what should get done 1st my chipped tooth fixed or teeth whiten?
i wanna white my teeth and fix my 2 chipped front teeth ……what should i do first?
Animal Luvr is right. Get the teeth to their whitest shade and then the dentist will color match the shade of the material to your new shade. The filling material will not whiten so if you place it and match the shade of your teeth before they are whitened, then when your teeth are whiter the material will be darker and stick out like a sore thumb..Also whitening strips work to some degree but will not be as good as if the dentist puts on his more powerful solution.
You should first get your teeth whitened because the adhesive or caps they will use to fix the chips come in different color tones. If you whiten afterwards they won’t match!

Didn’t your dentist tell you what would be best? I’d say fix the teeth first then whiten. Just in case afford to fix both teeth and the whiting once you get started. Dental work is expensive! That way you will have pretty teeth and can use a cheap home teeth bleaching kit. I’ve used Crest whiting strips in the past, and they worked wonders. I was always getting asked "how do you get your teeth so white" and I’d just say, I brush them twice a day.

I am a dentist
I suggest go to dentist to fix your front teeth, don’t try fixing by your self.
For whitening, you can try natural way with 1 ripe strawberry
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking soda until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking soda mix. Rinse. (A little floss will help get rid of any strawberry seeds.). You can apply once a week.
