I have braces. how do i get whiter teeth?

i heard that using baking soda helps....any other suggestions?

I have braces. how do i get whiter teeth?
As a orthodontic assistant I want to let you know that you do not want to use anything to whiten your teeth while you have braces. The product that you use cannot get behind the brackets on your teeth...so therefore it will whiten around your brackets and when you have your braces removed you will have yellow squares on your teeth where your brackets were. The best thing you can do it to just brush after every meal and floss. Once your braces are off then you can worry about whitening your teeth.
Reply:try peroxide...just don't get it on your gums...also try a tooth whitening toothpaste
Reply:well i am getting braces too. to keep your teeth white you have to use a special toothbrush found at the drug store.
Reply:i wouldnt whiten my teeth until the braces come off becuase then the part of the tooth that is glued to the braces is going to be yellower. Once you have your braces off i suggest white strips.
Reply:brush


floss


risne with kids act or listerine


DAILY... one day doing this wont help you will see a difference after like 2 days
Reply:Yeah, baking soda is good...you have to use it every night though for a while and brush it onto your teeth. If you want whiter teeth with storebought items, I would wait till your braces come off...both my sister and I did, and mine just came off about two years ago (after they came off my teeth stayed white, too). My sister asked the orthodontist for whitener and he gave her a $100 kit free!
Reply:I currently have braces and I just use the Whitening toothpastes. You can't bleach with them. Baking soda does work good though.
Reply:Just keep them clean while you are in braces. When the braces come off, have your teeth bleached whiter.


What's the best way to get whiter teeth without paying for expensive dental work? - i'm a smoker?

i know a lot of people will say stop smoking but forget that. i find brushing once regularly then again harder with just water cleans them well. then eating foods such as pears and apples afterwards keeps them clean. im not sure you can get them much whiter without paying for it but im sure after time the cleaner they are the whiter they are


hope this works


keep smiling anyway!

What's the best way to get whiter teeth without paying for expensive dental work? - i'm a smoker?
tooth whitening damages the enamel and will eventually make your teeth hurt and maybe get decay, i would try the laser treatments.
Reply:Use smokers toothpaste............
Reply:The best way is to stop smoking they will become white gradually.


PLUS You will help your teeth's, lungs, throat, heart, fingers, eyes, stinky clothes, stinky car, empty pocket, fat piggy bank, a HAPPY and HEALTHY FAMILY.


I heard they say that if you brush your teeth's with baking soda, it helps.
Reply:STOP SMOKING.....simple really
Reply:rinse your mouth with bleach,it works a treat
Reply: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.





I also recommend Neydent toothpaste and an Ionic toothbrush.
Reply:Use a whitening toothpaste every day. I have been a heavy smoker for 10 years and at my recent dental appointment the dentist said that she would have not known I was a smoker looking at my teeth. I can only assume it was down to the toothpaste.


Are there any cheap ways to get whiter teeth?

I have aloe vera whitening toothgel stuff, but i can't see any difference. I already know i shouldn't drink fizzy drinks/coffee/tea.

Are there any cheap ways to get whiter teeth?
crest white strips are AMAZING and they keep your teeth white for literally, years. they're not THAT cheap, they run from 20-30 dollars BUT they're the cheapest and most effective thing on the market, compared to getting it professionally done. they are SO worth it.
Reply:Baking Soda is the Cheapest way to get whiter teeth. It works really well as I have tried it and I love it!!!! That other stuff can be expensive. Also, I wouldn;t use it everyday though and Hydrogen Peroxide is dangerous for your internal organs, I wouldn't try it (again). Report It

Reply:a product that is really great is called eucryl its a tooth powder and u use it dry but it works really well
Reply:You could try baking soda, it does help a bit, tastes awful though.
Reply:try the kits from the chemist
Reply:toothpaste
Reply:try a really good toothpaste called pearl drops whitening. it worked for me.
Reply:simply white by Colgate is very good.


you can also find other similar products,strips,pastes,gels etc..
Reply:yu could buy those strip on that makes your teeth whiter in 2 weeks it really works my sister started useing them and you could really tell the difference
Reply:steal your grannies gnashers
Reply:you could try brushing them!


