Teeth whitening

[andybigbro]

Has anyone ever done this. I seen this thing a few "celebs" have been using and thought I'd try it out.

It's called coco white and its a coconut pulling oil. I'll let you know how it works out :laugh:

Louise from BB12 is using it

I use these strips which have loads of spelling mistakes in the instruction booklet. But, they actually work really well. You just wear them for 30 minutes a day, my teeth look really white now.

[Smithy]

omfg i have been trying to get cocowhite for about 4 weeks, they have "limited stock" at 1pm every day and anytime i try to get it, it's sold out straight away :fist:

i managed to place an order a couple of weeks ago and after 10 days of it not arriving, they emailed me saying my order had been cancelled because of stock issues :moorangu:

[LukeB]

never saw it before, how much is it?

[Smithy]

£19.99 iirc for a 14 day run of it

[Liam-]

Just signed up to be notified when it's back in stock :flutter:

I got some tonight, it said it becomes available at 8pm daily.

Do you think it won't come? :suspect:

[Smithy]

It might do seeing as the time has changed, people might not know, imma try and get it tomorrow

Ok good luck! :fc: have you signed up for the email notification?

[Smithy]

no, I'm usually online so i'll just be on for 8pm, does the email notification give any special thing? like email you at half 7 with a code or something?

Also how much was P&P for you bc for me it was like £12

[Jessica.]

I have never whitened my teeth, just old fashioned toothpaste does the trick for me, I would like to try it some time though, just to see what it's like.

I dunno I haven't signed up for the email, cause I just luckily went on today at 5 to 8 and waited.

It said postage was £3.99

So inn total it was £23.98

[DemolitionRed]

Does it make your teeth really clean or does it lighten them more than the natural tooth?

[LeatherTrumpet]

I am going to stick with typpex

[DemolitionRed]

Just read this http://authoritynutrition.com/oil-pulling-coconut-oil/ and it sounds like you can use any oil. They suggest sesame seed oil or plain old coconut oil. I'm going to give it a try.

Ohh that's interesting, I might give that a go too

[Jamesy]

I may go see if I can find some coconut oil in Tesco next time and try that. Sounds interesting, but I would rather try it with just oil from a store first, rather than paying £20 for cocowhite. According to Tesco's site you can buy it from £5 so that sounds far more appealing for a first try.

[Kizzy]

bicarb and lemon juice is good but you'd have to be careful as it could damage your enamel if you did it too often or for too long.
The normal pulling with coconut oil sounds safest.

[Josy]

You can whiten your teeth just by doing 'oil pulling' with normal organic coconut oil

Where is Zee to back me up on this, he's tried it..

Also seen some AP 24 toothpaste getting raved about lately but when I checked online there was mixed reviews.

[Smithy]

right i got through and managed to place an order lets see if this one works :nono:

It days mine has been dispatched and is due on Monday :D

[Vicky.]

Ooh post results please. Before and afters..in mod thread if not wanting to on here :p

If this works, I think I will try it. My teeth are completely white bar the front ones that could do with some work, but its either smoking or endless cups of tea thats knacked them so not sure if its reversible or not. I actually blame the tea tbh, as I have smoked since 15 and never ever had a problem with my teeth, then when skye was born I got addicted to tea (have about 7 cups a day) and thats when it started. Its not massively noticeable but it always stands out to me

[Marsh.]

I'd be scared of this type of stuff making my teeth fall out. :worry:

[Marsh.]

No wonder Louise is brain dead, all of the chemicals she uses.

This is chemical free :hmph:

I'm not sure I'd put anything in my mouth endorsed by someone who gets turned on by fecal matter. :suspect:

[Josy]

Just had another look at the price of this and theres no way I would pay that for it tbh, you can buy a massive tub of decent coconut oil for that to use for oil pulling and you can use it for thousands of other things along with that (which I have posted about a lot in the past so wont get into it lol)

[Smithy]

It days mine has been dispatched and is due on Monday :D

Mine hasn't been dispatched so I'm guessing the same thing that happened to me last time has happened again :bored:

Where do you buy that? In normal supermarkets?

[Josy]

No, well some may do it but it will be refined, you get the unrefined online or from a health food.

[Josy]

This is one I get Nimah

Ordered! Thanks Josy :love:

[Marsh.]

Does Josy get a cut of the profits from coconut oil? :think:

[Niamh.]

My coconut oil arrived today, I'm going to try this and see if it works

[Livia]

I get bleach from my hygienist, it's very mild and I use it about twice a year. She made a cast of my teeth and I got a kind of gumsheild... you put a tiny amount of bleach in it and sleep in it for a week or so. It works brilliantly. It cost about £250 and you just replace the bleach when you need to... although I'm quite stingy with it.

[Smithy]

I tried the cocowhite last night and bc I have a cold I couldn't really taste it but the texture was a bit grim

[andybigbro]

Niamh how does the oil taste?

[Niamh.]

