You have broke this down and explain this for everyone probably better than anyone ever has
She didn't mention how baking soda will break down enamel.
Thank you, this was very educational.
fantastic video, well informed, thank you
When using sensitivity toothpaste as you suggested, can you incorporate a whitening mouthwash as well? I'm not sure if using a mouth wash together with a sensitive teeth toothpaste (pre, during, post) would interfere with other active ingredients in the toothpaste making it less effective.
I actually understood EVERYTHING u said Tysm for this!!
You are gorgeous and glowing!! Thank you for a wonderful video.
thanks for tip on using sensitive toothpaste before,during, & after the process. appreciate that
Thanks for the great information!
You have beautiful teeth. Great video!

Thank you so much for your video!!
thank you so much. you really helped me.
Thank you so much ( : I'm glad to hear that it doesn't ruin the teeths xD
Thanks Dr. for your video , btw , may i know if i use the homemade tooth paste just like you suggested , will it irritate my gums or my teeth? In my country , they sell hydrogen peroxide for cleaning stuff , but still 3% concentration, can i still use it ? Thank youu❤️
Would it be fine to use whitening strips on a chipped tooth. Im wanting to whiten my teeth a bit before i go in to get it fixed. Thanks for your help! Very informative video.
I know a lot of people said this but, thank you!
Thanks for ur tips I will try the Hydro peroxide with the baking soda that sounds interesting and it sounds like it will work so yeah I will keep you updated on that thanks
Thankyou so much you just saved me £500 I was going to get my teeth whiten at the dentis till I came across you I definitely buy the teeth whitening strips 😊
Did they work nicely?
Thank you for the explanation. Was going to buy the strips. I didn't know whether it's safe or not. And also thought those light whitening was a gimmick 😅
What did you choose?
I think she means in the office light systems.
The Light systems don't do much beyond the first day. They give the appearance of whiter teeth for 24 hours because they dry the tooth (and thus customers will intially be happier). After that first day the diff between normal whitening and the light whitening is nil.
Awesome video Dr. White! I used Crest Professional White Strips after my braces removal about 12 years ago. I plan to use them soon and will try to tag you. Thank you for the information.
I also, had braces. Do you have any recommendations?
The music to this video is a boppp!
Glad you like it!
I just wanna say something and this has nothing to do with the vid,YOU'RE PRETTY😍😍
Very interesting I’ve been interested invested quite a few dollars in with no desired result, I’ll try the peroxide baking powder!
Hi Dr White, thanks for your videos!
Should I use sensitive toothpaste WHILE using Crest white stripes? Thanks.
Yes, use sensitivity toothpaste before, throughout and after whitening therapy.
@@DrBrigitteWhite thanks!
Hi if I need to go max 1 or 2 shades lighter which option should I go for. Thanks
Coming here after applying whitening strippes that made my gums all white because of my teeth being so tiny (strips too big) -_-
Cut them I half and only use them on your font teeth! Saves money and your gums from getting white as well
You have a beautiful smile.
Great video! Do white strips do anything if you having fillings or crowns?
yea , the crowns and fillings is going to keep it yellow. Your mouth is going to be different colors
I used this a few times and my teeth l hurt due to sensitivity. I use sensodyne sensitive toothpaste. Is there a different one that would help more with the sensitivity?
Great video :)
Hello Dr. I really love your video. My PCP recommended me Crest for teeth whitening. I've a question. I've a tooth with white spot since my childhood. In one of your replies you said it could be early cavity, but my dentist never mentioned anything about the spot and I don't have any issues either. Can I use the Crest whitening strips without harming my teeth?
Hello Zarrin! Thank you for following! White spots can occur for various reasons. They may present as areas of hypermineralization that occurred during tooth development. There are dental procedures that use materials to help reduce the appearance of these spots. Perhaps your dentist can advise.
Thanks Dr. You're the best ☺️
And Dr. sorry to disturb but can I ask one more question please. I couldn't get the Crest whitening strips that I wanted. So bought hydrogen peroxide which I got as 6% conc. If I use it as mouthwash, will it work for teeth whitening? How long should I use it then?
Can we use these whitening methods if my teeth had icon treatment to fix the white spots a year ago, I'm worried the whitening would cause the white spots to be more obvious..
Great video so basically If I were to use 2 tablespoon baking soda, 2 tablespoons of hydroxide peroxide and brush with say about 2 weeks I should see some difference white teeth? Thank You That is cheaper than the whiter strips
Hi Dr. Plz tell me is that OK to do teeth whitening procedure after few months,if teeth gets pale after few months ?
Hey thank you for posting this video. I'm about to so my first ever teeth whitening at my dentist office in a few weeks and I'm super nervous. I have pretty strong teeth currently and I'm afraid of the sensitivity that could happen after the process. I do chew on Ice from Low Iron, but that's about it..Gums are clean and no cavities !! Should I be worried or am I bugging for no reason ? 🤔 Plz, all advice is helpful🙏🏾
Thank You 😊
Hello! How exciting to brighten your smile. I would suggest to start using a sensitivity toothpaste before your whitening appointment and continue for a couple weeks afterwards.
Hey Kimberly! I was wondering if you could share the process and your results of the in office whitening treatment? Would you recommend it?
Ok WAIT !
To be honest , just looking at you 3 times a day THAT will whitning teeth and life too
OMG so pretty!
What sensitivity toothpaste would u recommend?!!🤠
great informative video
Hi! It is very helpful. I was wondering how long after using peroxide on teeth it is allowed to consume staining products, like coffee. Would you mind answering it, please? :)
Aurigandrea after teeth whitening, the enamel is very sensitive to staining. I advise waiting 24 hours before consuming colored foods and beverages. Using a whitening toothpaste helps retain brightness.
