What are some ways to whiten teeth naturally? I heard that eating apples helps..any others? I am also using white strips. Thanks!
Answer:
Well I don't know what you can eat but I know what you can avoid: Sodas, Coffee, Candy, anything "acidy".You could also chew bark like the Indians did :)
Put *** On Your Teeth...
No Joke.
I read about apples too. Something I read recently (for the life of me, I can't remember what, I wanted to read it again) talked about different fruits had "stuff" in them that naturally "cleans and whitens the teeth." See if you can do a search for that subject. Don't drink sodas or coffee if you want them white though. Or smoke. (From experience.)
I found lots of good information here.

Whitening teeth.?
what are good products for whitening teeth, after braces come off, that isent expensive?
Answer:
The least expensive way to whiten teeth is brushing with baking soda. Keep the toothbrush moist and cover about one quarter of the brush with the baking soda. This may have to be repeated during one brushing. Do this once a day every other day and gradually your teeth will whiten to their fullest potential.
Baking soda is the prime ingredient in whitening toothpastes.
you could go the a drugstore like rite aid, walgreens, etc
they have good ones for teeth whitening
like crest whitestrips premium a little pricey though good luck
get crest whitening mouthwash . it worked for me
i used 7-day dissolvable whitening strips from rite aid (rite aid brand). they worked pretty well for me. i haven't used any other whitening products though, so i don't have anything to compare them to. good luck ;)

Whitening teeth(at home )?
what can help by whitenin toothpaste(at home).like put something in there, i dont want a big list of ingredient just somthing simple!!..but that works
Answer:
After you brush, try baking soda it really helps.
The best thing you can do is brush thoroughly morning, noon, and night - sometimes in the mid-afternoon if you're feeling the junk on your teeth.
Getting sun will help whiten your teeth. Spend time outside, but be sure to use sunscreen. Sun won't damage your teeth like it will damage your skin - and it's free.
I saw a dentist give this "recipe" for home tooth whitening on a morning tv news show:
Mix equal parts (1tablespoon each) hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Brush like you normally would, but leave in your mouth for a few minutes.
Your teeth should shine, according to this dentist.
Basically, it has a rougher ingredient placed in it to help polish off more of the stuff that is on your teeth like coffee, etc.
That is basically what is in the prophy paste dental hygienists use to polish stains off at the dental office.
the crest whiting strips helped me
Depends on the age.. Younger people have a better chance to get a faster result. As you get older your teeth change color and usually will only go a shade lighter than they currently are... I tried all the things at home and then had to get more advise.. Not worth doing unless you get the fake crap the stars have..
try crest whitestrips.
it says leave it on for 30 minutes, but i suggest leaving it on overnight. it doesnt remove too much enamel and you wake up with a beautiful smile!hope i helped!
:D
toothpaste just breaks up the surface stains. The peroxide in these pastes doesn't spend enough time on your teeth to do a whole lot for the internal staining. My dentist made whitening trays for me and they work great.

Whitening Product.?
I know about the tooth whitening strips, but I saw a ad about something that looks kind of like a mouth gaurd that you slip over your teeth during the day (and you cant notice it) so that way you can whiten your teeth during the day. Does anyone know the name of the product?
Answer:
It's aqua fresh whitening trays...they are better than the strips. Cost more too. 35 bucks is what I spent and that only gives you a weeks worth. But, they work great.
Aquafresh whitening trays?
Or whitening trays from a dentist?
=)

Whitening of teeth?
I've heard that if you have implants or bridges ( in the front of your mouth ) that it is not good to have the whitening process ( from the dentist or over the counter ) done, due to the implant or bridge will not change in color. Is this correct ?? If not, what do you think would work ?
Answer:
Yes this is correct. Only your natural enamel will change color. Its not bad for you to do this, it will make the bridge, implant or any other prosthetics stand out. That is why a patient should always be give the option to whiten prior to the crown, bridge, implant, restoration being placed.
Unfortunately, nothing will work :(
You would be correct, only your natural teeth will whiten.

Whitened Gums?
I got my teeth whitened and my gums actually got whitened with it. What do I do now? How do I get rid of white gums?
Answer:
wat da? brush again
Ha, I don't know, that's funny. With vanity comes idiotness!
First off, don't worry. Peroxide can and does bleach any surface it come into contact with...even finger tips. Your gingiva should return to normal within the week as new cells generate. One possible (temporary) side effect is that of hypersensitivity from the whitening treatment. I recommend 600mg of Advil to prevent pain. Enjoy your new whiter smile!
Since it's been six days after you posted the question...have your gums gone closer back to their normal color since then?
you should speak to a dentist this could be something else
