I already have pretty white teeth I've been told. I've never done anything special to them, they are just really white....but I would like them whiter. Any ideas on any remedies of any sorts to make them whiter? I would like a remedy that won't make my teeth sensitive
Whiter teeth?????
Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others.The results are usually pretty quick, noticeable in the first few days, best in a week or longer. Our office uses Crest Supreme which are much stronger than what you can buy in a drugstore and don't cost that much more ($60.00 vs $30.00). You can purchase the drugstore version, but if you can do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar or plaque) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). The strips are probably your best low price alternative, much less than in office whitening or custom trays (about $500.00). I am also hearing happy reviews with the Aquafresh whitening trays, unlike the strips they don't have the tendency to slip or move). All of the methods (strips, trays, custom trays, in office whitening) have the potential to make your teeth temporarily sensitive, but will not harm the enamel. If you get sensitive use the product every other day in conjunction with a sensitive tooth toothpaste. You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again.
Good luck!

WHiTER TEETH?!?
My natural tooth color is a yellow off-white.
Even when the dentist cleans it, it's the same off-white. How can I ge whiter teeth? Is there a toothpaste that bleaches your teeth white? I dont smoke or drink or anything.
WHiTER TEETH?!?
Sometimes coffee stains can be the cause. Try getting a toothpaste with extra whitening. Also strawberries have been known to whiten teeth.
Reply:you could try the strips, my mom used them for a while and they worked. there is toothpaste like that, but it doesn't work very well, you know crest whitening? or you could talk to your dentist. i think they can do something to you teeth. i may get it done because i have some discoloring to.
:D

Reply:oo go to like wal mart and get this stuff its called 5 minute whitening i started using it like a week ago and my teeth look so much better every1s like wow ur teeth r so white lol it works
Reply:Why don't you tryout those white strip from Crest, you can found them at Target or Wal-mart. Just put them on when you go to sleep, and keep doing it long term to keep the yellow off your smile.
Reply:It can make your teeth sensitive (but that's a risk with any type of whitening), but you could mix together a little bit of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide until it becomes a sort of paste. Then brush with it a few times a week - both ingredients are cheap to say the least and the basic ingredients in tooth paste and teeth whiteners!

Whiter teeth?
I've been trying to get whiter teeth for about two years now, and I still don't get why my teeth aren't white yet (they're close I guess). I have used Crest White Strips (have about 6 left), but I haven't seen major results.. so I don't know if I am putting them on correctly.
I brush like 5 times a day (when I wake up, after breakfast, after school, after dinner, before I sleep) with Crest Whitening toothpaste, Sonicare toothbrush (new brush head), and Listerine. And sometimes I add in Listerine Whitening before some brushes.
It's amazing how with all that, my teeth still aren't "pure white" yet. Any suggestions or help?
Whiter teeth?
Get Mc'Cleans Triumph they tell you how long you have been brushing for if you need more because you got more bacteria and if a smiley comes up it means that all of the bacteria is gone and it made my teeth white in a week.
It is amazing
Reply:Sorry im not answering just commenting:
Wtf man 5 times a day? What kinda freak are you?
I think a few times per week is enough. At least has been for me.
Reply:WHy havent you tried bleaching yet? Also, it depends on the base color of your tooth, if your tooth's base color is off white, you never going to get it any whiter than that...

Whiter teeth?
I want to have whit er teeth and I`ve tried all the tooth-pastes which say `Whiter teeth in two week` washin my teeth twice a day,but with no results. Do you know any natural treatments because I am starting to give up whiting my teeth!
Whiter teeth?
i would say the best thing for you to do is that you go to your Dentist and ask them if they do whitten trays or the laser whittening. The laser treatment will give you results right away with mild sensitivity it will also whitten them by up to 4-6 shades in one sitting. But sometimes your dentist will also have a personal whittening tray you could use as well. They would take a impression and make a tray (kinda like a retainer) and a bleaching kit to go with it all you do is take it home and do it at home for about 1-2 hrs a day and they will whitten by 2 weeks. The trays do have some sensitvity when using them but not as much as the strips you buy in the store and its not so harsh on your teeth or gums...hope this helps

Reply:If you want to have whiter teeth, you have two ways to achieve it. You can buy teeth whitening products or you can have a dentist perform teeth whitening procedure. Using teeth whitening gel or toothpaste is cheap but you are not guaranteed results. Going to a doctor, on the other hand, may be a tad pricey but a dentist is trained and qualified to perform teeth whitening procedures with great results.
Some dentists use the laser teeth whitening process to whiten teeth. Before performing this teeth whitening procedure, your dentist will clean your teeth. Next gel will be applied to your teeth. The gel has strong whitening chemicals. After applying the gel, the dentist will place your teeth under a laser to accelerate the teeth whitening process. The Zoom laser, used by many dentists, causes teeth to whiten in less than an hour. With only a single session, you can have whiter teeth that will remain white for over a year.
Dentists are trained to find out the level of discoloration in your teeth. For your teeth whitening need, your dentist will be able to recommend a suitable treatment to make your teeth white. You will simply be wasting time and money trying all kinds of teeth whitening gels and toothpastes that bring no results. Sit with a dentist and get professional advice and results.
If you go to your dentist for a teeth-whitening procedure, your dentist will also be able to give you advice on how to maintain your new white teeth. While it's true that you will be spending a considerable amount of money when you go to a dentist, the cost is worth it because you will be getting quality service and advice.

those white strips things they sell at stores do not whiten as effectively, and it is uneven, so ur teeth will only be white in some spots, making your discolored teeth more noticeable.
Reply:To tell you the truth, it may be expensive (around $30), but Crest Whitestripes work WONDERS!
I used them when I was like 14 and up until I was like 17 people still asked if I had gotten my teeth whitened!
You should try them. You can buy them anywhere. Grocery stores, Wal-Mart, CVS-Rite-Aid types of stores....

