safe way to whiten teeth?

i really want to whiten my teeth, but im afraid to damage the protective layer or something, forgot what it was called. so anyway, is there a product that whitens teeth well, and does minimal damage to your teeth?

Crest White Strips don't damage the protective layer AKA enamel, but they can cause sensitivity.

Re: safe way to whiten teeth?

ANY of the whitening products on the market are safe.

I've tried the Crest whitening strips (a pain in the butt using them) with good results.

I've tried the Crest nighteffects. Good results, but didn't like the feel of it on my teeth.

I'm now using the Colgate Simply White Night gel. I don't feel it on my teeth. I'm liking the results.

I don't do the full process....meaning I didn't do the strips for 14 days twice a day. I did it 14 days once a day and a few time in there one after the other (so, some were twice a day). I did the Nighteffects for about 8 days. I've used it periodically afterward for brightening.

The Colgate, I used for 5 nights and now every second or third night.

They give you the amount of time for the best results. I just do mine when they need it.

I have sensitive teeth and gums, and none of the above products have given me any problems

I also am using the Aquafresh whitening (original formula) toothpaste and the Reach whitening toothbrush.

So far...I like the results. But I'm not wanting bright white teeth. Just naturally brighter.

They're affordable. Worth it, for sure.

Ihope you get the results you want with no grief!

Re: safe way to whiten teeth?

hey guys thanks for your replies anyway, i was thinking. maybe they're giving you problems you don't immediately see or feel, but will matter in time. say if your ename is damaged i don't htink you feel it right away, but your teeth will become more vulnerable. i really have to be careful with this cause im going to need these teeth for another 70 years or so.
