Is peroxide safe for tooth whitening? Also, best professional dental whitening procedure..?

everyone says to dip your toothbrush in peroxide to whiten teeth while brushing but isn't this dangerous? It says on the bottle that it's poison or whatever...I mean i know you wouldn't swallow it but some might accidently go down. Is this sort of what they use at the dentist? Most whitening toothpastes won't brighten my teeth because i don't have surface stains I just don't have super white teeth anymore. Is this safe and will it work, I cant afford a professional dental whitening yet. When i can though, what are the different options and how much do they cost? Is lazer whitening the best?

what i do is after i brush my teeth i mix peroxide and mouthwash(1/2 and 1/2) together and then after a few times your teeth are whiter and so far it hasnt done anything to me...lol.
Reply:I have swished and gargled peroxide in the past, it's never done anything to me. Of course it's not a good idea to swallow it but dipping your brush in there won't hurt at all.
Reply:idk if its bad to just brush, but dont swallow, now if u want to whiten ur teeth w/ something u find around the house u can always use backing soda, just put ur brush in some backing soda and start brushing..... or for imidiate change, use a white marker, just make sure u dont miss a spot, :D , hope it helped....





Notice:


there is no such thing as a white marker if u didnt get it... or if ur blond... lol
Reply:i think peroxide is safe.


mix it withbaking soda too. i'm sure it wont poison you. if anything i would be worried about your enamel. but there is this stuff for that. it a listerine kind.


but yeah, you should be fine.


and i would stay away from lazer stuff
