Whiter Teeth?!?

I have school pictures in 3 days!?!? I was wondering how I could get whiteer teeth within that time preiod. I'm pretty low on cash, so home recipies would be a miracle for me. PLEASE HELP!!

Whiter Teeth?!?
Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others.The results are usually pretty quick, noticeable in the first few days, best in a week or longer. Our office uses Crest Supreme which are much stronger than what you can buy in a drugstore and don't cost that much more ($60.00 vs $30.00). You can purchase the drugstore version, but if you can do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar or plaque) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). The strips are probably your best low price alternative, much less than in office whitening or custom trays (about $500.00). I am also hearing happy reviews with the Aquafresh whitening trays, unlike the strips they don't have the tendency to slip or move). All of the methods (strips, trays, custom trays, in office whitening) have the potential to make your teeth temporarily sensitive, but will not harm the enamel. If you get sensitive use the product every other day in conjunction with a sensitive tooth toothpaste. You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again.





Good luck!

Reply:This mixture works perfectly: Mix Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda in a little dish and brush with it before using your normal toothpaste. Also, switch to Crest Expressions toothpaste which helps remove surface stains.





Try avoiding "teeth staining" foods like coffee and soda from now until after your school pictures. Good Luck!
