I got braces and someone once told me that it was bad to use whitening toothpaste because it whitened around the brace, is this true or false?

Braces Problem??

Posted on September 8, 2010

I have had braces for close to 3 years now and I was wondering...I brush my teeth pretty good and i floss ( or i will try to floss the best i can). Since you are not allowed to use whitening toothpaste while wearing braces, if you had/have braces, what did you use to brush your teeth?? What did you use or do to keep icky stuff from sticking to the back of your teeth..I have some plaque on the back of my front bottom teeth and I was wondering how can i get rid of it?? I know alot of it wont come off unless i go to the dentist which i go to on the 25th of July..what can i do to keep my teeth clean and plaque free??

My teeth werent perfect in the first place, but I have noticed that they are getting less and less white. I really want pretty teeth when they come off because I used to be the kid with huge buck teeth so is there anything I can do (besides electric toothbrush and whitening toothpaste) to whiten them. The crest whitestrips say not to use them with braces so I need something else.

How can I whiten my teeth cheaply at home?

Posted on August 25, 2010

I want my teeth to be more white. I already use a whitening toothpaste and an electric toothbrush, and I brush and use mouthwash twice a day, but I'm not happy with the colour of my teeth. Is there anything else I could be doing to help? I did hear somewhere that sucking on lemons will help... is this true or harmful or neither or both?

I'm a poor student so I can't afford professional whitening treatments or anything too flashy.

Any input is appreciated, as long as it's sensible.

Can I have some help choosing a new toothpaste please?

Posted on August 25, 2010

I have fairly straight teeth.

I have been using Crest Pro-Health Whitening toothpaste for 2-3 months now, along with the rinse. But now I hear it causes staining and other stuff.

I've decided to buy ACT Rinses from now on.

All I need is the toothpaste, I liked crest pro-health because it had everything tartar, whitening, plaque, enamel..EVERYTHING.

SO can you suggest a new one? please
