Yes it does actually! It's DISGUSTING but it helps a lot...I think I put it on my teeth for about 2 weeks, once a day. But only do your front teeth because it's so gross!

mix lemon juice and baking soda and brush your teeth with it,this really works after u have brushed your teeth with the mixture, brush with regular toothpaste do this 1-2 times a week and on the days that u do not brush with the mixture, sprinkle some salt onto your toothpaste

I did the baking soda peroxide, and yeah it isnt the best tasting stuff but i did see results, I reccomend doing the peroxide/baking soda first then use your regular toothpaste, it helps get the nasty taste out and leaves your mouth minty fresh!

Avoid thing that stain your teeth such as smoking and drinking dark beverages.  The best way to whiten your teeth is to see your dentist.

try this method. it's worked for me the past 2 years, and is super cheap!\n1. before you brush your teeth, swish with a 50% water & 50% hydrogen peroxide solution for 30 seconds.\n2. spit out 50/50 solution.  do not rinse mouth with water. \n3. brush with whitening toothpaste*\n\nthis will help keep stains at bay:-) \n\n*the toothpaste i like is Colgate Total Whitening (paste, not gel) \n\ngood luck!

I recommend you see your dentist if you wnat to whiten your teeth and yes, you will have good results.  The cost will vary depending on what part of the U.S. you live in.  I do not advise any whitening products available over-the-counter as there are none that are approved by the ADA (American Dental Association).  The only whitening products that have been approved by the ADA are available only at your dental office.

Don't worry about stupid ppl with their stupid answers (The first answer on here)!!  The best thing to gently whiten your teeth would be topol( a whitening toothpaste).  It works great for smokers, coffee drinkers, etc. and it is very gentle, i use it every day and my teeth are so much more whiter! Congratulations on your Graduation!!!!!

crest stips do work, but also baking soda..my mom use to tell me to do it, and i found out that it really made my teeth whiter..it will probably take alittle more time than the stips, but it will be like 22.00 dollars cheaper...

No, it will not change the shade of your teeth.  It may do a little better at removing some of the everyday stains caused by such things as smoking and drinking dark beverages but it will not 'whiten' your teeth.  Also, I wouldn't recommend using it because whitening toothpastes are very abravsive and could potentially cause damage to the enamel of the teeth.

I would not recommend using any of the whitening toothpastes as they are very abrasive and could potentially damage the enamel of the teeth.  As for Crest White Strips, they are not approved by the ADA (American Dental Association).  The only products approved by the ADA are available at your dentist which is where I suggest you go to whiten your teeth.

Try brushing you teeth with baking soda and perxoide

When I do this, I use mostly sodium bicarbonate and very little water (just enough to dissolve the baking soda). The point is that the acid is very damaging, so you want to make darn sure that you've neutralized it. The baking soda is not dangerous, so you don't worry if you use excess baking soda. \n\nWhen you're done, and have neutralized the acid, you rinse everything thoroughly with plain water.

6 of one... half dozen of the other.... but neither will actually 'whiten' your teeth.  They may work a little better at removing every day staining caused by such things as smoking and drinking dark beverages but they will not change the actual shade of your teeth.  Also, they are very abrasive and could potentially cause damage to your enamel.  I would not recommend using them.  See your dentist if you want to whiten your teeth.  The only whitening systems for home use that have been approved by the ADA are Colgate Platinum Daytime Professional Whitening System, Opalescence, and Nite White. All of which can only be obtained from your dentist.
