Bump for interest.

Is pronamel the best toothpaste? You can always whiten your teeth, but once the enamel is gone it's gone.

I tried some OTC teeth whitening system (some off brand shit tier) and it hurt pretty badly. Scared to try OTC again. Will just go pro at dentist.

crest white strips
>>
>>36104766
They use a teeth whitening kit. One's teeth are not supposed to look that white. Shit is unnatural. It's pretty much the teeth equivalent of roids.
>>
>>36104806
These don't seem to work
>>
>>36104807
Are they actually safe to use?

I've heard a lot of stories about them being terrible for your teeth in the long run and that everyone that does it now is actually destroying their teeth.

What's the truth? Is it overblown hysteria like the side effects of roids? or is it legit
>>
>>36104838
When I wear the crest white strips for too long my teeth really hurt
>>
>>36104838
I have never used it myself, but it differs on your teeth. Dosage and whatnot. Some folks feel pain because they up the dosage, and others feel pain because they usenit more then once a month. The whole thing is unnatural imo, and that kinda thing does seem to fuck up the enamel in the long run (or whatever you call it). Dentists never really recommend it though, which probably said's something.
>>
whitening kits are the roids for teeth. you need them to truly unlock your potential. they make your teeth very sensitive though.

but right now you can go mix peroxide and baking soda into a paste and scrub it in for a few minutes. it works.
>>
>>36104852
only put it on as long as it says on the box
>>
Go to a dentist

Or use hydrogen peroxide

Get hydrogen peroxide, swab it out with qtip, dab it on teeth, let it foam, rinse do it once a week not too much
>>
>>36104766

Whiter teeth are usually signs of weak teeth.

The only upside is that I'm doing a nursing degree, and in one year (assuming I actually get a job), I'll actually have the money to get them fixed, but in the meantime I have to hope I don't get a bacterial infection in my broken tooth that will kill me.

Dentalfag here

Brushing your teeth with "whitening" toothpaste won't do shit (it's a marketing gimmick), it's all about the percentage of hydroxide staying on your enamel surface.

For actual results i recommend going to your dentist for tooth whitening. We use ~70% peroxide concentration gel which will burn your gums if used at home, we also apply a light or laser to increase the effect of the gel. This usually guarantees an average of 2 shade lightening (see pic). Results may vary among patients (some may get only 1 shade, others up to 4, but this happens rarely).

If you're a poorfag you can get home tooth whitening kits, these do offer some result, but not as good as the professional gel application.

stop drinking faggy tea

I use colgates optic white pre-brush mouthwash
Their optic white toothpaste
And the 360 degree toothbrush and it has gotten my teeth whiter than they where before. Not super duper celebrity white but pretty white.

Also I've heard baking soda does wonders and it's kind of funny the toothpaste I use tastes like baking soda so there you go.

Source: I've brushed with baking soda before

This too OP

Just brush with some of the natural stuff that you could use to get a few shades lighter. Super white teeth are just gonna make your teeth miserable down the line
>>
>>36104766
because your teeth arent naturally white. go to a dentist and get them whitened
>>
>>36105105

I can not say, but it will be expensive. If you have any stains on your teeth, professional oral hygiene will be priority (some stains will be removed using an Air-Flow system, special powder is used to "scrape off" the stains). After that whitening can begin. For the BEST results you will want to use a laser system (ZOOM for example). This will cost somewhere starting from 1000$ (depending on country/clinic/number of teeth/etc).

>>36105113
It can be usually done within 2-3 visits:
1st visit - tooth is prepared and a temporary crown is placed, impressions are taken for the clinic (if the tooth is too rotten and root canal treatment is needed, expect 1-2 more visits)
2nd visit - the metal frame is put on and the dentist checks if it fits alright
3rd visit - the metal frame is now with porcelain and it can be cemented on the tooth

You can get a full ceramic crown, it will take only 1 visit if the dental lab is equipped with a CadCam milling machine and you have the coin:

They whiten.

