Teeth Whitening????

I thought this would be a great place to ask for some advise about teeth whitening. I really want to get mine done. They are not terribly bad, but are starting to show signs of some yellowing. I am sure it from all of the years of coffee and tea.
Anyway, I was going to get the ZOOM done at my dentist office, but after doing some research I have found that a whole lot of people have had really bad experiences with it. I have tried the strips and they just do not work.
Has anyone had success with whitening? Either Zoom, the trays, brush ons?
Thanks!!

I've had ZOOM as well as the trays. Now, someone gave me a GREAT tip. Those CREST White Strips really are amazing! I was going to get some more gel for my trays for touch-up and a friend asked if I tried the CREST Strips. I notice a major difference the first and second time. I just use them from time to time as I'm a java drinker. With the trays my gums/teeth would become VERY sensitive and then would need to use a flouride rinse. You can find a dicount coupon on their website.

Hey sweetie,

I have always used the crest white strips.  I have tried the other ones, but I never got the results that I got from the Crest strips.  If you want some professional advise, I have two relatives that are dental hygenists that I will ask for you.  Anyway I am overdo in using the strips that is why I am not sparkling white, but I do find that they work, also I found a toothpaste by arm and hammer, I will get the name of it that REALLY works well for in between times.

Love U my BFF,  D

I have heard a lot of people develop sensitive teeth after the strips and all the whitening. I would do extra amounts of research Lisa!

 

Happy NEw Years!  

I finually got my teeth whitened after much work done on them.  Whitening was the final wish of mine for my teeth that is, and I am very happy and proud of the results.  My dentist took impressions and ordered me the upper and lower mouth pieces along with the correct percentage of whitener.  At night I squirt the whitener onto my mouth pieces let them stay there for a couple hours and then take off.  I love the results!
They tell you to do it so many days in a row but I look at my teeth and if needed the next day I'll do it but if not  I don't.
Whenever my teeth start looking dingy I'll do it again.
It was a cheap price to pay to beable to smile again.
Good Luck to you,
