How do you use the bleach tp whiten your teeth(do you just put it on there or do you gargle with it or what?

Actual chlorine bleach (like what you would use for your clothes) is not used to whiten your teeth. Whitening (often called bleaching) teeth is achieved with a product like crest whitestrips. Other methods for "whitening" can include wearing a custom tray (like a sports mouth guard specially made to fit) in your mouth with a gel in it or a generic tray with gel in it. A commonly used whitening gel is carbamide peroxide and has been used for many years now in the dental field. Hope that helps!

Reply:you just brush your teeth regularly with the bleach tp...and your teeth get whiter in time, another great method is crest whitestrips i see patients that come in my office that use it and i notice a difference of whiter teeth when they use it:)
Reply:You may be thinking of the newer rinses that you swish and expectorate. They are suppose to brighten with out the use of solutions or gels, I'm not that familiar with them to be honest, and have not heard any good (nor any bad) responses about them.





Now the bleaching gel is different from the "rinse." The bleaching gel gets placed in a custom tray that has been fabricated from impressions taken of your teeth. The tray holds the solution against the facial or front portion of the teeth for the amount of time recommended for the whitening process to be achieved, which is usually 30 minutes to an hour. After that time the solution has lost it's effectiveness and can be removed, rinsed, and placed on your models or in a box for use again.





Hope I've been of some help and good luck with your bleaching, you will love your whiter brighter smile!
Reply:Don't throw away your money on crest white strips or dental bleach treatments.


All you need is a regular bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide to get the same results. Start by flossing very well, then brush with hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes. Follow that by brushing with regular toothpaste. When I did this i noticed a difference in 3 days. In fact, my teeth got a little too white. Crest white strips have a slightly higher concentration than the regular hydrogen peroxide in a bottle. Don't spend 30-40 dollars for white strips, or hundreds for dental treatments when you can get the same results with a 3 dollar bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
