Teeth Whitening?
#7786908 - 12/21/07 07:51 PM (16 years, 1 month ago) |

All issues concerning vanity aside, has anyone ever had problems with keeping their teeth on the whiter side? I brush 2-3 times a day with Arm and Hammer Baking Soda extra whitening toothpaste, and I still can't get to that pearly white that I so desire.
How much does dentist whitening cost? And is it effective? What am I doing wrong?

shyt i'm no dentist but there are other things that can stain your teeth..
think about it.
do you drink sodas/coffe/smoke cigarettes?
that all stains your teeth (which is why i dont do it)
if so maybe quit doing that and you will have whiter teeth.
also.. somedays mine are whiter than others, i dont know why this is 
my girl always gets pissed at me cuz i dont brush em at night.
and that listerine whitening mouthwash worked well for me..
i haven't tried any of the strips or whatever.. i naturally have pretty healthy teeth.

I haven't tried it myself but I have witnessed results from the white strips you can get at any self respecting pharmacy.

i am using those right now, such a fucking mess and i hear they are really abusive on the gumline.
also, i don't smoke, i don't drink coffee, i have a soda maybe 4 times a week. i could easily stop that, but i somehow get the feeling that it's not the sole culprit. is there a particular toothpaste brand that whitens better than others?

I think it's about $100 for a set of custom trays for your top and bottom teeth and a couple syringes of the whitening stuff. Depends on the dentist you go to I guess. After four days you see a serious difference and from then on you just apply it everyday till you reach your desired whiteness. All you have to do is put a little drop of the whitening gel on the trays and then put them on for an hour every night. Don't keep them on overnight, bad news.

i doubt insurance would cover it, as i think it's considered cosmetic and not 'needed'. but i don't know shit.

well, i think once they're white if you continue to brush like you have been (2-3 times a day) they should stay pretty white, just gotta take care of them afterwards.