How can i get whiter teeth i started brushing my teeth all the time. And there still yellow and i have no clue how they turned yellow how can i get my teeth whiter, if i still keep brushing will it turn white, is ther any recommended tooth paste?

Crest white strips really work. It does not take long to see results. You can keep them on and forget about them, if you do, they will not do anything to your teeth. The only down side about them is that they cause some people's teeth to become sensitive after use.
Reply:There are several options to whiten your teeth, all the way from asking a dentist to do it for you or buying a whitening kit and doing it at home. This article has the details.
Reply:I used those Crest Whitestrips. They really do work! You can get then at any supermarket, pharmacy, target, walmart etc...
I asked my dentist about them and he said it is the same stuff they use at the denists office, and it is way cheaper.
Reply:Use Hydrogen peroxide as mouthwash..just let it sit in you mouth for a minute or two (Making sure not to swallow any)..then spit it out and brush your teeth..
That seems to work really well for me..but if you still want more, you can either do that again, or brush your teeth with baking soda, it works really good too..=]
Reply:Well they sell different types of teeth whitening products at walmart or any drug stores. They have the strips %26amp; the ones that you put on and
then brush off in the morning or you could go to the dentist %26amp; have it done but that would be way more expensive.
Reply:First thing is to visit your dentist and get a cleaning, you can not whiten overtop of Plaque or tartar. Then once your teeth have been cleaned they will whiten better. You have a few choices here; in-office whitening (this is done in the dentists office, is very quick and effective. But will cause the most sensitivity), out of office (they will take moulds of your teeth and give your a whitening agent to wear in the trays they make. Also effective, but usually takes about 2 weeks to get to desired whitening. Not as sensitive). Over the counter- ie: Whitestrips- work OK, less sensitivy, but does not work as well as the professional systems.
Toothpastes and mouthwashes do not whiten teeth, they only remove some of the stains that are built up. Once you have whitened, you will need to touch up the whitening probably yearly, depending on how much Coffee, tea and soda you drink, these all stain teeth. You should also be brushing twice a day and flossing daily to keep your teeth their whitest.
NEVER use HYDROGEN PEROXIDE in your mouth, this is very bad for your tissues (gums, tongue, etc.)

Whiter teeth.?
I got white fillngs in some teeth last year %26amp; ever since I have had very sensitive teeth. I cant eat/drink anyting too hot or cold,I cant chew gum cause it makes my teeth hurt,%26amp; I cant eat anything really hard..and someties my teeth hurt for no reason for a few days..I got the zoom bleaching after my fillings I paid $550.00 for it %26amp; couldnt do it. after 3 mins my teeth were hurting in bad pain so I had to stop it %26amp; they wont refund my money. I have tried everything. I use baking soda everyday %26amp; I brush my teeth more then i should. my teeth isnt yellow but i want my teeth more whiter. is there anything i can do for being so sensitive %26amp; make my teeth whiter? I have tried everything.
please help %26amp; thank you
Whiter teeth.?
It's not uncommon to have heat/cold sensitivity after a filling. If you already have sensitive teeth, any type of whiting product, even the whiting strips, can make the sensitivity worse and be very painful while undergoing the whiting process. Sensodyne does make whitening formula toothpaste. It won't work as well as Zoom whitening but it won't be painful either! If you don't want to use Sensodyne, look for toothpaste that DOES NOT say it is for tarter control. Tarter control toothpaste can often make sensitive teeth more sensitive.
One other thing to think about...the way you are brushing. Are you brushing too hard, or using a medium or hard toothbrush? You mention that you brush more often than you should; you could be doing more harm than good. Also, a toothpaste with baking soda as an ingredient is OK, baking soda by itself is not generally recommended for brushing your teeth with, and you may be wearing off the enamel on your teeth, which would be contributing to the sensitivity you are experiencing.
Reply:My friend also had the bleaching done, she has the same problem. She just started drinking more milk and using enamel restoring toothpaste and it helped
Reply:stop smoking, drink water after drinking coffee ,wash teeth 2 times a day
Reply:use sensodine tooth paste. stop using baking soda. baking soda is an abrasive substance . it removes the dentine that is the coat that protects ur teeth. be gentle with ur teet, they are the only ones u will have the rest of ur life. there is no need to use harsh substances. brush and flus every day that is all u need to do.
on ur fillings, maybe the dentist DID NOT do a good job. go back and tell him/her ur problem
Reply:mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide ,3 parts water ,rinse like mouthwash ,brush teeth with it in your mouth .once to twice a day
