Teeth Whitening
 

I was thinking about getting one of those "do it yourself" tooth whiteners from Wal-Mart or something. Does anyone have any information or experience with them? Which brand is good? Is there anything else I should try?

I've tried that tooth whitening toothpaste but that hasn't worked for me at all. I don't drink coffee or smoke so my teeth are horribly bad. I'd just like to get them a bit whiter.

heard of a dentist?

I go every 6 months and get the flouride (sp?) treatment anyway.

o, i tried that out, it costs. but i have sensitive teeth, so one time i put one on and it stung the shit out of my teeth. you need to use them alot too for results. but it works,its worth it. biggrin:

how much did you pay for the kit? Are your teeth more sensitive now that you did the "procedure"?

Either pay 100 bucks for a dentist bleaching, or use the white strips. takes 3 treatments to get you the white result you want. If you keep up you brushing etc afterwards, it will last for anywhere to 6 months to 3 years.

take care of ur teeth. Mine are white, real white like those actors you see on tv, and I don't bleach my teeth........brush more.

It's just like how some people hardly brush their teeth and they never had a cavity in their life. I brush 2-3 times a day for about 3mins each brush and still get cavities.

Keep your mouth closed at all times, it'll save you a lot of money my hairy friend.

I brush once a day, only had one cavity my whole life, then all of a sudden, I have to go get a root canal... fucking sucks.

I'm thinking about getting one of those kits where you can make your own customizable tray to put the gel in. From the small amount of research I did, they seem to be pretty cheap ($15-20$) that will last a few months.

Careful. ^ Some of those chemicals can cause your gums to receed, causing more problems.

Ok, here's what i went through. I tried the "home kit"...didn't really work. What you need to do is have it done professionally by a dentist and keep up with it with the home kits. Don't over due it though because it makes your teeth and gums sensitive.

Also, i brush my teeth at least 3 times a day, sometimes 5. Dentist told me it's a lil' too much, i could wear down the finish on the teeth themselves and also my gums. I can't help it, i have this thing about oral hygeine.

the professional dentist procedure, i saw, can cost up to $800 wallbash:

i think its more along the lines of 500 bucks to have it done professionally.
ive thought about myself since i smoke like keith richards and drink more coffee than vuan baldez

happy:

LOL.

I need to get braces. loney:

I know this one girl who looks like a model but she is 14, her teeth are white and straight... actor-like. oOo:

My teeth are white. I brush 2 times day, and have a little thing of listerine i keep in my backpack for skewl

I'll probably be trying a kit out once I get my braces taken off.

I've tried those crest white strips, did 'em for two weeks and got a noticable difference, brushing does nothing but clean your teeth. white strips cost me $40 for the 2 week one, and there is also a one week one which is $50. you can always buy 2 boxes of 2 weeks ones and set u back $80 but you will see a noticable difference.

Who do you have to impress?

I fucking hated them on my teeth, they feel so gross for 30 mins.

meh, didnt bother me. it's just peroxide on the little strips. the ones you put on your bottom teeth are a pain in the ass to keep them on.

no one, I do it for myself

Crest Whitestrips work great

That's so sad...

And brushing does help whiten teeth. Plaque is what makes your teeth yellow, so if you brush it away before it stains, you'll maintain whiter teeth

brushing will brush OFF the plaque thus not resulting in yellow(er) teeth, your teeth will not get any whiter. but not any yellower either.

True, ive been getting my teeth cleaned every 6 months, and that makes your teeth white enough, you just gotta maintain them and you're chill

good ol canada, i get all of that done 3 or 4 times ayear for free, my dads work health plan covers me and my family dance:
