In your opinion what over the counter teeth whitener works the best?
Answer:
gooood ole baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. This is use in my daily routine.
Seriously look @ the ingredients in those whitening products.
I use Crest Vivid White toothpaste. And i smoke so of course my teeth are a bit yellow, and i have been using it for 2 weeks now, and my teeth are the whitest they have ever been!! Give it a try!
not smoking.
and brushing.
In my practice I've seen the best results from the Crest Whitestrips product. You can also get this at a stronger concentration from some dental offices. It will cost a little more than say Wal-Mart but is a far superior product. Whitener toothpastes will NOT whiten you teeth. They will however, do a good job of removing stains.

What's the best teeth whitener on the market. The dentist can not whiten my teeth.?
I have a capped tooth in the front so that one will not whiten. I have 2 teeth that need a little whiten. They are on each side
Answer:
The dentist cannot whiten your capped tooth, but a home whitening kit is probably the best thing you could do here. You would take your dentist-made custom tray and put a drop of whitening gel on either side. Then insert the tray onto your teeth. Repeat this once a day for a couple of weeks, and you should get there. The important thing is to whiten the two adjacent teeth a little bit more white than the crowned tooth, because the bleach will rebound back slightly.If you don't want to do that, or your dentist's kit is beyond your budget, then here's the over the counter solution. But some Colgate Simply White paint on whitener. Get a bunch of cotton balls. Bite together and stuff each cheek until your lips are forced open. Paint the whitener on your two problem teeth, lie down, and leave on there for 30-60 minutes.Personally, I prefer the first method, but I leave the choice up to you. Finally, the best toothpaste to maintain your newfound whiteness is Ultrabite Advanced Whitening. Should run you about a dollar a tube. Remember, whitening toothpastes don't really help you attain whiteness, but they are pretty good at helping you maintain it by preventing stain buildup.Good luck.
Colgate Total Is The Best On The Market :P:PWhiteeee :D
In fact no one and nothing can! The colour of one's teeth depends on chemical composition of one's body and its inherent colour cannot be altered. Brushing is only to maintain its quality and prevent decay. The market is flooded with all types of toothpaste but even without any one should be able to maintain one's teeth in good condition - by using a pinch of salt whenever one brushes one's teeth!
Any type of dental restoration will not bleach. Only natural health tooth enamel will work with bleaching agents. My recommendation is bleach all your teeth to the shade you like then have any restorations redone to the matching shade.

Whats the best product or anything to whiten your teeth?
and whats the cost of it?how many shades whiter did your teeth get after doing it?
Answer:
My personal preference is Nite White Excel. Unfortunately it is not cheap for the initial delivery. When you go to the dentist they will make custom trays for your teeth specifically. Then you go back and they give you the trays with a starter kit. The price can range from $200-600, depending where you go/live. Once the starter kit is used up, you can purchase touch-up kits for a lot less.
It has been my professional opinion that the "in office" treatments are not all that great in comparison to the take home methods. Even if you do the "in office" method, they still send you home with trays, and it usually costs a lot more.
My teeth only got about 2 shades whiter, but they really were not that discolored to begin with. Since you have a yellow base color, I would say that you are an ideal candidate for take home whitening (under the assumption that you have no cavities and are in good oral health).
If that is out of your price range, I have some patients who are very pleased with results from Crest Whitening Strips. One important thing to remember when whitening: the only color that will change is that of your natural enamel (outer portion of tooth). Meaning that any fillings or crowns will not change their color, even if the filling is tooth colored.
I hope this helped you.
Best product - toothbrush
Cost - 29p (tescos)
Advice - use twice daily for 3 mins

Whats the best homemade recipe to whiten teeth?
Answer:
i have always used baking soda to brush with on occasion (not more than a few times a month it can take off enamel), and rinse with peroxide. however, i have been using the new toothpaste by crest called pro health (cinnamon flavor) and have had more compliments on my teeth since. my dentist also said that my teeth looked great this time around. i drink coffee every morn, soda and tea throughout the day and i smoke.this really works!! my teeth are white!
baking soda or peroxide
make a paste of baking soda and water, and brush your teeth with it. warning: it will taste gross.
Brush and Floss.
Whats the best filling for my teeth?
I need the dentist to replace a 15 year old amalgam type filling in my mouth and need to decide on a new type. The dentist recommends an expensive porcelain type. Are they better in the long run or do they need replacing often too?
Answer:
Yes get the white ones that dontmleak toxic chem's. in your body like the silver ones do.
gold
I'd get wood fillings but watch out for splinters in your tongue.
Definitely alloy.
Gold alloy will last best over the long haul. Especially if it is a molar filling this has more strength and stabillity.If however your replaced tooth is in front where it could be seen, it may be more important to you that the tooth seems to blend in with your other teeth - which gold definitely will not.
Composite.

What's the best country to go to for dental treatment as its so dear in the UK/?
somewhere with reasonable costs and high standard of treatment
Answer:
best advice i can give is to go to a dentist in the UK - the problems and pitfalls people suffer abroad have to be seen to be believed. Going to the Europa-Dental Clinic in Budapest was a very painful and expensive experience. My gaurentee was useless and i have more problems than i started with. I went to Kreative originally and that was fine, though i know other people have had problems. My local dentist told me he could have done the work for the same price or cheaper - and i wouldn't have had all the trouble i have had in getting post-surgical problems sorted out. Good lesson learnt though, i will NEVER go abroad for any health care again!!
Well, the USA has great dental care, but by the time you pay for your plane ticket you might as well have it done in the UK.
Romania.
If you go to another country to fix your smile, you'll spend a lot more money traveling back and forth. I'd say: don't go anywhere. Go to the dentist wherever you are right now.
Scotland is not part OF the UK dental treatment, so try there!
Thing is the best treatment available is only available in countries that are a whole lot more expensive then the UK. Trust me on that one.
Iraq , they pull your teeth for nothing.
definately india a cud take u dere or jst give directions, its always cheper to clean ur teeth xx
Poland my friend, seriously
think about the travel costs. if you are going only for dental treatment, i wouldn't advise you to go. but however, there is another great idea. try putting your dental treatment as part of your holiday trip to any country like USA, etc.. that would be sensible. plan a holiday, and have a good dental checkup in between. if this advice doesn't sound pretty good, i would say stay here. though you spend a bit more, you could get everything done here (probably in your next street)
For people looking for cheap dental care they tend to go to the Eastern European counties (e.g. Poland, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, etc). They are pretty cheap, and air fairs to these countries are cheap too. But like others have said, you need to weigh up how much work you need doing, whether the work needs several trips, whether you can afford to take time of work to stay out there to save on air fairs. There is no point going abroad if you only want a couple of veeners say, because what you save at the dentist you will spend on travel and hotel costs. If however, you need lots of work and you can afford to take a lot of time of work, it may be worthwile going abroad. But bear in mind you need to do a lot research before going ahead. Also you need to bear in mind what if something goes wrong? It could prove difficult to complain or to get the work rectified.

Whats the best alternative to tooth loss...?
I have a friend that had beautiful teeth at one time, and down the years, she didn't have the funds to keep up with dental care and now she's lost a good bit of her teeth. Thank God they're all in the back, but now she has 2 teeth that have cavities and are going to have to come out eventually. One is next to the front tooth, and the other is the front tooth. When she speaks, now she has a permanent lisp because this hole is getting bigger and bigger. She is not even 40 yet, and she's dreading them coming out, and she may have to get dentures. Does anyone have any other alternatives to dentures, thats not expensive or is she going to have to opt for dentures...and how do I tell her. No one will know the difference, but she's very attractive and she's afraid of losing her teeth in any event.
Answer:
Depending on her situation, a bridge may be a good option for replacing her front teeth. In order to do a bridge, the teeth on either side of the space would need to be structurally sound enough to support the bridge. To replace the missing back teeth, a removable partial denture would be the most affordable route. It is very important to replace those back teeth, because they are meant to take the brunt of chewing food, and when they're gone, we have to chew with our front teeth, which are really meant more for cutting and tearing the food. This means that the front teeth wear down much faster. There are ways of making partial dentures now that are very natural looking, without all the gaudy wire clasps showing like in years past. I wish your friend the best of luck and hope that she gets the best care possible so that she can stay healthy and beautiful.
if her teeth can still be filled (i.e. they're not so rotten that they're falling apart) then root canal work may save the nerve and hence the tooth. if not, then denture or bridgework may be the only way. once a tooth is too badly damaged by decay it has to come out.
The best cheap alternative to dentures you are going to get is fixing the teeth now and hoping to save them before it gets farther. All options of replacing teeth are very expensive be it bridges, implants, partials, or dentures.
