Has anyone had their teeth bleached at the dentists , with the trays and whitening gel? Im doing this for the first time I dont have morg problems with my teeth but wonder if these treatments could really be great for people who do. Its a little unpleasant but nohing too horrible although some people have sensitivity and cant do i havent had a problem yet.

Yep. You'll love your teethies.
You know what works great too, if you want to save some bucks, is Plus White and it's from most stores, grocery and pharms carry it, and the dentists office I think you can buy Night Lights or Night White...something like that, I did that one too. But the "store" one, Plus White - in one week, just 5 min a day, whitens teeth like the dentist did mine, and the Plus White comes with the trays.
The Night Light/night white, whatever it is, the dentist makes a mold of your teeth for 400 bucks. And the other (Plus White with the trays) cost only 15 or 20 bucks.

Thanks for that info Toni, I've been wondering myself what the best otc products for that were. Between the Lyme, Morgs, smoking, tea and coffee, my teeth really do need help. Friski, my sister runs a dental office and sent me the professional trays and solution, but I never used them....could kick myself now. But a few years back I remember reading something about professional teeth whitening and how it was bad for me (or something I was connected with at the time). I can't remember if it was a med I was taking, the Lyme or other conditions I'd been diagnosed with, or what.......but I've searched and searched and for the life of me can't remember what the warning was about. Maybe it was about sensitive teeth??? I imagine what she sent me has dried up by now but I think I'll really do it this time. Let me know how you like it and what they used, then I'll see if what they use on you is the same as what she sends me. I'll let you be my guinea pig, with absolutely NO emphasis on that last word!

Its probably teeth sesitivity you were worried about. One girl at the dentists office says it hurts her gums alot and they will hurt for an entire day afterwards after shes done it. She still does it though! Me im a wimp and wouldnt hurt myself just to look better ;D I havent done the lowers yet and my dentist says I may have problems with my lowers......we shall see. Im doing about an hour a day and will be done in a week or so. The weird thing is he told me i could go out in public with them on and noone would know. I was ready to go food shopping and looked at my teeth and I was foaming at the mouth and hadd bubbles everywhere.......I looked like I was rabbid with rabbies ;D glad I checked first!! ;D

Makes your gums real sensitive. Am about due for it to be done again. Stay to busy, planes coming in ,like today. Didn't get to answer your post yesterday Tonie. Yes, they move around. In the chest area a lot. You got that right. Been to the pages you listed. My kid is going to Kuwait in September & the wife finally got all of this illness out of her hair. I hardly have time to breath lately, to many planes in my hands. Thanks for all the help, with good suggestions to use.

Hey Friskers I've done it way back when Ree was about two when it was just becoming a big fad. I got the molding of my teeth and everything and just like Patti...didn't take advantage of it. My kids Daddy had plenty of money at that time so I took a lot for granted. I'd be concerned for the chemicals that are in the whitening products and reaction with the metals in the mouth. That's the only reason why I don't us any now but don't have a problem with my teeth color, they're fine ::)the one's I got left :'(damn this disease! I think those things would big time kick the release of the metals from the filings and I think that'd be not good for you. I know you're already doing it and don't want you rollin' your eyes at me I just want you to know I love and would be concerned for you.

I am more worried at this pointt about keeping my teeth than whitening them....this has messed up my gums and teeth that were once perfect (or atleast that is what I was always told)!

Lymernick,
That was funny, the "dentist" part! hhaha and oh my, about your lumps moving too!
Friski,
And there's a paste stuff in a tube, the dentist will give you that sort of numbs the teeth and coats them, because the teeth can get very sensitive, mine did too, but it will be okay, and you'll be very happy too with the outcome.
Patti,
Yes, of all the "teeth whiteners" Crest, Rembrants, all of them...tried them all, the Plus White works wonders, and only 5 min a day, for one week, MAJOR difference. If you have real sensitive teeth, only do the tray that comes with it, for 3 min in the morning after your coffee, then 3 minutes in the eve. Breaking up the time that way, will ensure your teeth from becoming over sensitive too.

Oil Pulling is the answer for the rotting teeth, for whitening teeth, for pink gums, and for overall health.
NO DENTIST REQUIRED, therefore poor guy/girl won't possibly be contracting this disease while I sit in his chair!

..............3 min in the morning after your coffee............. Uh oh, that means I'll either be doing it several times a day, or by noon I'll have reversed any good it did for me.

Oh yes, one never wants to do the "teeth whiteners" and then drink tea or coffee in the same day afterwards, because applying the paste whitening gel, makes the teeth very porous (all of them do), and they will absorb the coloring of tea or coffee, so that's why it's best to drink the coffee first, then do the whitening afterwards.

Friski,
Did you have the dentist do it? Or did you do the Plus White?
And goodness, if your gums are red and swollen...yes, just wait until they are back to normal...or they will get more irritated.
Maybe too, the Morgellons is creating problems. I guess it's a play by ear thing, because Morgellons changes all "normal" ways of doing things. If you can tolerate plain white 'no flavored yogurt', that would be good for your gums I do believe, 'because I'm finding the Morgs' hate milk type products.
