Proper dental care to whiten your teeth without going to the dentist.  I can not afford to have my teeth whiten by a dentist.  However, I would still like to have whiter teeth.   I would like to know if baking soda really works to whiten your teeth?  If so how often can you use it.   Will using baking soda give you bad breath.  I think I read something that said it would.   Please advise

Pennsylvania Dental, How can you whiten your teeth at home? I have dental insurance benefits from my job but it does not offer benefits for teeth whitening treatments.  I have really stained up teeth and I really want to have better looking teeth.  Is there any low cost way to whiten your teeth at home?

I live in New York and I have this friend that is not quite so smart as he thinks he is.  He though that if he got whitening strips that whiten your teeth in seven days that if double the amount of time he was to keep them on he would whiten his teeth even faster.  Now his teeth really hurt and he says it hurts to any thing hot and cold.  He worried now he made have messed up his teeth. Will his teeth go back to normal over time or should he see a dentist about what he did?

My teeth have stains on them and I really want them to be whiten and have the stains removed.   I am a non smoker but I do drink coffee and tea so I am not sure if that is why my teeth are not so white as they should be.  I use toothpaste with whitening but it does not seem to really work for me.

I have dental insurance but it does not pay out for teeth whitening.  I have sorta white teeth but I want my teeth really white.  I  would like it done fast so that I can see the difference right away.  I was looking at your dental discount plans and they say they will give you discounted saving of dental services.  Does that including whitening treatments?

I would also like to know how long should I wait before putting on the whitening strip after brushing my teeth?  Can you offer  any helpful advise on keeping my teeth white so that I do not have to use whitening strips to offten.

I had slightly yellowish teeth. So I went out and got crest whiten strips to help make them whiter.  However now my teeth are really sensitive after only two treatments.  Is that normal?  Or should I stop using them?  I have to do it for a week so the box says but I did not think it would make my teeth so sensitive.

So my teeth are yellowish.  I am not sure why they are not white I brush two times a day and I do not drink a lot of soda or any coffee.  I really upset me that my teeth are not white like I think they should be.  I do not have the money to get they whiten at the dentist.

As far as over the counter whiting strips what would you say is the best one.  I am looking to whitening my teeth and though I would use the whiten strips that they have at Rite Aide.  What would be the best ones to get. I want something that really works with minimal work for me.

I have dental insurance however my dental insurance will not cover teeth whiten treatment.  I have coffee stains over the years  and my teeth are not as white as I may like.  I was wondering if a dental discount plan will help me for my teeth whiten treatments?  I want to have my teeth whiten by dentist since the strips you can buy over the counter never really worked for me.   However I need to have some help with the cost of whitening treatment.  Will a discount plan work for me?

A few years ago I had some problems with my front top two teeth.  The dentist did a dental bonding inorder to fix them.  He fixed the teeth but the color of the bonding was off an now those teeth are darker then my other teeth. It really looks bad to me.   Can I whiten them up with whiten strips or something?

My questions is this: I know most dental insurance do not cover for teeth whitening.  However what I would like to know is if you only want teeth whiten dose the dentist still have to take X-rays and do cleaning first?  I do not want to have to pay for those things too on top of having to pay for the whitening.  Can a dentist only do the teeth whiting treatment without anything eles be done?

Right now I am so upset I can spit.  My husband went to the dentist for his six months appointment today.  When he was at the dentist the dentist assistant started telling my husband that he really should whiten his teeth.  His teeth are strong and he has no cavities but they are really stained up.  So she started talking it up saying how much better his teeth would look and how much better he would look and so on.  Now my husband wants to whiten his teeth.

My good friend had braces for over three years and she getting them off in a week. Right now the part of the teeth you can see are pretty yellow. She brushes but I guess with the braces she could not use anything to whiten her teeth. Now that she is getting her braces off she is worried about her teeth looking all funny and messed up with yellow stains. Can her dentist whiten her teeth once he take off her braces?
