Hello, Can this product be used on teeth that have bonding without damaging the bonding material? I have bonding where I have the most stains from coffee, wine, etc. Thank you, Betty

Hello, The process of making the trays and using them will not affect the bonding, there is nothing in the process that would pull the bonding off or damage it. Thank you!

I'm not positive. (I only have a gold crown.) Cheap enough to try and it definitely works on bonded and natural teeth. It's the same ingredient used at dentist office.

You should be able to, I've even applied it to factory paint that has been roughed up with some 80 grit. I haven't had an issue with bonding, this stuff really spreads nice, and bonds well. Work FAST is sets up incredibly quick.

I use a brand of bleach called opalence (I think thats how you spell it) I leave it on for an hour and then brush lightly so I dont irritate my gums or anything. The brand that came with the impressions I havent use it yet but im sure its the same......same strength. I suggest puttin vaseline on ur gums before hand. If you think about it, if you go to the dentist for impressions they cost way way more than this that comes with the bleach and the impressions. You have a good deal with this. I hope I answered your concerns :)

I have a missing front tooth that I use temptooth for. (this product is awesome by the way totally worth the money!!) I leave mine in to eat all the time. It says not to but you can do it. as long as the tooth is in tight enough and you aren't eating something real sticky or gooey. A couple of times I ate something that was kind of sticky or gooey and my tooth came out in the food. I felt it right away both times and was able to just put it back in real quick without anyone noticing and was just real careful while eating the rest of whatever it was I was eating. At first I thought I shouldn't leave it in when eating something that could stain it like spaghetti with the red tomato sauce that it would stain it but I have left it in when eating these types of things and it hasn't stained it at least not where it is noticeable. I do take it out when brushing my teeth just so I can get the teeth around it cleaner without it in the way but if you had to brush in front of others I guess you could brush with it in. They say not to sleep with it either but I have a couple of times and it stayed in place and was fine. Again as long as the tooth is fitting tightly enough that it doesn't easily fall out. Usually I take it out at night though. I have made several backups to use just in case one does accidently get swallowed when eating or I forget to put it on it the morning. A couple of times I was so tired in the morning on my way out the door to work and just totally forgot about my tooth but luckly I had a backup in my purse that I could use and didn't have to go all the way back home to get it. If I don't tell people I have a fake tooth they don't even know.

No the active ingredients in Ultra White have been used for over 18 years on over 200,000 patients without a single case of enamel damage. It can however cause sensitivity which stops after use. If you truly have thin enamel from acid erosion or birth defect the gel will probably not show much results as it whitens enamel well but not the inner dentin of the tooth.

I wear an upper and lower night guard, to protect against my grinding my molars during sleep; I've used Retainer Brite on my clear-colored guards, and have never experienced any staining -- but that could be because I immerse my guards into an ordinary kitchen cup with tablet dissolved in warm water. My dental office staff advised me that once-a-week tablet cleaning is sufficient; on all other days, I gently clean both guards with a soft tooth brush and regular-old Colgate (which is the least abrasive toothpaste). I don't own the Sonic Cleaner, although Amazon had asked me (in an email) to respond to your question.

I believe you would be disappointed in using this product for that particular application. If you had the same tools available as a dentist (cleaners, forced air, and curing tools), I'm sure you would then have no problem with it bonding to your bridge after application. Having the area perfectly clean and perfectly dry is paramount I believe. Unfortunately, those conditions are hard to achieve if you are not in a dentist's setting. I would look for a product that would bond to a somewhat moist surface and would also bond to a super-hard finish. Hope this information helps you on your decision making process.

Yes, if you dilute it down to the correct percentage (0.12% is common for dental use, although one product uses 0.5%). It may stain your teeth, though, as some chlorhexidine mouthwashes do; to reduce chances of staining, brush teeth thoroughly before using the mouthwash. The chlorhexidine gluconate is not bitter and does not sting my (unusually sensitive) eyes [was using it on itchy scalp and got it in my eyes]. May have some perfume in it, my gallons (from Vedco) do, but not that big a deal. Good Luck!

When used in normal moderation, this product should not be a problem. I have used the True citrus products for quite some time and I have never had any tooth enamel problems nor any cavities. Its a great, natural product that is a safer alternative than the chemicals used in soda, which through the years have shown to cause tooth decay.

It does lessen coffee and tea stains from teeth. Not a miracle worker, but a nice toothpaste. Remember to use it on a dry brush for best results. I combine with optic white rinse.

i'm not too sure about putting this on a veneer. ask the company directly - they were very helpful with me. i used arm-r-seal that had a driftwood stain. i would think, if it comes in a clear, why not try it. i love,love this product. i have spilled wine, put hot plates on it and so far, it's still durable - no scratches, no stains.

I'm not a dentist, but I've tried other teeth whiteners that seem a lot stronger than this & haven't damaged my teeth. To be honest I won't buy it again because i don't see any difference with it - sorry

No... it does not cause any staining.. unlike the Crest which actually stated on the back of the bottle that it could cause browning of the teeth... like it did on my dad's teeth.. I switched to BreathRx because my dentist uses it for his patients and I've been very satisfied.

I'm not 100% sure. But my guess is since it's a strong peroxide it would penetrate stains. I would ask your dentist. But this is what they use so I couldn't imagine it not eliminating stains. I don't have any so not sure.

I have the Invisalign retainers. When they stain I have found I need to use the Invisalign crystals several days in a row (available from your dentist). If you do not have Invisalign, my recommendation would be to ask your dentist what would work best for your mouthguard. In my experience the Retainer Brite is great to keep retainers "fresh", but they do not really work very well for removing stains. Hope this helps.