Doing it right now, it's pretty gross especially at the start when you have to chew it

[Smithy]

You should just pop a chunk in your mouth and wait for it to melt :joker:

[Josy]

Doing it right now, it's pretty gross especially at the start when you have to chew it

I don't chew it, it melts in a really short time.

[Jamesy]

I've been doing it for three days and yeah, the texture of it at the start is disgusting. When it has melted it's fine to have in the mouth, doesn't feel much different to having water or mouthwash.

[Josy]

Just remember NOT to swallow the oil and spit it into the bin or you could block your sink.

[Jay.]

I'm going to try ordering some soon, I've been trying the past couple of days but kept forgetting about it.

[Jay.]

Expect a photo like this to be posted when it arrives

Oh Damn it I spat it into the sink this morning :/

[Niamh.]

Also about half way through I got a tickle in my throat and I needed to cough so badly, it's horrific but I made it through :'(

[andybigbro]

I've swallowed the oil a bit by mistake and spat it I the sink :worry:

[andybigbro]

How long does everyone swirl for?

[Niamh.]

I've swallowed the oil a bit by mistake and spat it I the sink :worry:

I totally forgot about not spitting it in the sink, Gav will kill me if I block it :worry:

[Niamh.]

How long does everyone swirl for?

I did it for 15mins

[andybigbro]

I did it for 15mins

I've been doing it for 5 mins because I cba doing it for 15 :worry:

[Niamh.]

I've been doing it for 5 mins because I cba doing it for 15 :worry:

My teeth will 66.666666666% whiter than yours

[andybigbro]

My teeth will 66.666666666% whiter than yours

:laugh:

Well you put in more effort so what can I say :laugh:

[Smithy]

I spit mine in the sink with the water running :worry; I'll just turn the hot tap on so it stays melted when I spit

[Jay.]

Just bought some :clap1:

[DemolitionRed]

Yesterday I met up with a friend who has just had that new teeth whitening procedure. Her teeth are now so white that it looks like she's got false teeth. She's really pleased with them and of course, I have enough tact not to tell her she looked like she was wearing dentures.

IMO whiter than white teeth do not look real.

What do you think about this new 'Hollywood smile'?

[Niamh.]

Yeah not a fan of the fake smile at all tbh. I have been doing that coconut oil pulling though to make them a little whiter :laugh:

[Smithy]

I've been doing it for 15 mins a night before I brush my teeth and I've noticed and improvement, I'm really happy :flutter:

[Niamh.]

Yeah, I've been doing it for 15 minutes in the morning and I notice an improvement as well

[Josy]

Coconut Oil 1 Haters 0 :hehe:

[Niamh.]

Coconut Oil 1 Haters 0 :hehe:

:laugh:

It's less yuck now the more I get used to it, waiting for it to melt at the start is still the worst part though

[DemolitionRed]

I've been doing the oil pull as well but I'm using sesame oil. Definitely noticing a difference

[Jay.]

I've been using cocowhite the past 3 days and they are whiter already :lovedup:

[Kizzy]

That's an omega 6 oil I was told to use a 3 or coconut :conf:

[Niamh.]

The article that DR posted on the first page says you can use a Sesame or Sunflower Oil but Coconut Oil is better, this section here :

I Personally Prefer Coconut Oil

Traditionally, the Indians used other oils such as sesame oil or sunflower oil.

Oil pulling should work with pretty much any oil you choose, but I prefer coconut oil because it has many health benefits.

The Lauric Acid (one of the fatty acids in coconut oil) is also proven to be antimicrobial… it can kill bacteria, viruses and fungi (1, 2).

The taste of coconut oil is also fairly pleasant compared to other oils. I found it rather disgusting at first having my mouth full of oil, but I got used to it after a few days.

[Kizzy]

Ah right, I think it was cooking oils I'm thinking of it was said it's bet to use 3s rather than 6s :)

[Jessica.]

I was gonna buy some coconut oil for my hair, I think I'll try this too. :O

[Jason.]

My teeth have become slightly yellow over the last few weeks, and I want them white again.

In regards to oil pulling, does it work?
And would this coconut oil be okay to use for oil pulling?

It worked for me, it's not as quick and effective as other teeth whitening options out there but other teeth whitening kits hurt my teeth where as oil pulling is painless. It's apparently good for skin and overall health too.

Coco White is just Coconut Oil mixed with a mint flavouring to make it taste less yucky, so I'd imagine that one you linked would be fine. Although i'd rather pay the £20 for Coco White because it comes in sachets and doesn't taste bad.

[arista]

I am going to stick with typpex


No the taste is toxic

[hannah.]

I have some whitening strips from boots but you're meant to do them twice a day and I generally do it for 2 days in a row then forget/cba.
I have an electric toothbrush though which helps, and oral b expert whitening toothpaste is AMAZING, it's gritty so it gets all the stains off. I won't use anything else now

[Jords]

Id like my teeth to be whiter but not too white that they look unnatural. If ya get me?

[Will.]

my mums had it, along with a few other things :hehe:

[andybigbro]

I want to try something like this again, not sure which product to use though :think:
