Electric toothbrushes are great.  I love the oral-b pulsar.  It is like a regular toothbrush, but has the added benefit of movement.  It is compact in size and design and does not cost and arm and a leg.  It is about six dollars in any drug or grocery store.  Every dental professional has an opinion about what toothbrush they think is best and works well.  I say as long as it is a SOFT brush, then it really does not matter what type you use as long as you are brushing the right way and taking enough time (2 minutes) brushing.  Also you have to floss everyday, brushing alone does not do it.

Recent studies indicate the results are not superior to take-home bleach trays. Cost of Zoom vs take home is double or more.\n\nIf you need instant results, the cost difference might be worth it to you. If you can wear the trays each night for a week or so, you'll get the same results.\n\nIf you decide on Zoom, be prepared for sensitivity after treatment from mild to severe. Ask the provider for a prescription fluoride to use ahead of time if your teeth tend to be sensitive - this will help a great deal.\n\nEdited to add: I've just been reading on a dental discussion board about Zoom 2. The overall opinion - less sensitivity, but results are disappointing. Several dentists were trying to sell theirs. Almost all agreed - the light does NOTHING to accelerate the bleaching process, it's there to give patients something to distract them. If interested, I can post the actual studies which prove tis.

I use Rely-X Unicem, but what is your question?\n\nPlease tell me what country you are from.\n\nWe get a lot of dental students from the Third World asking the most basic questions here, sometimes saying, "I am a dental student, but they do not have the resources to teach us about this information."\n\nIsn't it wonderful that so many Americans want to travel abroad to have these people give them reduced-cost dental care?

in my opinion, braun is the best, with norelco and remington running close behind.  I own a norelco and its fantastic, and a bit cheaper than the braun.

Crest white strips professional or premium.. . their a little expensive but work very well and the whiteness lasts. YOu can get the highest potency from your dentist and other levels straight from the drug store

The more expensive the product, the better it is going to be.  So, starting with the cheapest, is brushing twice a day and flossing.  The cleaner your teeth are, the whiter they are going to be.  Stay away from coffee, tea, and red wine.  Then there's whitening toothpastes, floss, and rinses.  These will give results, but not as much as whitening stips or gels.  I know a lot of people who have been satisfied with Crest Whitening Strips.  Just be careful using whitening products, because they can cause sensitivity.  So, if you already have sensitive teeth, be aware.  Many electric toothbrushes claim to make teeth whiter.  I use the Sonicare brush, and I can tell a difference.  But it's not a dramatic difference.  I notice it, but I don't know if others do.  I know the Crest Spin Brush has one with brusheads that claim to whiten teeth.  If you're looking for a real big difference in shades, then you may want to try the strips.  It seems to be the biggest improvement for the cheapest.

Parsley- that's the best thing beside brushing and mouthwash. I've heard some people say chewing a piece of paper napkin works, but I've never tried it. I like Freshmint gum by Trident.

Use Crest Whitestrips!!! I have been using them yearly since they came out a few years ago... They have turned my teeth from almost the worst color yellow they can get (due to very bad dental hygene when I was younger) to the bright white like most models on the commercials...and they are only $20...that is sooo cheap for waht they can do for someones confidence!!! I have been getting compliments ever since I had gone through just half of a box!!!.......oh and if u do buy them make sure you buy the original ones in the cheap box...all of the other kinds Crest has out do the exact same thing (not one is better than the other!) the reason I say to buy the original ones is because they are the cheapest!!!

Actually there are several "dentist and hygienist" approved methods of tooth brushing.  We teach our patients the different methods based on their individual needs.  The easiest one is where you use small circular strokes covering all of the tooth surfaces as well as massaging the gum tissue.  You ALWAYS want to use a soft toothbrush.  As the harder ones are bad for your enamel and gums.  Electric toothbrushes are great, they allow you to be lazy, put the brush to your tooth and it does most of the work all you have to do is move it in your mouth. Make sure you floss everyday this is just as important as brushing your teeth as floss can reach the areas where your brush can't.

crest whitestrips, as mentioned, are great. BUT the equate version of whitestrips works EXACTLY the same, but are much cheaper. Just be sure not to wear them (either brand) longer than the box says to, or else you will end up with VERY sensitive teeth.

You could try Euthymol, but I think you'd soon go back to liking mint flavour cos it tastes of TCP!!!! I bought a tube once, and I started dreading cleaning my teeth cos I hated it! But hey... everyone's different, you might like it. You can get it from most supermarkets.

Does an electric toothbrush really clean your teeth better than a manual toothbrush? Many dental experts say "no," maintaining that if you brush for two minutes at least twice a day, floss, and visit your dentist regularly, manual brushes and electric toothbrushes are equally effective. Some dentists note, however, that they've seen improvement in periodontal disease after patients started using an electric toothbrush. \n\nThe best reviews compare electric toothbrushes not only with other electric brushes, but also with manual brushing. Consumer Reports magazine does the best electric toothbrush testing in the U.S., enlisting testers who normally brush manually. Although not all tested toothbrushes are available in the U.S., Australia's Choice Magazine and England's Which? Magazine also compare electric toothbrushes with a test methodology equal to that of Consumer Reports. We found more scientific data at the Web site of the American Dental Association and The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.\n\nThe problem with any kind of toothbrush is that most of us just aren't very dentally self-disciplined. A number of articles we came across in our research say that most Americans brush for only 30 to 60 seconds, which is half the time recommended by dentists, and not nearly long enough to enable the fluoride in toothpaste to work properly. Reviews say the best electric toothbrushes come with a two-minute timer and are able to reach hard-to-clean areas better than most of us tend to do with a manual brush, making them a worthy addition to your collection of dental-hygiene products.

the best way to brush your teeth:\n- place the tooth brush at 45 degree on the cirvical potion of your tooth (touching both the tooth & gingiva)\n-roll the tooth brush to the coronal direction in a sweep move\n-repeat this step 10 times/tooth surface\n     * this is for cleaning facial & lingual surfaces of the tooth, for\nocclusal surface:\n-the tooth brush perpindiular to the tooth & in circular motion\n    *interproximal cleaning: you should use dental floss & tooth peaks\n  , for the later use the one with triangular cross section rather than circular\n   "this was a simple but reliable method for brushing your teeth, & if you need further explaination for the techniques i can send you some illustrating pictures"\n   i hope this was a good help

Trust your instincts.  An insurance company is the last place you should ask for a recommendation for a new dentist.\n\nAsk co-workers or people at your church (or whatever) or even people you meet in stores.  After a while, you will start to hear the same name over and over again and this is a good place to try.\n~

Electronic toothbrushes get you teeth cleaner than the other, manual brushes.  You can actually find electric brushes for less than $20 at the grocery store or pharmacy.  Oral B makes electric brushes that you can find at the grocery store and they sell replacement heads and they work well.  As always, remember not to overbrush, you could damage or errode the protective enamel on your teeth.  When brushing with an electric toothbrush, you do not need to really "scrub" at your teeth because the brush moves the bristles for you.
