Teeth Whitening products

[mad4comp]

Hey guys im in need of a little help. I was wondering, have any of you gotten your teeth whitened? If so what did you use and how long did it take?

My teeth are not yellow but not as white as id like them to be, and i dont feel like spending a fortune at the dentists office. Anyone here have any good/bad experiences they've had with various products they'd like to share?

Thanks

It depends on why they're not white. My teeth are discolored because of medicine I took when I was really young. No amount of instant whitening is ever going to get rid of that. However, if you're just a big coffee drinker or something like that, then the strips or whatever can do you some good.

my teeth are jacked up, my dad and my uncles all have dental problems as well, but i like the listerine w/ whitening

Unless you mind a little MOUTH CANCER. :yikes:







Aug. 7, 2004 -- Do tooth-whitening products lead to oral cancer? New research suggests that it's certainly possible and a question that's worth further investigation.


...In animal studies, peroxide has been shown to promote the growth of cancerous tumors inside the cheeks of rodents and cause gastrointestinal cancers when ingested. No tests have been done on humans.

Thanks for the suggestions

I think im gonna stick with Whitening toothpaste, all this cancer stuff is scary to think about. Anyone got any good suggestions, I tried that Crest whitening stuff, and i see no difference after like 2 months.

Rembrandt works very well for me. Take a couple of weeks for best results.

You could always go the pro route and get your chompers whitened with peroxide and a special light.
