What do you think about teeth whitening?

| I am interested in having my teeth whitened. My dentist told me about two methods-the first method requires me to wear trays an hour a night 3-4 times a week. The other is a one time laser light treatment that last for approximately 6-12 months. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion of which method would be better |

| I've had mine done with trays. It would be nice having it all done at once, but I think it costs more. One thing that is nice about having the trays is that your teeth will not stay quite as white as the initial whitening so they need to be redone (it doesn't take as much time in later applications. Usually a couple treatments will do mine). Also, one dentist gave me the over night solution and one gave me a day solution which was suppose to be better for teeth and you didn't leave on as long. The first one seemed better to me. I think the solution was stronger too. |

| Whiter teeth give you an instant lift. I have noticed a few folks who have taken it a bit too far. Their teeth look like they are lit from within. It's bit odd looking. So it can be too much of a good thing. If you have sensitive teeth, it may make them more so. |

| One friend over did it. She had teeth stained with coffee and smoking. The over the counter kit whitening did not clean where her croocked teeth jammed up against each other, so she cleaned them some more, and it only got worse. Finally, the dentist evened out the white, but they are sooo white that her teeth look plastic. |

| Our dentist doesn't recommend it. He said it's DEFINITELY NOT for people who have sensitive teeth already, which I have. |

| I have used a company called Dramatic Smiles and there gels are very strong. I would recommend this product only if you don't have sensitive teeth. |

I tried the OTC crest whitening kit that you can use at night. I just used the one kit around a year ago and it is about time again. I do have slight sensitivity and this product does not bother me. I am a tea drinker and this removed the slight yellowing from tea- not sure if it will remove coffee/nicotine as well.
I do think some people carry it too far and it does give the teeth an unnatural look. |

| I paid a few hundred to have my teeth whitened at the dentist. They were pretty, but painful. I now use crest white strips. They are not quite as white as they got from the dentist, but close. |

| i used the crest white strips. my teeth got really sensitive after about half the box so i stopped using them. they stayed white for a long time though. Don't know really how great they are for your teeth. |

| I use the whitening mouth wash regularly (Listerine). I do see the difference after a year or so. More subtle than professionally done but enough for me at this point. |

I'm getting married in a month, so I decided to try something so that my pictures don't make me want to cry. I've been using the e-Bright system. It works really well, and it isn't too expensive. Here's the link: Teeth Whitening

| the enamel on my teeth is so thin I'm afraid that they would crack. I had them done years ago and they looked great; however, my molars (with big fillings) started breaking and I ended up getting crowns on all of them. Whichever you choose, be sure to have your dentist keep a good eye on you. |

| You can also put sensodyne in your trays if you have them too! This is a tip I learned working in a dentist office. You can do it before you bleach for a half hour and then right after. It cuts down on those aches. :) |

| I have tried many different teeth whitening methods over the years and have had good luck with some teeth whitening trays. This method allowed me a bright white smile with very little sensitivity. thanks. Jimmy |

| Thanks for the tip on using Sensodyne summibee. I already use that and didn't think of using it as a precursor to whitening treatment. I've heard of people getting third degree gum burns from being overzealous about using at home treatments. Thanks George |

| A friend gave me a great tip for at home teeth whitening, combine the first 2 products listed here Teeth Whitening (Shimmering White and Dazzle Smile), you can get them for free (just pay shipping and handling). They worked like a charm! My teeth are at least 3 shades whiter. The Shimmering White product is even offering $250 if you send them a testimonial! I sent mine in, I should have the check within 2 weeks :) |

Gosh, to me it's a given to have nice, white teeth.It's become sooo easy! The dentist's trays were the only real expense, but I still have them after 5 or more years( maybe $200 to make). I get the pro gel from dentist and ...here's the best part....it takes only 30 minutes. I pop them in probably 5-6 times a year. It probably costs ( for the gel) about $50 a year to have great white teeth.
Many of the laser jobs I've seen are a fake blue white. |

| Only thing I would like to add is if you have very sensitive gums or teeth, then be more cautious when choosing and using a whitening products or treatments. This is because tissues in the mouth can become irritated by the whitening and abrasive ingredients, and this can be extremely painful. I have sensitive gums and teeth so I prefer using the natural teeth whitening products made from natural ingredients. |

| I've worked in a dental office and I've seen that most people can whiten very effectively with custom whitening trays and strong dental gel. The custom Teeth whitening trays are key because they actually prevent the gel from getting on your gums (if they are trimmed properly). Also they whiten the tops of your teeth and in between your teeth - which is very hard to do with over the counter products. |
