Okay,


So I want to get my teeth whitened a little bit but I'm not sure where to go or even how much teeth whitening will cost. I don't need it badly but if I have the money on me, I don't mind spending a few bucks to get my teeth whitened. Its a bit too yellow for me but if I can spend about 100-150 to get them whitened than I should be able to do it.

Anyone know of any places? Anyone can help me out?

Thanks a ton.

i know the whitening isnt covered by insurance cause its cosmetic...my father looked into it this was some years ago however and they were charging him 600....why dont u try the whitening strips? also theres a gel that the dentist can provide. you squirt the gel into trays that are molded to fit your teeth and i think u sleep with them on at night. those are cheaper.

Like Seventh Floor said try Crest whitening strips. Much cheaper, if you have sensitive teeth there are different kinds of whitening strips. It only covers the front upper and lower teeth but that is good enough. I have 4 teeth that the enamel is wearing off on but that is due to me not having been to a dentist in over 10 years.

Default $1 Zoom

I got my whitening done for $1 at Smile Arts of NY smileartsny.com in midtown. Dental insurance from my job covered the check-up cleaning portion and as part of their promo the Zoom whitening was just a buck. I think they're still running that promo.

Use the strips.

Any dentist will pick your pocket for the simple procedure.

Crest white strips Professional.
What I tried it worked.

I never tried their advanced formula, but the Professional one is good.
Haven't done second well dont need to my teeth pearly white.
In addition tho you need to maintain your teeth and proper whitiness after the crest strips do their magic
That means like with skin care you need a proper dental routine.

It could be brush teeth twice a day preferably after you eat, avoid teeth strainers anything that can stain a white shirt, and every 2 weeks brush your teeth with either baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. The ol it will ruin your enamel is garbage. Immigrants have been using this method for years and they are still pearly white. The key is not to do it excessively like with all things moderation. Could also buy Listerine 6 Plus whitening mouthwash (super duper strong). If You expect your teeth to look like celebs you need veneers. Teeth can not naturally be that white and if that is your goal then cough up dem dollas. Otherwise perfectly natural white teeth look good to me oO.

Oh and cuz I skimmed don't know habits avoid like the plague:

Coffee
Tomatoes sauce
Tea
Cranberry juice or any fruit juice

If you cant drink lots of water
