Answer by Ray <3
I got quoted around 200 dollars but there are different procedures depending on the type of staining, the type of treatment they use, where you live, etc.
Insurance will NOT cover it because it is a cosmetic procedure.
Safe… ehhh some say it is, some say it isn’t, generally yes if you get it done at the dentist, but it can weaken your enamel.
Mix baking soda with peroxide.. You can get a small box of baking soda for under a dollar and a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide for the same. Mix it into a paste (or just dip your brush in the peroxide and then in the baking soda ) and brush with it. DONT swallow it, then brush your teeth normally. It won’t make your teeth sensitive like some other whiteners, and it’s cheap, but don’t do it more than once or twice a week (don’t do it every day) as it really just removes stains and once they’re gone, they’re gone, you can’t really get much whiter.

Remember teeth aren’t naturally white, they’re off white, so you can’t really get them WHITE without damaging them. People you see with super white teeth… They’re teeth are actually very unhealthy. Good luck!

Question by : Is laser teeth whitening really the only way to whiten teeth?
I really want to get laser teeth whitening for graduation, but i have been using crest whitestrips and i haven’t noticed much of a difference- whether it be because they arent working or I just can’t tell because i use it on all of my teeth. If it really is the best, then does it hurt?

Xylitol Sugar Products from Xlear Delivers Method to Whiten Teeth

Spry White

Orem, UT (PRWEB) January 11, 2012

Xlear, Inc. today introduced a new teeth-whitening kit designed using xylitol sugar – a natural sweetener with proven oral care benefits. This kit, named Spry White, uses Perogel and patented VIOCIN Whitening Technology as part of a two-stage process to make teeth whiter in just about one hour. Spry White contains the natural sweetener xylitol and whitens teeth effectively by using a formula containing a safer concentration of whitening agents. In particular, the Perogel and VIOCIN in this new whitening kit contain good amounts of xylitol sugar which help to increase calcium absorption and decrease tooth sensitivity.

“We realize there are several whitening options available on the market, but Spry White is the only natural teeth whitening formula available today,” said Blaine Yates, president of Xlear, Inc. “We have combined natural xylitol sugar and dental technologies to provide people with a healthier whitening formula that delivers brighter smiles and greater oral health.”

The Spry White kit uses a two-step process that first involves Perogel to remove particles imbedded in teeth enamel that cause discoloration. Then the second step, VIOCIN is used to enhance whitening while infusing calcium into the enamel to reduce sensitivity and strengthen teeth. VIOCIN uses light spectrum technology with violet gel to reinforce the whitening effects of Perogel. This two-step process containing xylitol sugar also decreases the likelihood that users will need any bleach for additional whitening.

The Spry Dental Defense System is a family of products that includes xylitol toothpaste, rinse, tooth gel, sponge floss, oral mist and a variety of xylitol chewing gums and mints. Each xylitol product is formulated to deliver a healthy dose of xylitol sugar. Adults who use xylitol have been shown to benefit from a greater oral health.

Spry White can be purchased online at Xlear.com or at one of thousands or health food retailers nationwide for only $ 39.95. To find a Xlear dealer near you, use the online store locator now.

Question by Spongebob Squarepants: Does Colgate Advanced Whitening really whiten your teeth?
I just bought the Colgate Total Advanced Whitening toothpaste for the first time. I have been using Crest for as long as I can remember, and my teeth are not getting any whiter. For those of you who use this product, does it actually turn up those results? Thanks in advance!