@@DrBrigitteWhite are crest whitestrips safe to use on front teeth that have restoration fillings on them and close to the gum line?
recent study says whitening can damage proteins and disintegrate teeth. they don't know how it affects living teeth and no one had had problems years later.
Beautiful! 😍
If i use the crest ones, after I finish the treatment, should I use them like monthly? Or use them once and then just brush?
Hello Doctor.
Tysm! ✨ ✨
I need one clarification? I'm getting a box of crest. I didn't understand what you said about using that sensitivity toothpaste. Kindly guide me. Ty!
Is it bad to use the Optic White and the Hydrogen peroxide / water mix? I have stopped drinking coffee 2 weeks ago I'm hoping to see positive results!! 🙏
You are stunning! Love this video! :)
I think using baking soda more than once a day can erode your teeth. Also brushing hard with it is probably not good long term
Please is it good to keep it on for more than 30mins
Baking soda is abrasive and can strip away the enamel
Wouldn't a mix of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide destroy the teeth enamel?
Thank you 👍
Thank you Dr. Can you please do a video on the potential side effects of using whitening toothpaste. I get a lingering sour aftertaste every time I use a whitening toothpaste and wonder if I should discontinue using the toothpaste. I use pepsodent's whitening toothpaste.
Hi Matthew, try using Sensodyne Extra fresh toothpaste, it helps with teeth sensitivity and whitens the teeth also. But if you want to achieve a pearly white teeth over a short period, use the CREST 3D whitening strip(20 days treatment). Brush with sensodyne toothpaste 30mins before applying the strips, it helps prevent sensitivity and in less than 2weeks, you would start seeing visible difference. i hope you find this helpful.
I hope I’m not dying because I tried the strips only twice and my gums are so sensitive they hurt and still feel burnt and it’s been a bit like they feel better but it’s still there :(
Crest Whitening Strips are amazing!
Hi! Is there a contraidication between breastfeeding and teeth whitening?
should you use sensitivity toothpaste when you use whitning strips or should you use ordinary toothpaste when you use whitning strips?
Very helpful. Do the 3D crest whitening strips are they damaging to the enamel or is the only downside sensitivity? Does it cause permanent damage? I just wanted to know a little bit more about the side effects
Arianna Mendoza hello! I’m so glad you found the video helpful. Crest White strips are not damaging to enamel. They work by breaking apart the stains and returning the teeth to their brighter potential. Temporary sensitivity is a common side effect and can be minimized by using a sensitivity toothpaste.
@@DrBrigitteWhite Thank You Very Much! It's really helpful
@@DrBrigitteWhite Hello! I have a question. My enamel is already heavily damaged - ten of my teeth at the front have noticeable transparent areas. Would you still give the okay on wrest whitening strips or do you think it'd be better if I went to a dentist to get my teeth professionally whitened?
@@lozr666 I would love to know the answer to this too - my teeth are the same way!
So crest 3d white strips are actually okay to use as long as I use a toothpaste for sensitivity before, during, and after treatment? I REALLY want to whiten my teeth but I also REALLY don't want to damage them or cause too much sensitivity or enamel loss. I've heard good things about the strips and bad things and I can't decide whether I should try them or not.
Hi, I ordered a box, how do I follow this precaution? Please guide me?
@@fakefakefake7952 omg I have no idea, sorry. I've never tried them, I was trying to ask her a question but I'm sure you can find a yt video on how to apply them! Sorry, I can't help! But good luck! She was just talking about if you use those strips, u need to use a toothpaste for sensitivity daily, like sensodine, so it can help prevent increased sensitivity in ur teeth. Does the box have directions? Let me know how it goes and whether u like it please!
I just started using the whitening strips. I've seen a bit of change and im on day 2 now. But basically they are designed to be safe for your teeth if you use them correctly. They do not harm your enamel if you use them as the instructions tell you to. And also to add to it when you start doing whitening strips, its often recommended avoiding foods and drinks like coffee, chocolate sodas etc because they could cause staining or some harm, because the way the whitening strips work is that they basically penetrate a layer of your tooth into the enamel and then they chemically whiten the enamel of your tooth. So basically for a little time after using the strips, foods like soda and coffee can get into your teeth more easily and could potentially cause staining and erosion, so it is recommened that you stay away from those. You can find a list of all the types of foods you should avoid and what not to do after using them. But other than that, as long as you use them as instructed your teeth will be just fine. They might not work as well for everyone but for me they seem to be working great!
@@bruhmoment49293 ok, that helps me a lot! Thank you so much!! I will consider using them.
How often is it safe to brush with home made hydrogen peroxide & baking soda??
I have a pale yellow teeth and I tried Crest Strips but they didn’t work. Would gel tray be better?
Thank you
Other doctors say baking soda is damaging your teeth. This is confucing.
I believe she's talking about using it for whitening rather than using it in place of your regular toothpaste. I hope this helps.
Hello. Thank you for your advice/help! So the crest white strips are just a milder version of the in office teeth whitening with hydrogen peroxide. I was terrified of using the crest white strips, considering I heard differently. I have chronic dry mouth, extremely bad! I get white bacteria at the back of my tongue and a little forward which causes bad breath.😣 What do you recommend your clients to rid of bacteria on the tongue? I brush it off daily and it returns quickly! What do you suggest to rid of dry mouth with which I believe is causing this bacteria. My dentist do not have answers. Any natural remedies your aware of? Thank you so much! I look for your reply.