Go see a dentist. Anyone you see that has super white teeth whitens them. And they have to keep whitening them to maintain it.
>>
>>36104766
if you want to get your teeth as white as they can be,

-get a decent amount of minerals in. calcium, phosporus and magnesium mainly
-get a decent amount of fat soluble vitamins in(D3 K2 A) so your body can actually utilize abovementioned minerals
-try to avoid eating a lot of foods heavy in phytonutrients because those block mineral absorption
-avoid sugar, sodas and other shit. common sense
-wash your mouth after eating

brushing does jack shit

and yes you need whitening if you want them as white as they are in toothpaste ads

Don't listen to people here. You don't need white strips. Floss daily. Brush after every meal. Do not consume dark colored beverages . Drink a lot of water. That is all you need for perfect teeth.
And mouthwash is a good bonus
>>
>>36105128
I'm actually surprised this shit works. Whitening toothpaste used to be like snake oil to me but I actually noticed a difference. More important though is that other people noticed a difference. Of course, even though I was impressed at the difference and my teeth are still whiter than before, I've been using it so long that I'm thinking the same about my new teeth I did about my old teeth. I feel like they need to be whiter.

White strips and whitening processes in general break down your enamel, which weakens your teeth. Obsessing over the whitness of your teeth destroys your teeth. Healthy teeth don't look perfectly white and the idea that teeth should be that white is a very recent (probably American) thing...Just watch movies from the 80s (even the 90s) and pay attention to everybody's teeth. You'll notice that they're not usually perfectly white.
>>
>>36105656

Holy shit...Try being more subtle next time.

Is wanting perfect blindingly white teeth an American phenomenon?

I live in yurop and most people would think that shit looks weird and fake as fuck.

get a custom tray made by one of the sellers on amazon. they send you a mold that you bite into, you mail it back to them, and they send you a tray made from the mold that fits your teeth perfectly. i've had mine for years and i use it on and off, works great and was like $60.

Brush with sensodyne pronamel or similar. Whitening toothpastes don't do shit except burn your guns and the tissue inside your cheeks. Brush with baking soda every now and then. Make sure you floss!. If you use whitening products (strips, or better a tray from the dentist), and have sensitivity issues, you can get gel kam to help a bit. But seriously, whitening toothpastes are not good for your teeth.

I stole some crest whitestrips "professional clean" from walmart and used them, they worked well enough that i was getting a lot of comments from people about how nice my teeth looked, people were even getting self conscious about their own teeth talking to me
Anyways if you do decide to whiten you gotta do it once a year and a good tip to make them stay whiter longer is to drink coffee or chocolate through a straw so it dosent touch your teeth, also if you do eat chocolate or whatever make sure to brush right away
>>
also how do you go about getting those healthy pink gums?
>>
>>36106652
This. I splurged on fancy crest toothpaste once, and it ended up melting the outer layer of skin off my gums. Keep your dental care simple: brush and floss.
>>
>>36106652
Also wanted to warn you, don't brush your teeth immediately after eating something super acidic, as the acid weakens your enamel and you can damage your teeth. Rinse with water, and wait a good 30 minutes before brushing them. And don't EVER buy a firm or medium hardness toothbrush. Soft is the only thing kind that won't ruin your gums .

You cookie cutter porno addict, take the big Lenny route and bleach your teeth, what are you thinking!?

>>36104766

Its called professional whitening, or more likely, a veneer.

An oral surgeon installs thin ceramic/porcelain sheets over your teeth after grinding down the enamel slightly.

Many, many hollywood actors have veneers.

They still require brushing, of course. They will never yellow, and rarely need maintenance.

0 cal soda is almost equally bad for your teeth as normal soda m8
>>
>>36108289
Awful advice, especially if you have any sort of sensitive skin. With people who use whitening toothpastes, you can pull their cheek aside and often see white tissue sloughing off, which is cheek and gum tissue you've chemically burned off of your own mouth.
>>
Teeth aren't really supposed to be white.

If it's really important to you, getting it done by a dentist is the best option. But weakening always comes with whitening, since you have remove a film of enamel.

Had ivory colored teeth, thought they sucked. Turned out they are strong and healthy. Girld i knew with beautiful white teeth they were basically like chalk, would break and got carious.
