Your Fridge's Worst Nightmare
Admittingly, my mom brushed my teeth up until somewhere around third grade. I hated it so much that when she stopped, I barely ever brushed my teeth. As a result, my teeth are a healthy shade yellow, which I'm sure no one desires.
Now everyone sees the whitening toothpaste, gum, kits, etc. and they think it's some sort of miracle. I find it hard to believe that these things can actually whiten teeth without reprocussion. I have in fact, heard that these whiteners can damage teeth. How they work, from what I understand, is by erroding away the discolored enamel, exposing the white underneath. This of course, is not healthy for your teeth at all.
Is what I have heard true, or simply a wive's tale? Is the use of whitening toothepaste alright?

Is it safe?

Some whitening produts CAN infact erode away your enamel, but not ALL of them do. Obviously, you want to avoid the ones that use bleach, because that will eat away at your teeth as well as your gums, but do clean your teeth quite nicely. Most of the newer products are fairly safe, so you don't have much to worry about.
The most popular product, and one of the safest, is Supersmile. It's a toothpaste and it's recommended by every cosmetic dentist. Adam Sandler uses it :O

heh, I had that SAME EXACT image ready to post, but I got tied up with a phone call...

Hey-oh!
Crest Whitestrips.
My teeth are sensitive, and those whitestrips made them hurt like a motherfuckerif I didn't go a day between. Don't do two a day, every day. Give your teeth a break every now and then and skip a few days. it won't lessen their whitening effect and that way you won't get mind-numbing tooth pain.
My stepmom and I have both done two boxes of the Premium kind (total of about $50) and it's noticeably better. My mother had pretty yellow teeth and did three boxes, now they look awesome (she had super sensitivity problems though, had to take a lot of advil and use tooth pain paste). They're pretty cheap, especially if you get them on sale. Whitening toothpaste has never done much for me, but I use that Crest Vivid White anyway because I like the mint taste.

And from here on out "teeths" is a word. And they can have asses as well.

Whitestrips gave me no pain at all, even though I have sensitive teeth and some unfilled cavities.
metal = rude
people who's teeth are too white look silly. Just be natural.
My dad is a dentist.
He doesn't use whitening toothpaste. He uses baking soda and peroxide.
Take note.
