In order to find out the best Teeth Whitening product, one should first have one’s teeth checked by qualified dentists. It has often been noticed that people do not need any whitening product still they prefer to go for whitening procedure and in the process they cause some permanent damage to the teeth.
Just go through the list of some products which will help you find out the best teeth whitening product.
• Tray whitening kits, available over the counter are highly effective in bringing the lost whiteness of your teeth. These are easy to use and have no side effects whatsoever.
• Whitening strips: this is a quick fix kind of method of whitening teeth. It is as the name suggests a strip with a whitening agent. You can simply stick it to your teeth and leave it for some time. This product is also worth trying because no tray or whitening gel is used. It is a dry method therefore no special preparation is required.
• Paint on teeth whitening as the name suggests, puts a shining white paint on your teeth which stay for a few weeks and need to be reapplied. It is more a like cover for your stains rather than a solution.
• Whitening toothpaste is something used by those whose dental yellowness has started? If you start using it before your teeth turn pale, teeth staining can be delayed to a great extent.
Finally if all else fails, laser method is the only rescue. Just go for laser teeth whitening if you can afford it and maintain the lovely smile.]]> Teeth Whitening system. Some have been successful in launching a few good products while others are still testing the waters.

The mouth can be divided into sections:
• Arches (there are 2 arches present)- an arch will divide the mouth into top and
bottom
• Quadrants (there are 4 quadrants present)- a quadrant divides an arch into right
and left
These divisions refer to both the primary and permanent dentitions.
Maxillary Arch
• This is the top arch or jaw.
• The maxillary arch contains 16 permanent teeth.

* Place the bristles at a 45 degree angle to the gum line, and slide the tips of the brush under the gums.
* Gently jiggle the bristles or move it in small circles over the tooth and gums.
* Brush the outside, the inside, and the chewing surfaces of your teeth. For chewing surfaces, use a light back and forth motion.
* For the front teeth, brush the inside surfaces of the upper and lower jaws: Tilt your brush vertically and make several strokes up and down with the front part of the brush over the teeth and gum tissues.
* Brushing your tongue will help freshen your breath. Debris and bacteria can collect on your tongue and cause bad breath.
* Since your toothbrush will only clean one or two teeth at a time, change its position to clean each tooth properly.
* Brush at least once every day, preferably at bedtime. Adding a brush time after breakfast increases your chances of thorough daily plaque removal.
* Take your time: A thorough brushing should take at least 3 minutes.
* Don't brush your teeth too vigorously, and don't use a hard bristled toothbrush, since it causes the gums to recede and exposes root surfaces. It also wears down the tooth structure. Both of these conditions can lead to tooth sensitivity.
* A pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste is sufficient.
* Replace your brush when the bristles begin to spread, as a worn out toothbrush will not properly clean your teeth.]]> * Be sure your brush is the right size (in general, smaller is better than larger).

My teeth have followed the path of my hair, with age it continues to worsen. ...well, I decided to restyle my hair by completely going bald (it was a forced decision ) but I can't just rip my teeth out obviously.

So, on my adventure towards white teeth I have tried a few techniques, not many, but still a few.

Technique #1: Brushing my teeth! Believe it or not, brushing your teeth does have some effects. I decided to brush my teeth twice a day. Once in the morning, and again at night. Mind you, I may have missed a day or two, more than once.

Result: The nasty green color in my teeth went away. The yellow became much less noticeable.

Technique #2: Brushing my teeth with baking soda! Enjoyable? Maybe not. Effective? Definitely. If you are willing to torture yourself by brushing your teeth with baking soda then there may be some good results from doing so. After a while you might even grow to enjoy the flavor!

Result: I did this while brushing my teeth with normal toothpaste. By adding baking soda it almost got all the unwanted colors and grossness out of my teeth.

Technique #3: Brushing my teeth with Sensodyne ProNamel! Alright, so I have a dentist friend and I got her to steal me some toothpaste. Clever? Definitely. Small tubes, definitely will not last too long, but I will have to buy more in the future.

Result: I just used it for the first time five minutes ago (inspired me to write this) and I was pleasantly surprised with the results after just one use! A sloppy use of course, just rushing myself to get back to the computer, no effort when brushing.

Let me just put it this way...I just went about a week without brushing my teeth and during the week my teeth have seen a lot of scary things. They were really yucky once again but right after brushing them all the nasty stuff went away! Now they are pretty much completely white. While it may be far from a shiny white, it is no longer yellow, green, etc.

Also, not only did it change my teeth's color but they feel different too. They feel stronger, but it feels like I got a swolen overbite for some reason

...it feels like I have the messy teeth whitening strips on my mouth stuck there, hardening in place.

There are parasites crawling out of my nose!

