How can I get whiter teeth?
Some toothpastes claim to whiten teeth. There's nothing wrong with using whitening toothpastes as long as they also contain fluoride and ingredients that fight plaque and tartar. Log on to http://tipsfromruby-teethcare.blogspot.c... tips to have sparkle on your teeth and keep them in good.

Reply:2 minutes? the reason you brush is to remove plaque... some people can do this quickly, some people are not as skilled... brushing removes plaque on the outer surfaces of the teeth.. you must also floss daily to remove plaque from between your teeth...


do yourself a favor and have a dental hygienist spend a little time with you and show you the correct way to brush and floss.. this will help to prevent dental disease and enable you to keep your teeth all your life...


the only thing that will truly whiten your teeth is a bleach.. . ( not clorox ) tooth bleaching agents use a chemical similar to hydrogen peroxide in a gel to whiten teeth...


crest white strips work fairly well if you stick to it and follow the directions.. you can buy these at any drug store...


if money is not an option, you can go to a dentists office and have your teeth bleached in office... they use a light called zoom along with a stronger bleaching agent... your teeth can be sensative after this..


a dentist can also take models of our mouth and make a custom tray that fits your teeth exactly.. he will then give you some bleaching gel to take home and put in the trays every night for a few weeks.. this works well, but can also lead to sensativity.


it is very important to stay away from foods that stain your teeth while you are in the process of bleaching them...


if you pick any method of whitening your teeth that you dont get directly from your dentist, make sure the product is approved by the american dental association... if it is, it will say so on the box. this is very important... you will not grow another set of teeth if you mess these up... Good Luck!
Reply:Hydrogen peroxide is probably the most common and popular natural lightening agent. Apple cider vinegar can also be used for teeth whitening. More remedies and information regarding your teeth at http://useinfo-dentalcare.blogspot.com/
Reply:Ask your dentist if you're a good candidate for whitening, since results can vary. Yellowed teeth generally lighten well; darkened grayish or brownish teeth may not.





Try over-the-counter products, which have low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. A dental tray and gel kit can be used for a short time each day to lighten teeth one to two shades in two weeks, at best. Whitening strips cover the six front teeth--which must be even--for similar results, and keep peroxide on teeth and off gums. Paint-on gels get similar results and cover more teeth, but can be messy to use. Hydrogen peroxide works faster than carbamide (see Step 3), but takes longer to get results and deactivates faster. These are the least-expensive treatments to use when staining reoccurs due to beverages and smoking.





Use a dentist-made tray at home twice daily for an hour for a couple of weeks, or wear it overnight. The gel's active ingredient is 10, 15 or 20 percent carbamide peroxide, which is gentler than hydrogen peroxide. Teeth could lighten several shades depending on the strength of the gel used. Higher percentages work faster but also increase the chance of teeth sensitivity. Ask your dentist for whitening products that include fluoride to reduce sensitivity. Cost: $300 to $450.





Whiten your teeth by up to 10 shades in one 60- to 90-minute session with a potent, light-activated bleaching formula of 35 percent hydrogen peroxide. Cost: $500 to $1,100.





Consider porcelain veneers or bonding if you have conditions where bleaching isn't effective, such as tetracycline or intrinsic staining. Bonding is a resin that's contoured over teeth. Veneers are thin porcelain manufactured in a laboratory. Cost: $500 to $1,500 per tooth for porcelain veneers, $150 to $300 for bonding.





Keep in mind that two to three weeks of whitening by over-the-counter products equals one week of overnight tray treatment from the dentist--and may well equal one hour of the light-activated treatments.





Hoep this helps!
