The recommended way to treat a pimple is by using salicylic acid treatments during the daytime (usually 1-2%) and benzoyl peroxide treatments at night (5-10%).\n\nHowever, good quick spot treatment is to use toothpaste (not gel) on the blemish and surrounding area. Leave it on until it dries. Then rinse it off with cool water. That will reduce the redness.

yup i have heard lime juice is good for any dark spots on your body it is very helpful. one thing to keep in mind super important it helps but use it only at night for several days but wash it good in the morning never never never go out in the sun with it cuz it will stain your skin. yup just as it lightens it with the sun it will stain it. so just make sure wherever you use it cuz it could be used on the face for spots make sure you wash it pretty good and wear sunblock for going out in the sun. \nhad forgotten about this myself but will give it a try have heard of it so often.

The crest whitening products work great. I use Crest whitening toothpaste and it's made a difference.

Hi,\n\nIt's difficult to tell exactly without seeing your mouth but 'Blackening' could be caused for a number of reasons.....\n\nFirst thing please try and stop smoking, most of the patients I see with severe gum problems that lead to losing their teeth are smokers, It really badly affects the gums.\n\n The blackening is very likely due to nicotine staining, but can also be a sign that your gums are receeding, as the root surface of teeth when exposed stains a lot more as the root is more porous. Exposed roots are also more prone to decay, although your Dentist should have spotted if this is the case, and are also a sign of gum disease (very common in smokers)\n\n Ideally you should be seeing a Dental Hygienist every 3 months if you smoke, if there is not one at your practice you can ask your dentist to refer you to one at another practice if need be as long as you have a referral letter.\n\nAbrasive pastes like Eucryl and Pearl Drops should not be used regularly as they will roughen and abrade away the enamel and ultimately make the staining worse and your teeth sensitive , same goes for lemon juice, way too acidic, leave a tooth in lemon juice and it dissolves completely eventually!\n\nIf it is just surface staining I advise my patients to use a toothpaste containing Bicarbonate of soda and and electric toothbrush (you can get them as cheap as £12 now) this can work wonders too. \n\nThe only way to  whiten  teeth properly is to have them professionally cleaned by a Dentist or Hygienist and then bleached  by a dentist. \n\nThe stuff sold in the shops does not contain enough peroxide (the active ingredient) to remove anything but a little suface staining.You need to have at least 10% peroxide and this strength is only legally available to dentists in the UK . To do home bleaching supervised by a dentist costs around £350 but gets fantastic results. You wear two bleaching trays for a couple of hours a night for approx 2 wks depending on lightening needed.\n\nYou can also have speed whitening done at the dentist in 1 hour and at around £650, but beware this can make your teeth and gums very sensitive! better to do it gradually over a couple of weeks when you get the same results anyway.\n\nIf the teeth are really badly stained they may need to be crowned or veneered to make a big difference. \n\nMention your concerns about your appearance to the Dentist at your next appointment, that's what they are there for! they may not even be aware of your concern, but should be able to discuss options with you. Good Luck!\n\nHope this helps!

No, white patches are completely normal. Cavaties will appear black or brown. The cure for cavaties (of course) are fillings. However, fillings are no longer ugly silver patches in your mouth. A white filling is now avaliable (but may cost more). To prevent cavaties you can ask you dentist for sealants. It's a clear shell that goes on your molars to prevent cavaties and decay. Cavaties don't spread. Sugar takes the effect on one tooth, unless more than one tooth was exposed.

No, it will not change the shade of your teeth.  It may do a little better at removing some of the everyday stains caused by such things as smoking and drinking dark beverages but it will not 'whiten' your teeth.  Also, I wouldn't recommend using it because whitening toothpastes are very abravsive and could potentially cause damage to the enamel of the teeth.

I have tried plain old (white) toothpaste at night and by the morning they dry up some, just be sure to wash gently with warm water using a non irritating soap, such as Purpose Soap.  Hope this helps.

