What is the best teeth whitener?

Asked by lbwhite89 (1213

I had an impacted baby tooth that I had removed a couple of years ago. I’m 21 so, obviously, all of my permanent teeth have grown in already. Because of this, the new tooth grew in crooked (a bit higher than the others). I’m not sure of the reason, but now this tooth is quite a bit duller than the others. It’s not yellow or rotten, but it’s definitely a different color than my other teeth and it’s embarrassing. I just noticed it today.

I’m looking for a teeth whitener with a brush applicator, but I don’t want to fork out a bunch of money if it’s not going to work. I want to apply the whitener just to this tooth until it matches the others, and then apply it to all of them once they’re even. I’m looking to spend $20—$25 at a drug store.

Go smile. They used to sell the whiteners and toothpastes on HSN, but you can buy it at Ulta. I use it, it works wonders!

Yea Crest white strips or even listerine whitening strips. I have tried both.

Yes, the Crest white strips work pretty well, I used to use them.
I had dental molds made a few years ago that last a lifetime basically, and now I buy 30% bleaching solution from my dentist for $30 a tube. The original molds cost about $200 but well worth it IMO.

Thanks for the answers, but in my question I asked for one with a brush applicator. Like a gel as opposed to a strip. I can’t spot treat with a strip. Anyone tried Colgate Simply White?

All home teeth whiteners are the same. There is only one active ingredient in them, and the max the FDA allows in each product is 23%. So find your one with the applicator you prefer and get it, as there is no difference in the product.
