Teeth whitening?

TAftonomos · February 22, 2009, 04:15:46 PM

Anyone here had it done? I was considering it as I'm a habitual coffee drinker, and my teeth arn't white lol.

Scanning around online, I found there are TONS of whitening kits sold on ebay and the like. Dentist wants $400 for 2 treatments, no guarantee at all.

Anyone had this done? What did you use, results, info, etc..

Thanks!

Crest Whitestrips have won several "bang for the buck" comparisons...

I used an Opalescence kit with pretty good results.

It was kind of a pain in the ass, though. You had to be very careful just how much gel you use because it'll burn the shit out of your gums.

Youd have to stop drinking coffee too. The coffee is whats staining your teeth. what would you rather have? white teeth or a tummy full of caffeine?

Tummy full of coffee and white teeth. You CAN have both. You just have to want it bad enough

The s/o uses those. I tried them a couple times. They work. My teeth got real sensitive though.

Most teeth whitening methods will cause some kind of sensitivity, moreso with some people...

Yeah. It says that on the box. It only lasted a day or two. My teeth were noticeably whiter after only 3 strips.

just use a straw so the coffee misses the teeth.

I hope you're joking. We have a guy in my class who does that and he gets all kinds of shit for it....

Don't worry about whitening, when you get alittle older hanging on to then is your biggest concern

White out works good.

I did the denist thing a few years back and it worked great.