Many teeth whitening processes involve rubbing your teeth with abrasive materials, but you want to avoid rubbing them too much, because if you rub off the top layer of your teeth, the tooth enamel, your dentine layer will be exposed. \nThis is harmful to your teeth as well as making your teeth look greyish. Use caution and a soft bristle brush with home-made teeth whitening attempts. \n\n1. Lemon Juice (either from a bottle or from a lemon) mixed with a bit of table salt. In a small cup, mix the cupful of lemon juice with two to three very small spoonfuls of salt. Dip your toothbrush in and gently rub. Rinse mouth with water. Do not apply salt directly to the brush. Do this once every second day for up to 5 times. After doing this, brush your teeth with toothpaste – acids can actually cause tooth staining if left on the teeth.\n\n2. Try fruit! Rub a strawberry on your front teeth before brushing your teeth with regular or whitening toothpaste.\n\n3. Baking soda. Mix fresh baking soda with some cold water and gently rub teeth with the mixture. Use the flat part of your finger or a soft bristle toothbrush dipped into the baking soda to apply the baking soda to your front teeth. Do not rub vigorously or with a hard toothbrush. Let the baking soda sit for a couple of minutes, rubbing gently. Rinse mouth with clean water.\n\n4. Or, try vinegar! Dip a soft toothbrush in vinegar and brush gently. Avoid excessive vinegar on your gums, the acid can make your gums feel unpleasant. Rinse mouth with water after. To get between the teeth, try dipping your floss in vinegar before flossing.\n\n5. Make a paste of vinegar with baking soda. Mix vinegar with baking soda and apply the paste to your front teeth with your finger, rubbing gently using up and down motions.  Rinse mouth with water. While rinsing, force water between teeth by closing teeth and pouring water into your mouth.\n\n6. Some people try brushing or even rinsing their teeth with hydrogen peroxide. This may whiten your teeth, but the peroxide can damage your gums and the lining of your mouth. Also, keep in mind that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the bottles you can buy, and in the whitening agents you can buy, is different. If you do choose to do this, dab the peroxide on a tiny bit at a time with a cotton swab, to prevent any peroxide from touching your gums.\n\nAn important thing to remember with these home remedies for teeth whitening methods is to be patient. It will take time to remove the stains on the teeth, and it may take several weeks to see results. Don’t forget to continue your normal teeth and mouth cleaning regimen as well.

That baking soda toothpaste is the best one.  (Arm&hammers)  Also, be sure to floss and use listerine mouthwash before brushing twice a day at least.  You could use just regular baking soda too instead of toothpaste once a day.  Just baking soda is supposed to be great for your tooth enamel.  It sounds weird, but I've tried it and still do it. No problems with my teeth, and always get compliments from my dentist.:)  Try it.

This is going to sound weird, but toothpaste! I know it sounds weird but the baking soda and the mint really do open the pores.

It's not going to happen.  Whitening toothpastes will not change the shade of your teeth.... at best, they may do a little better at removing some of the everyday stains caused by such things as smoking and drinking dark beverages.  I do not recommend them because they are very abrasive and could potentially harm the enamel of the teeth.  As for the over-the-counter bleaching materials such as crest white strips, NONE of them are approved by the ADA (American Dental Association).  For products that are approved by the ADA you will need to see your dentist.  Also, it's best to be under the care of a dentist while you are whitening due to high reports of sensitivity and in case of any allergic reactions.

I did the baking soda peroxide, and yeah it isnt the best tasting stuff but i did see results, I reccomend doing the peroxide/baking soda first then use your regular toothpaste, it helps get the nasty taste out and leaves your mouth minty fresh!

Try using sensodyne tooth paste and then rub it in on the real sensitive spots before bed (leave it on over night. Also you can ask you dds for a concentrated flouride product. Space out your use of the strips to prevent more sensitivity.

Avoid pop, coffee or smoking which can all yellow/darken your teeth.  You can also try brushing your teeth after meals.  If you are out at a restaurant and you cannot brush right after a meal where you had pop or coffee, go to the restroom and swish some water around in your mouth and spit.  It is not exactly like brushing but will get some of the residue off your teeth.\nIn addition to that, use a whitening toothpaste, and if you want to spend a little more (25$ about) buy a whitening kit that you only have to do once a year or so.  Those are a little costly, but not compared to how much it would cost to  have your teeth professionally whitened.
