RE: Off Top Please - Teeth Whitening

[Guest guest]

I believe what the dentist said might be truth but I read that the best way of

getting any type of treatments in any one's mouth is to find a holistic dentist

because they always use other alternatives with no side effects. My best advise

is to consult a holistic dentist, even though they are more expensive, but if

you have dental insurance, it might cover 70% of the treatment.

Subject: [ ] Off Top Please - Teeth Whitening

Need to consult you learned people. On a dentist's website sometime ago the

dentist warned people not to have their teeth whitened as the peroxide caused

weakening of the enamel and eventually the teeth would be damaged as well as

darkened again.

The dentist has since passed on so we can't argue with him or pick his brain

anymore. He said this information came from a chemist's lab trials, rather than

just his opinion.

Does anybody know anything about this? Can any of you recommend a type of

treatment that is better than any others? There is the kind that is just a gel

you use with a mouth tray... or there is the kind that is done by the dentist

using the gel and a light for an hour.

Anybody have opinions? Do those bright teeth we see on TV come from just the

" light " treatment, or do they have a special method that we don't hear about?

Any comments? Please.

my dentist uses Ozone and light to whiten - no chemicals but I live in

Argentina and I am unaware of anyone in US using Ozone for that purpose.

The ozone and light sounds like a good alternative for teeth whitening, but if

you google it in the US (your town and State) you might find it. Just google

dentists that uses ozone and light for teeth whitening. Then let us know if you

find it.

One toothpaste I've used and really been suprised by its whitening ability is

called Auromere Ayurvedic Herbal Toothpaste. I'm using the Cardamom-Fennel/ also

called Non-Foaming. Here's its features I copied from a website.

* Pure and natural

* Concentrated: lasts 3 times longer

* 23 special herbal extracts for optimum care of teeth and gums

* Recommended for sensitive teeth

* Super tooth whitener

I wish it did foam a bit more but I like the taste of it, no stinging mint stuff

and the taste is like a light licorice or Anise flavor which I really like. Its

a pleasing flavor and very mild. All of the links below at have user reviews.

Auromere Herbal Toothpaste Cardamom-Fennel/Non-Foaming (No SLS)

Vitacost - http://bit.ly/dDcL3Q

iherb - http://bit.ly/bd45eE

All flavors of Auromere - Probably do best price-wise at iherb if ordering just

1-2 items. Shipping is cheap under 1 lb (about $2 USA), $4.99 at Vitacost.

Vitacost - http://bit.ly/dd54ia

iherb - http://bit.ly/dbbB6s (I've tried Perio-Brite and did NOT like it)

The other 3 flavors have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (from Indian coconut oil) in

them. The Cardamom-Fennel/Non-Foaming does not.

Happy Whitening,
