?
I just got my teeth whitened two hours ago via BriteWhite. I am pleased with the results and want to do everything possible to further the whitening and prevent the stains from returning.

My questions is what foods, drinks, and drugs/vitamins (if any) to avoid for the first day or two, and then what food, drinks, or drugs/vitamins (if any) to avoid permanently.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Anne2:Coffee, tea, soda, anything colored. Your teeth will absorb any color for about three days, until they re harden. I know, I wanted a cup of coffee so bad. Just clear liquids, I did not even eat thing like tomatoes, peaches, cherries, that had color. costs too much to ruin the smile. I even bought wh... More...