Salt is cheap!!
Reply:get a $20.00 whitening kit - like Rembrants. It works great and fast and your teeth will look whiter for 6 mons to a year. I know it sounds expensive - but it really is worth it.
Reply:"Fizzy" drinks (I think you mean carbonated) are fine as long as they're not colas. You might try Crest whitening strips. They are effective. I think most of the whitening strips on the market work equally well for that matter as long as the directions are followed exactly.





The kit by Rembrandt (mentioned by the young woman above me) is a good investment, too.
Reply:yeah it's called crest or you can try clorox... don't swallow now
Reply:I buy mine .
Reply:use pearl drops electric for electric toothbrushes it really works you'll notice after 7 days
Reply:If it's just white teeth you're after, tippex will probably do a good job.





If you want a method that doesn't involve your teeth falling out, there are some good whitening toothpastes out there. Ask your pharmicist or something.
Reply:. . . Dulux Brilliant White (any B%26amp;Q store) . . .
Reply:NO.
Reply:Baking soda wears away at the enamel on your teeth. Using it once in a while like before a big event is okay.





Hydrogen Peroxide works really well, but it kills bacteria in your mouth, both good and bad. It is safe, it even lists mouthwash as a use on the label. Some warnings though: 1. Don't use it for more than ten days in a row because after ten days you run the risk of getting a black hairy tongue. 2. Do it at least 10 hours before going anywhere. It will turn your gums white for a couple hours.





I hope I helped and good luck!
Reply:B%26amp;Q value gloss paint
Reply:bicarbonate of soda works a treat
Reply:no, do not waste your money an anything shop bought because they are not allowed to use the correct strength of bleaching agent needed to change the colour of your teeth
Reply:TEETH SHOULD BE OF IVORY COLOR. THAT IS HEALTHY. WHITE TEETH ARE NOT HEALTHY. USE DABUR HERBAL PASTE AND BRUSH SUPPLIED BY THEM. SOFT BUSH-BRUSH BEFORE U GO TO BED. MORNING BRUSH SOFTLY WITH SAME PASTE. iT HARDENS AND CLEANS. i AM 75. I HAVE BETTER RESULTS BY ABOVE PRESCRIPTION
Reply:You can use the over the counter tooth whitening systems. Rembrandt is more than likely the best bet. But, I have question for you. Do you have any crown and bridge work? If you do, you must remember that crowns and bridges do not, I repeat, do not bleach. And you also should know that your teeth will regain mush of the color over a period of time.
Reply:Any of the peroxide strips you apply at night will help and use Utrabrite tooth paste containing peroxide
Reply:invest money in a decent "whitening" toothbrush, i have this Oral-B model which has a rubber brisle thinggy, which has a polishing effect, also adjust the motion of your brushing to a "gentle" and i mean "GENTLE" circular motion, as scrubbing too hard or side to side damages your teeth by wearing off the natural enamel which keep our teeth in good nick and this leaves them open to staining, also "always brush twice a day, everyday, 1st thing in the morning to get rid of the grimies from the night before and at night to get rid of the grimies from day just had, hope this helps babe! worked for me
Reply:Pearl drops, chewing sugarless gum
Reply:Baking Soda...
Reply:I think most over the counter tooth whiteners are somewhat ineffective and some can be dangerous. go to the dentist. Its not all that expensive, and you know what your getting. You can get a dental discount plan through this site, that will make the process much less expensive.

Is there a natural way to have whiter teeth?

Raw veggies will clean your teeth so you not only have a healthy snack, you are cleaning your teeth at the same time.


Strawberries have a natural bleaching effect and are loaded with Vitamin C, so you simply can't lose. Rub the pulp over your teeth and then rinse.


Lemon peel massaged over the teeth is often used for whitening. Rinse thoroughly.


Baking soda


Hope you have some luck.

What is the best way to achieve whiter teeth with home remedies?

Baking soda and peroxide really do work.It doesnt take all that long, really.Also, i have heard if you rub a lemon on your teeth every once in a while , it temporarily helps.But is extremley bad for your enamal,which I dont believe.If your teeth are really yellow , and you do not smoke, or drink coffee/teas ,its probably gentic and not much you can do without seeing a dentist.If you are smoking,drinking coffee,etc- the baking soda method will only help if you quit what is making your teeth yellow in the first place.Everyone could use a lil whitening sometimes -so if are only noticing a tad of color change-baking soda works great!

What is the best way to achieve whiter teeth with home remedies?
There is no home remedy. You need to use the whitening strips or gel with mouth trays.
