Pre wedding tooth whitening

Meghan , on February 28, 2017 at 4:47 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 20

Both FH and I have a lovely shade that I like to call butter, to our teeth. Thing is it doesn't show up well in photos. FH is always talking about getting our teeth whitened, but I don't want to do any damage, especialy since we still have 7 months until the wedding. What kind of tooth pastes or home remedies do you guys use? I've used whitening tooth paste and they're still not brilliantly white, certainly not good enough for pro pictures

    Crest white strips have always worked well for me! I use the most expensive ones (there are different types) and it was still cheaper than the option provided by the dentist... just took a longer amount of time.

    I just started using activated charcoal powder! It's really whitened up my smile in only a couple weeks of using daily, and doesn't cause any sensitivity.

    My dentist told me to use Crest white strips. She said if I do then and still not happy then pay the outrageous fee they charges. I used the 3D White and have had nice results.

    Another fan of crest white strips over here . Used them before engagement photos and was very happy with the results. @Felicia I think I'll take your advice to start again in march!

    I did Zoom in my dentist's office two weeks before the wedding. Worked great! I had some tooth sensitivity but didn't last long.

    So Crest 3D White just came out with a 2 step toothpaste (it's two tubes) that's $15. I bought it and have been using it twice a day, as directed, for about two weeks.

    I'm not loving the progress/results though, so I might use the white strips instead when I get closer to the wedding.

    I'm a dental assistant and the doctor that I work for always recommends patients to start with crest strips. It's so much cheaper than in office whitening and they really do work. If you have sensitive teeth start using sensodyne for a little while and then proceed with the crest strips. Also if you've ever had braces and you have the clear retainers you can use those as bleaching trays. You'd just go to your dentist and pick up a tube of bleach.

    I just started using charcoal toothpaste too @AnneH.

    It was weird at first, but after one brushing my teeth were less yellow. You definitely see how messy brushing your teeth can be though lol

    My teeth are crazy sensitive. Crest 3D strips work for me but I find my teeth can hurt afterward. The best thing that has worked for me is brushing with baking soda! I keep a little glass jar of it in my bathroom. Just wet your toothbrush, dip the brush into the jar and scrub. Once you get past the taste, it's fine. I use mouthwash after to get rid of the taste. I do this only at night and use sensodyne in the AM. When I'm not lazy and I do it religiously, my teeth are super white!

    When I first read the title, I thought it was saying whitening one tooth lol

    But Crest white strips work great for me! I get them at Costco and use them about every 6 months or so. I drink a ton of coffee so I need to say up on my whitening.

    I haven't done anything about my teeth yet, but my dentist and I talked about doing a whitening treatment. She did recommend Crest White Strips as an alternative, and I think I will try this out first, as a number of people have recommended it as being effective.

    Charcoal toothpaste and oil pulling work wonders, they also provide detox benefits!