Ohh dear, I think the toothpaste got me high.]]>

So far we haven’t seen much proof of that in terms of graphical performance, but much of that is due to the general downturn in exclusive titles- developing two separate versions of a game would be far less cost-effective. Having recently picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 to play with my fiancée on the PS3 (she finds the 360 controllers a bit too bulky) we popped in the disc, excited to once again run around as superheroes and pound various enemies into oblivion. Nothing was available until after it finished the lengthy installed. Well first it had to download an update. Unlike the 360, which simply gives you the choice of updating you’re game or signing out of Xbox Live. Usually when I’m playing a new game I’m far too excited about getting started on it to worry about the patch. If there are serious game-crashing bugs, then I’ll go back and update it.

Adult teeth or permanent teeth replace the primary teeth. They aid in digestion, speech and general appearance. There are 32 permanent teeth, with the main difference from primary teeth is that there are 4 premolars and 6 molars in each arch. Permanent teeth begin erupting at 6yrs of age and end at 21yrs of age. Some people may not have some if not all their 3rd molars due to evolutionary changes leading to the lack of development of these teeth. 3rd molars may not erupt due to becoming embedded in jaw. The tooth consists of a crown and root, and the tooth is composed of different materials that aid in strengthening, preserving and maintaining its function.
Adult teeth begin to replace the front milk teeth from the age of about six. For the next six to eight years there is a gradual replacement of milk teeth by adult teeth. This stage is called mixed dentition, as both milk and adult teeth will be from the mouth at the same time. By the age of about 12-14 all adult teeth should have appeared using the exception of wisdom teeth (third molars). At this stage the mouth will contain twenty-eight teeth.

Tooth definition:
Any of the hard bony structures in the mouth used to grasp and chew food and as weapons of attack and defense. In mammals and many other vertebrates, the teeth are set in sockets in the jaw. In fish and amphibians, they grow in and around the palate.
A hard structure, embedded in the jaws of the mouth, that functions in chewing. The tooth consists of a crown, covered with hard white enamel; a root, which anchors the tooth to the jawbone; and a “neck” between the crown and the root, covered by the gum. Most of the tooth is made up of dentin, which is located directly below the enamel. The soft interior of the tooth, the pulp, contains nerves and blood vessels. Humans have molars for grinding food, incisors for cutting, and canines and bicuspids for tearing.............. for more ]]> <![CDATA[Newbie Corner!]]> http://teethforum.com/thread-114.html Sat, 16 Jan 2010 07:36:29 -0800 http://teethforum.com/thread-114.html

My top 4 teeth were crooked and I wanted to get it straightened, having braces costs too much and wasn't really an option. I recently got 4 porcelain veneers done at the top of my teeth. The two main ones and the one of my right are fine. It's just my left furthest one keeps breaking.

First time it broke because my lower tooth pointed out like Dracula and I must've just moved my upper and bottom tooth together and chipped it off. So he then proceeded to 'shave' my lower tooth and make it smooth and put on a new veneer.

Second time it happened, it happened in my sleep. I woke up, and felt it in my mouth all broken. I went to the dentist and he told me that I grind my teeth at night and that I might need to wear a mouth guard for the rest of my life when I sleep! That's so depressing, I never knew I grinded my teeth at night (I mean, how would you know?) and the dentist never mentioned anything about grinding so I never thought about it.

Got it fixed again around 4 days ago, he then proceeded to shave my lower tooth just a bit lower to avoid the grinding. Was eating Christmas dinner and immediately felt my tooth feel weird. Great, I just looked at my plate and saw my veneer right there on the food. I have no idea how it snapped off! I was just eating mash/turkey and pudding.  Around 2/3rd of it snapped off and now I can feel the other 1/3rd of it on my tooth and it feels really weird.

This is really getting annoying, because I have to go to the dentist once to get it shaved it and then wait a whole week and go again to get the new one put in place. In the past 2 months I've been to the dentist over 8 times. Argh. I'm lucky I have a year guarantee, but if this keeps happening then I’m going to get super paranoid that it's going to happen to my 3 other teeth..and what if it happens a year after when I have no guarantee to get a new one? I'll have to pay all over again! I'm constantly in fear in what I eat, arghh. I'm even afraid of doing little things like eating apples, or ripping cello-tape with my teeth because I might chip my tooth.

Pics:

[Image: teethpx.jpg]

The top picture is when i quickly placed the veneer in it's original place and quickly took a picture, the second picture is how my tooth looks now and as you can see the dentist got the colouring of my teeth 95% correct, you can hardly tell the difference between my real teeth and the veneer, the problem is that this tooth just KEEPS snapping/breaking. Sad

This is really getting annoying, because I have to go to the dentist once to get it shaved it and then wait a whole week and go again to get the new one put in place. In the past 2 months I've been to the dentist over 8 times. Argh. I'm lucky I have a year guarantee, but if this keeps happening then I’m going to get super paranoid that it's going to happen to my 3 other teeth..and what if it happens a year after when I have no guarantee to get a new one? I'll have to pay all over again! I'm constantly in fear in what I eat, arghh. I'm even afraid of doing little things like eating apples, or ripping cello-tape with my teeth because I might chip my tooth.
