• Zoom Whitening for Tetracycline Stains

  I talked to my dentist about solutions for my tetracycline stains. I cannot afford porcelain veneers and told him that. His suggestion is that I use Zoom Whitening because it is very strong. Before I get my hopes up about this solution, I wanted to get a second opinion. Do you think this is a…

• Zoom Whitening and a Date on the Same Day

  I finally talked my parents into letting me get Zoom Whitening done on my teeth. The appointment is for February 13. I did that in the hopes that if Brandon asked me out for Valentine’s Day that I’d have a beautiful smile for our date. I’ve been waiting for him to ask me out for…

• Solution for White Spots

  I had braces in my mid-twenties. Yes, that is late, but my parents were quite poor and I needed to wait until I had the money to do it myself. After they were off, I noticed these white spots on my two front teeth. I asked my dentist if there was anything we could do…

• Using Home Peroxide to Whiten Teeth

  Is there a reason I cannot just use the peroxide I have at home to whiten my teeth. It’s basically the same thing, right? I was thinking if I rinsed with it everyday it would have the same effect. Callie Dear Callie, Great question! There are some teeth whitening principles here to think about. First,…

• Pain With Teeth Whitening

  I’ve been doing at home bleaching of my teeth with a kit I purchased over the counter. Everything was fine until today. While wearing the gel strip, I had a zing of pain that lasted for about 40 seconds. I noticed the area getting the zing is a tooth where I had a chip repaired.…

I want to bleach my teeth using Crest Whitestrips, but want to make sure they won’t damage my porcelain veneers first. Brenda Dear Brenda, Tooth…

• Tanda Pearl Ionic Teeth Whitening

  I just saw an advertisement for an at home teeth whitening system that is supposed to work in just 5 minutes using a special ionic light. My teeth whitening trays ache my jaw so I was thinking just doing it for five minutes would be much better. Do you know anything about this system? Pam…

• Brown Spots on Teeth

  I am trying to figure out if getting professional teeth whitening will help the brown spots on my teeth. My dentist doesn’t offer teeth whitening but she’s been helping me with all the over-the-counter brands we can find. None of them have helped. Now she is thinking about grinding down the brown spots until we…

• Can Dental Bonding be Whitened?

  I have dental bonding that is almost 15 years old. It has lasted longer than I expected and I know it is time to replace it, I just don’t have the money at the moment. I know you can’t make dental bonding any whiter with teeth whitening, but will it at least get it back…

• Premium Home Whitening

  I received an offer for Premium Home Whitening. This is almost $100 less than what my dentist charges. Is it effective and safe to use? Morgan Dear Morgan, As far as their teeth whitening ingredient goes, it is a valid one. It will whiten your teeth. However, I am having a bit of trouble endorsing…
