tooth whitening?
Posted in Dental by: adminJanuary 26th, 2008
hi! my teeth had been yellow since i was a child. and my brother and mother’s teeth is yellow too. we don’t smoke or drink coffee that might cause the stain and my mother didn’t take tetracycline while she was pregnant.i think it just runs in the family. what do you think is the best procedure or product for me? i am afraid of trying tooth whitening procedures at my dental’s office coz they say it might cause brittleness of the teeth. what is the most effective? tooth whitening procedures or tooth whitening products?
tnx

Change dentist. I too have the same problem as did my daughter. I thought it was just something we had to live with but that is not the case. My daughter went and had her teeth done at the dentist and they came out great. I went and although I don’t have white Chiclets like the movie stars my teeth are a nice ivory and I am really pleased. Don’t wait until you are in your 60s like I did. Go for it.

Do the Britesmile. Right now it’s only $400 (compared to $600) and it works great, and the results will last years if you dont smoke or drink coffee. Your teeth will only be sensitive the first day or so, but after that they go back to normal.

Try Colgate Whitestrips.

I am a dental hygienist and I have done the tray whitenining and the zoom whitening. I loved the change. It worked great. I know offices charge different prices and some much more expensive then others. The zoom is an in-office procedure that takes about 1 1/2 hours. You will love the results. Shop around for prices. The office down the street from mine costs $400 and our office charges $199. the trays work well too, but just take a little longer than the zoom. You also might want to try LISTERINE WHITENING> I have seen amazing results with this as well. Mush cheaper and is just a pre-brush rinse. It to however takes a little longer to get results.
I have done the zoom, use the touch-up kits witrh the bleach tarsy once a month or so and uyse listenine whitening rinse every day andd my teeth are very nice and white.

Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and
are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural
tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries
but certain precautions have to be taken.
