I need white teeth by next month help please!?
The baking soda every once in awhile is ok, too frequently is bad for the enamel and the tissue. So let's start from the beginning and see if we can get you the white that will keep you smiling!





To start with the best and easiest way is to see your dentist for a cleaning. They can remove the stains caused from the coffee, tea and smoking. Then the rest is up to your home care in keeping the stains off. Once you get the stains removed, it will be a lot easier to keep them off! Using a soft toothbrush and whitening toothpaste can do wonders alone, but sometimes you need a little extra help.





If you want the hollywood white, then talk to the dentist about home bleaching. He/she will suggest two different methods that are known to work well. One is bleaching trays that are custom made from impressions taken of your teeth. These work with a solution the dentist provides for you. The other is the in house, or one hour bleaching method that the doctor or his assistant preforms at the office.





The custom trays ususally takes a few minutes to a couple of hours a day for about two weeks to reach your desired results. Most patients I've found love this type of whitening. It allows them the freedom to judge when they need to "touch up" by bleaching whenever they feel their teeth have gotten stained from time, coffee, tea, wines and other things. It also allows them to touch up again months, or years down the road. The average cost of this is around $200-400. It's the method of bleaching I've used for over 15 years now, and I highly recommend this one.





Then there is the one hour system that the dentist does in his office, it's quiet expensive though, somewhere around the $600-$700 area. Some dentist don't use it or recomend it due to the sensitivity it causes. It's bleaching usually last for a couple of years and requires touch up with bleaching pens and mouthwashes which are expensive too. This gives you the instant white but the results aren't lasting.





So, it's really up to you and how much you want to spend to get those "pearly" whites. I would check around on the prices in your area. But the key question is, are you willing to maintain it, with regular appointments with your dentist and diligent home care? Talk to your dentist, they can answer all of your questions. Good luck!





The one hour bleaching I am refering to is the Zoom and Brite Smile, both cause extreme sensitivity. Patients are given oral pain medications in most cases and usually last about a year or two with use of the whitening pen and mouthwashes. I have personally used all three methods of bleaching and still use and prefer my trays.
Reply:you should try the crest white strips, you never know unless you try. if that does not work, or if its not white enough, go see your dentist. they can work wonders. good luck!
Reply:Try "Listerine Whitening." I was a smoker for 14 years, until I recently quit. I use that twice a day before I brush. It has a more concentrated level of peroxide in it than you can purchase in the stores. After about two weeks I notice a major difference in my teeth. Just a word of caution, use as directed. You don't want to mix too many products or over do it with any of them, or else you might do more harm than good to the enamel of your teeth. You might get results faster, but you only have one set of adult teeth!
Reply:white strips work. as for using both whitening toothpaste %26amp; baking soda, it's probably way too abrasive %26amp; will harm or make your teeth very sensitive.





brushing w/ peroxide mixed into a paste w/ baking soda is good for teeth %26amp; gums, but dont do that AND whitening paste
Reply:Try Crewst Whitestrips Premium Plus. It's about $35 a box. You can also use Crest Vivid White Toothpaste--about $3 a tube. None of it will harm your teeth %26amp;%26amp; you'll get quick, dramatic results.
Reply:just pay the 300 bones to get it profeesinally done...
Reply:The fastest way for you to get white teeth is to go to the dentist and let him make you a bleaching tray. The white strips do work but they take longer. The baking soda is not a good idea because it is too abrasive and it will wear the enamel down on your teeth. Your teeth will be more sensitive in the end but ask your doctor for prevident toothpaste for the sensitivity. It works!

Reply:hahaha everyone is their own worst critic, but i don't think your teeth are that yellow! it's natural for teeth to stain, so don't worry. and everyone has that one bad habit--coffee/tea/soda/wine drinking, smoking, etc.





i've used crest white strips, and they work great. they don't harm your teeth, don't weaken your enamel or anything like that.





i've heard that trays work well too.





baking soda is one of the oldest tricks in the books, however, it's actually very rough on the surface of your teeth. brishing with toothpaste and baking soda while using white strips will not speed up the whitening process...if you're looking for extremely fast results, you should definitely look into the Brite Smile teeth whitening or Zoom.





Zoom is a fairly new whitening technology that uses a ultra violet light to activate the bleach gel. Most who have had the zoom procedure done complain about the unusual sensitivity from the UV light. also, it's very pricey.





Another professional whitening treatment that gives you fast results is Brite Smile. Brite Smile is a one hour in-office teeth whitening procedure that is supervised by a licensed dentist. When you come in, the dentist does a general screening of your mouth and answers any questions or concerns you might have regarding the treatment itself. Then, they use shade scales (the same scales used by most dentists for blending fillings, bondings, crowns, etc.) to determine YOUR original starting shade, and then give you an idea of what to expect as far as results. The thing about Brite Smile, is that they get you to your maximum natural whiteness BASED ON YOUR GENETICS. Yes, believe it or not, everyone has a certain endpoint (based on your genetics) to how white your teeth can get. But after the consultation, a dental assistant will come in and begin the isolation process...where they use a liquid barrier material to outline the gums around your teeth and cover up your entire gums so that the bleaching gel doesn't come in contact with it. Then, with the use of a curing light, the liquid barrier hardens right over your gums so nothing will be able to seep through. So the dentist applies the bleaching gel, and the treatment is done in three 20 minute sessions. After an hour, you're all done.





it's a good solution if you want fast results. most of the patients we see have done things like white strips and trays, but found it too much of a hassle to keep up with it for an entire week or so. yes, it is a bit pricey, but it's worth it.
Reply:Whitening strips are a good and less expensive route than a visit to the dentist office. I would suggest eliminating coffee and chocolate. Baking soda and peroxide do help in whitening however you would been to be careful and not use baking soda too often because it can lead to erosion of your teeth and can cause sensitivity along with the whitening strips. Using sensodine (doesn't take much) toothpaste during the process usually takes care of that.
