Which type of tooth whitener works best yet doesn.t break your teeth?

Question

Anything, toothpaste,gel ,strips, lights, etc.

Answer 1

I have never heard of any whiteners breaking your teeth. If you use the strips it does make your teeth more sensitive but just a few days then it goes away. I use the strips twice a year, around 6 months apart, then I use crest Vivid White tooth paste. I always use whiting tooth paste but I use the special kind right after just to give it a boost. Also the right tooth brush will help naturally whiten your teeth. I use an electric Oral B professional care, you can get these for under $100. I would highly suggest you invest in a good electric tooth brush.

I have never heard of whitening "breaking your teeth". I have, however, heard of sensitivity. If you look at a tooth under a microscope, it looks like a honeycomb or several pores. When the whitening agent is applied, it cleans out these areas sometimes exposing tubules (kinda like tooth pores) and can cause sensitivity. This usually can be resolved by sensitivity toothpaste which has tiny particles the "cork" the tubules. Also, Fluoride is valuable in decreasing sensitivity. So basically no matter what product you use, sensitivity may be an issue. As far as picking a product....how much do you want to spen and how bad are your teeth. ZOOM is the fastest and most expensive way, it also has the most sensitivity issues (but does whiten teeth well). You also cannot really control your color. Since it is done in one treatment, you have no choice to slow down applications. If you have your dentist make you custom trays, which can be costly also, but not as much as ZOOM, you can guage your color and usage. If you are getting sensitive, back off a little or ask your doctor for a lower strength. You also now have the custom trays that you can use for touch up later. As far as all of that whitening toothpaste and floss, I believe it is more of a marketing scheme. I learned in school that every toothpaste is technically considered a whitening agent because it removes plaque that can stain and ultimately whitens your teeth. Lastly crest whitening strips. They are just okay at best. They actually can be more of a hassle though. In the long run, you will spend just as much on the strips as you would with custom trays. If you have imperfect teeth (as most of us do) or not completely straight, you can leave dark spots in the area that the plastic film did not reach. Sorry this was so long winded, but there are a lot of factors to consider. Please, whatever you do, make sure you have had a cleaning recently before whitening. Otherwise once you get your teeth cleaned, there will most likely be uneven color.

Crest Supreme whiting strips usually give very good results. However I am a fan of take home trays that your Dentist can provide for you. He/she will take an impression of your teeth, then create trays that contours to your teeth. Next, your dentist will suggest what percentage of whiting solution is best for you...most offices sell anywhere between 14%-22%. This can run approximately $300 or so. If that's not in your budget than go with Crest white strips!!

Answer 4

The best whitener are the ones they have in dental offices like luma arch and britesmile things like that. However crest whitestrips work just as nice as long as you use them as directed. I used them when I was 16 Im 23 now and I still get compliments on how white my teeth look.

Answer 5

I read an article that stated that all of the options that are out in the open market work very good, as long as the directions are followed. They also warn that the processes actually dehydrate teeth so it is crucial that when using any treatment one should avoid practices/substances that stain teeth, i.e. wine, cigarettes, cranberry juice, coffee.......

Answer 6

Without going into a major production try Pearl Drops toothpaste. Most any major store will carry. Comes in small bottle with cap. Not always in tube.

Answer 7

the distinction between the the dentist's whitening and the keep offered stuff is the most objective of the energetic element. the keep whiteners artwork properly if the staining isn't too extreme, yet you would possibly want to beware of a few sensitivity that would want to take position afterwards.
