Teeth whitening?

[Spunkysmom2012]

Anyone had a good experience with over the counter teeth whitening?? And what kind??

My daughter was doing this all the time and our dentist told her that once you get to a certain color - you cannot get any whiter and in fact, your teeth will start to turn BLUE. She stopped doing it right away. ha ha ha

You know what I have found that works... Peroxide. After I brush my teeth I use a cotton swab to put some on my teeth and try and let it set there as long as possible while doing my makeup. Works great and is cheap and easy.

Wow really?!? Is that safe for your teeth?.....I suppose it's as safe as any of the other products

Well I dont know but have read that it is the main ingredient in the dentists whitening. I will let you know when my teeth fall out.

Hahaha let's hope that doesn't happen!

Your right though it is the main ingredient so that makes sense!

I actually keep my toothbrush soaking in a small cup of peroxide between brushings. I brush with the peroxide first then rinse and floss then I brush with toothpaste. I have very white teeth by heredity, but they had yellowed some with aging, this routine helped bring the white back. Just don't swallow it.

I actually got the hint to do this from my mom years ago. She got it from a dentist. I also had an oral surgeon tell me to rinse with peroxide after the surgery he did on one of my back molars a few years ago.
