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.

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?

I had my teeth whiten at the dentist a little over a year ago.  I am a light smoker but have been tyring to quit and only smoke once or twice a week which compared to what I use to do almost a pack every two to three days I have made really good progress.

My question is that although my teeth are still white they are not as white as they use to be when I first had the whitening treatment done.  Should I go back to the dentist to have them re whiten or wait until I am able to fully quit smoking altogether.   Which I am weening off and hope to be done with smoking in another few months.  What would be best?

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.

It is not that I do not want my husband to have nice teeth but here are the facts.

Fact 1:  My husband is a chain smoker.  His teeth are stained because he is a smoker.   Even though I tried to get him to stop many times over he will not.

Fact 2: Our dental insurance does not cover for whitening  treatment.  So it would cost us out of pocket $189.00

Fact3: I have no problem him getting is teeth whiten if he were to stop smoking so that they just don’t get re-stained.  Other wise I feel we are thowing our money out the door.

Because of this dental assistant shooting off her mouth my husband wants to go head with the whiting treatment regardless of the fact that we do not have alot of extra money let alone money to waste.  His normal dentist would never had done this.  I want to know why a dental assistant would talk about teeth whitening program to a know heavy smoker.  (There is no way she could not know that he smokes)

I am really upset because I feel she was out of line and trying to make a buck regardless of the fact that until my husband stops smoking whiten his teeth is pointless.   I will do what my husband wants even if he wants to toss money away.  I do not like what this dental assistant did and was wondering if there was any point in lodging a complaint.

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?
