and is it covered by insurance?

How much do teeth bleaching procedures at the dentist office generally cost?
mine cost $300 but that was about 6 years ago - that included the mold, custom-made trays, and bleaching gel. it might be more affordable now. but try the crest strips first... they might do the trick. and no, definitely not covered by insurance.
Reply:.Don%26#039;t know but i would like to know that answer too.
Reply:Too much. Use Crest WhiteStrips Renewal Brand. They take off ten years of stains and my teeth will look perfect for my wedding on a few weeks.
Reply:100.00
Reply:way too much and NO...buy a kit at the drugstore...

Anybody tried any teeth bleaching products?

Which brand and what did you think? I bought a cheaper brand that helped a little, but I don%26#039;t look like the girl on the box. I am outraged.

The strips remove layers of enamel on your teeth, so they might feel more sensetive as a result. I tried the colgate gel but that doesn%26#039;t even work in practice. It rubs off on your lips and gums and makes them feel weird. The listerine rinse leaves a weird feeling in the back of your throat and taste horrible. Really the only thing that will work is getting laser treatment at the dentist. It%26#039;s expensive but gives you the result you want and probably won%26#039;t leave your mouth feeling or tasting weird.
Reply:crest whitestrips....it was gross and made my teeth very sensitive to hot and cold...but it whitened my teeth nonetheless.
Reply:Whenevr i need a nice bright smile, i use rembrandt two hour white. It does make my teeth extremely, ridiculously white, but it also irritates my gums a little. It was only 20.00 so I do get my moneys worth out of it.
Reply:Use crest whitestrips along with Vivid White toothpaste, the results are almost unbelievably white together.
Reply:try listerine white mouth wash. it works great!!!
Reply:It%26#039;s sooo funny. I was just thinking about this this morning and if someone were to ask it on Answers!





Anyway, I%26#039;ve heard alot about Crest Whitestrips, either because it really works or because the Crest people have been pimping it really hard on us.





I use toothpastes, like Crest Luminous, it strengthened enamel and whitens or Colgate Total with Whitening, it leaves a glossy feeling on your teeth for hours.

I would make an appointment to your local dentist and have something like that professionally done.

Instant teeth bleaching? i want to instantly whiten and brighten my teeth..how can i do that?
Hello. My teenage daughter proved this works. Make a paste of baking soda and peroxide, brush on front teeth and try not to brush it on your gums. Do not swallow and make sure you rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. She only waited a minute if that,and had instant results.
Reply:You can use teeth whitening product.

Is teeth-bleaching recommended during pregnancy?

Your dentist should be able to tell you better, but it should be ok. Most whitening strips are just a form of hydrogen peroxide that lifts and bleaches the stains off your teeth. When hydrogen peroxide breaks down, it just becomes water and oxygen. All the same, I%26#039;d check with your dentist to be sure.

My dentist said absolutely not recommended and he wouldn%26#039;t do it. Why take the chance?
Reply:I read in several pregnancy books that it was not a good idea.

How can I drink coffee & soda right after bleaching my teeth without staining?

I know its a silly question but the reason my fangs are so yellow in the first place is because I LOVE coffee and my diet-coke. I drink about a pot and a half of coffee a day. (over 8 to 12 hour period at work) No way can I cut out coffee for 24-48 hours after bleaching as recommended. I%26#039;ve heard the reason for no dark foods is because the teeth are porous after bleaching. Is there any way I can fill in the pores with something? A good coating of sealant maybe? lol. Seriously? I like to taste the coffee on my palette. Straws kill the sensation. I guess I%26#039;m a coffee-snob. Please help.

How can I drink coffee %26amp; soda right after bleaching my teeth without staining?
You can%26#039;t, or you%26#039;ll be throwing away the money you spent to have your teeth whitened. Teeth are dehydrated after whitening, not more porous. When saliva touches them and when you drink or eat something, the teeth soak up the moisture over the first 24-48 hours, and the color of whatever those things contain. If you received custom-made whitening trays from your dentist after your whitening, you can put those on to have a SMALL AMOUNT of what you crave. Otherwise, I would try to forget about it, or expect your teeth shade to relapse. I hope this helps.
Reply:Carefully wrap your entire head in waxed paper...or!?????? follow the directions that came with the teeth bleach....geeeezzzzz lmao
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard that lots of celebrities drink soda and coffee only if they have a straw. Maybe you could try that? That way your smile won%26#039;t be damaged and you can keep drinking.
Reply:you can%26#039;t...prolonged drinking of coffe tea soda,etc will always dis-color the teeth


enjoy the white while you can...I am in the same boat,,can not


live without my cofee and diet dr pepper


i don%26#039;t do straws either


best of luck


bren
Reply:Other than avoiding it there really is no way. A straw is the next best thing....other than that??? If you can%26#039;t resist, try drinking water inbetween every drink of coffee or soda.

Teeth bleaching ... Yay or Nay?

Depends on you really. But here are the points to consider:





1) Bleaching makes your teeth very sensitive,occasionally you need to leave off the bleaching for a few days to let the sensitivity wear off.





2) If you have crowns/ bridges or veneers at the front it will not bleach those





3) Tea/ coffee/ red wine and spicy food stains your teeth, so anything you eat or drink will stain them again.





4) If your diet includes lots of the above then the affects of the bleaching could only last 6mths to a year.

Teeth bleaching ... Yay or Nay?
Pros and Cons of Tooth Whitening


Advantages:


People typically have a tooth whitened to improve their appearance. Teeth that are all of the same bright color are associated with beauty and a healthier lifestyle. When people have a brighter smile, they tend to smile more often and are less self-conscious.





In addition, a whiter smile tends to minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles, giving way to a more youthful and energetic appearance.





Finally, a whiter smile gives people to whom you are speaking a place to focus on and gives you a friendlier appearance.





Disadvantages:


Although tooth bleaching is very effective, there can be short term disadvantages, such as sore gums or tooth from the bleach. This disappears when bleach use is discontinued. Some individuals are more chemically sensitive. If you are one of them, inform your cosmetic dentist so that you can be tested for sensitivity to the solution.





Research indicates that tooth bleaching is completely effective in more than 78% of people. In cases of serious tooth discoloration, bleaching may not be the best choice. Veneers or crowns may be the superior choice. Bleaching is usually the first solution to try due to its lower cost.
Reply:Done by a dentist, it works very well


The little DIY kits don%26#039;t work so well..
Reply:Had mine done with laser light as the over night gum things where poo. It worked very well my incisors where starting to lose the fight against red wine and had signs of the bad old days when i smoked. now they match the rest and look clean and new. I still smile at them every day :-)


Did hurt a little though but only for an hour or two.
Reply:If you really want to. The home kits are pretty rubbish though.





My 7 year old niece moaned to the dentist that her teeth weren%26#039;t white. The dentist tried to sell a full bleaching session to her! her mother was NOT impressed!
Reply:Not recommended, really. Any teeth whitening - no matter, which way - weakens your enamel (the very external part of the tooth), flushing the minerals out.
Reply:NAY
