Help! 3 questions!! 2 on Skin care and 1 on teeth care?!?!?

Posted on May 25, 2011

Question #1: My skin (my face((especially my forehead)) is always so oily! In school, I have to go to the bathroom every hour to wipe off all the oil on my forhead! How can I stop this!?!?! I wash my face every morning with the wave!

Question #2: I have acne on my forehead, a little bit even on my scalp!, and (very little and not showing) on my jawline. Quick way to make it go away and stay away!?!? Don't forget I wash my face every morning with the wave!

Question #3: I have braces and I'm getting them off in August '09. I'm afraid of what my teeth will look like when they take the braces off! I'm afraid that there will be marks where my braces are because my teeth may have gotten yellower, or even whiter, since I got them on. How do I prevent this from happening, and what can I do if it does happen? (If you are going to say whitening strips, recommend 1, and if you are going to say get my teeth whitened, include how long it takes!) Help! 10 points!

What is the best brand of teeth whitening trays?

Posted on May 25, 2011

I just got my braces off today. :) I am going to whiten my teeth so what is the best brand of whitening trays (the plastic ones filled with gel, not the flimsy sheets with gel lining on the inside) and how much do they cost on average? Also, have you heard about the 2-day whitening strips? Do they work, and how much do they cost?

How To Get Whiter Teeth (With Braces On)?

Posted on May 21, 2011

Hey guyss. I'm wondering how to get whiter teeth if you have braces on. My teeth aren't like a gross yellow color, but they are slightly discolored, and I don't like it. I don't want to wait until I get my braces off, because I'm getting them off in the summer of 2012! Long time from now.....Anyways so any ideas on how to get whiter teeth with braces on?
P.S. I can't use baking soda because my mom won't let me, and she also won't buy any kind of whitening strips!! >:( mooooooooooom

Does baking soda really make your teeth whiter?

I heard mixing Hydrogen Peroxide and baking soda then brushing with it really whitens your teeth. Is that true?
If so, How many times do you have to do it? How often? Is it really worth it since you have to taste it? How long do the results last?

I've tried whitening strips, But they make my teeth hurt for some reason.
What's a good whitening toothpaste/rinse? One that you've personally tried. ALL tooth pastes claim to whiten, But really they just brush the plaque off for a few hours.

Any dentists here? What are some teeth whitening options?

I keep hearing about Crest brand whitening strips. However, they also say that the doctor's "in office" procedure also works wonders.
What are the pricing differences?
What do you guys recommend?

My teeth are not yellow, they are just not that white. I brush twice a day.

Thanks for all your help =)

Where can I purchase teeth whitening strips that whiten over night? HELP!?

I just got my braces off. My teeth are nice && straight now.
Although,my teeth are so discolored! I cannot go to school like this.
I saw a comercial for whitening strips that you put over your teeth and I think it like covers up the real color of your teeth. It's like a disguise. lol.
You know what I'm talking about? Any suggestions?
