Just wondering if the ones they sell at the stores work and if so, which brand(s) worked for you.
I had a really bad coffee stain on my front teeth. Had tried the crest ones for a while but they weren’t helping. My hygienist did some treatment and told me it’ll probably come back because of the texture of my teeth, but told me to use the crest ones a few days ahead of a special event if I wanted a touchup. Stain came back.
Went to the dentist for an unrelated issue and my dentist noticed the stain, literally filed down my tooth in like 2 seconds and for free, and the stain has never come back again, lol.
Crest 3D strips work well, but do not fall asleep with them in… I did that by accident, swallowed one of the strips and woke up in such excruciating pain I had to crawl to the bathroom and puke. Just as heads up
Holy shit.
Yeah. They gave me sensitive teeth. It works by getting rid of the top layer of your teeth. Avoid.
My hygienist told me to just use OTC instead of trying to do it at the dentist’s office. She didn’t suggest a specific brand though.
I got best results having my dentist make me a mold ($70) and using Amazon whitening tubes.
crest whitening strips absolutely work, and you shouldn’t use the whole box at once, wait a few months. that drastic of a change is obvious and can make your teeth super sensitive. but they absolutely worked for me. the difference between each one is how many come in the box and how concentrated they are. the 3D white strips I feel are the best balance and price value.
Never intended but brushing consistently with a Sonicare yielded me pretty freakin’ white teeth. I have been using one since high school and have never had any problems with my teeth. Can’t recommend enough.
Which model do you use, out of interest?
I think it’s the pro-whitening (ironically) one these days, one of the thinner black models. I’ve had to replace the handles occasionaly over the years but much cheaper in the long run than dealing with cavities, etc.
Yes.
Even the generics work.
Just read the labels, see what they use and concentrations, so you can change brands if one makes your teeth hurt (higher peroxide concentrations can do this for people who are sensitive).
It also will burn your gums if you don’t trim the mouthpiece carefully around your gum line. Take your time when molding and trimming.
Oh, that reminds me, is it good for your teeth?? Lol
eh, it’s bad for your teeth if you overuse or use too high a concentration of peroxide, but I think the line between actually getting your teeth white and using too much is pretty thin
Just baking soda works
note: from what I remember reading a while ago, this works because it scrapes your teeth, which slightly files them down. it’s like using using loose sand paper.
In that case probably not for everyday use then , or just use sand. But I’d think that there is also some chemical action that makes it very effective against tea and coffee stains
Counter teeth whitening?
They make em more yellow?
(sorry)
“over the” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 /s
