Brush\n\n\nThat is about it.  The old wives tales about lemon juice and salt will just damage your teeth, and the one about peroxide is not completely true either, as I have soaked an extracted tooth in that to remove the blood and tissue and it took soaking it for about 24 hours for the tooth to get white. So unless you plan on holding peroxide in your mouth for 24 hours, which I don't recommend, that isn't going to work well to whiten.\n\nCrest whitestrips are not that expensive and they do work.  Don't try those old wives tales.

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!

Just from personal experience, Crest Whitestrips are great. They make your teeth a little sensitive, though.

you can go to the grocery store and find them, or in magazines they offer gaurds that cost around 60-70$ this one actually will mold to you teeth, like a do it yourself type thing. my friend bought this one and it lasted her about 6 months, but she grindes her teeth really bad. hope I helped you. oh in the store they are usually by the toothpaste and hygiene products

The best way is to use a combination of techniques.  Crest Preminum Plus whitening strips work good, but can cause sensitivity.  Dentists use hydrogen peroxide gel to bleach teeth.  Toothpastes with hydrogen peroxide will aid in making your teeth shine.  My recommendation is to use Arm & Hammer whitening toothpaste, Listerine whitening mouthwash with Crest Premium Plus strips during the day and Crest Night Effects at night to make your teeth shine their best.

The only way to get your teeth super white is by bleaching or veneers. Whitestrips do not wear tooth enamel away. I'm a licenced dental hygienist and I use them all of the time. They do cause sensitivity though but it goes away. That is the cheapest route. The next step up is bleaching trays and in office whitening which is expensive and not worth the cost for the instant gratification. Whatever you do do not go crazy with whitening toothpaste.  This really does wear down enamel over time, esp. if you are scrubbing because you don't like the tooth color. All that makes toothpaste"whitening" is just abrasive stuff. Then you scrub off the enamel to expose the dentin which is naturally yellow in color. Sorry to ramble but I see this every day.

I use the Crest Premium Whitestrips and my mom noticed my teeth were whiter after only 4 days use (I don't live with her, I just visited after 4 days use.)  My dental hygenist noticed after I used the week's worth and it was about 3 months later.  I also use Aquafresh Extreme Whitening toothpaste, I don't think it helps much, but piece of mind.  Just as an FYI - I drink about 5 cups of coffee every week also and that doesn't help them stay white.

I think the effects of the whitening toothpastes are very, very marginal.\n\nBetter to focus on the main purposes of toothpaste.\n\nIn that respect I personally think Colgate Total is the best of all.  If I cannot find it, I will use Aquafresh, the striped one.\n\nI believe you can get a variety of Colgate Total called Colgate Total plus Whitening.  So there you are.\n\nDon't get too carried away with whitening, many people have severely injured their gums that way.\n\nBetter to see a dentist for more help in that area.  There are veneers for older people, but rather expensive.

Hi, \n\nThe only way you will be able to whiten your teeth properly is to have them bleached professionally at a dentist. The stuff sold in the shops does not contain enough peroxide (the active ingredient) to remove anything but a little suface staining.You need to have at least 10% peroxide and this strength is only legally available to dentists in the UK . \n\n Bleaching, when done properly does NOT damage the enamel of the teeth, any sensitivity is usually only temporary and can usually be overcome by using a Sensitive toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash.\n\nI have had quite a few patients have it done, men and women of all ages (mostly over 40 surprisingly) and we have had some really good results.\n\nTo do home bleaching supervised by a dentist costs around £350 but gets fantastic results. You wear two bleaching trays for a couple of hours a night for approx 2 wks depending on lightening needed.\n\nYou can also have speed whitening done at the dentist in 1 hour and at around £650, but beware, if your teeth are not isolated properly this can make your teeth and gums very sensitive! better to do it gradually over a couple of weeks when you get the same results anyway. The laser light does not really do anything anyway, it just makes you think you are getting value for money !\n\nIf it is just surface staining I advise my patients to use a toothpaste containing Bicarbonate of soda and and electric toothbrush (you can get them as cheap as £12 now) this can work wonders too. Also a visit to a Dental Hygienist for a professional scale and polish can make a big difference .\n\nHope this helps

How about $6 for very white teeth?  I have used "Dr. George's Dental White", and people actually ask me about my teeth and how I did it.\n\nI recommend just buying the "refill" and swishing it around in your mouth for 15 min every few days.  I do it while I'm in the shower.\n\nYou can buy the product in some drugstores or here:\n\nhttp://www.drgeorges.com/buy-teeth-whitening-online.asp

you can mix peroxide and household baking soda and brush your teeth with it and it will whiten your teeth...cheaper than the products and just as good as what you see on t.v. it dont tast good but it works...oh it does not whiten your gums either...

I'm a dentist.\n\nGenerally, dentists and hygienists recommend electric brushes to patients specifically because they are more gentle on the teeth and gums.\n\nSonicare is an excellent toothbrush.  I use it myself and recommend it to my patients (whenever I talk about toothbrushes, that is).  Oral-B has a longstanding history of making dental products, and it is very unlikely that they would manufacture a product that wasn't similarly gentle to the gums.  You may have been using it wrong.\n\nIn either case, as long as you're happy with the Sonicare, stick with it.

Rembrant PLUS.  Whitens, not too minty, not too foamy (up till now I've hated ALL toothpastes because of all the foam), full of hyrogen peroxide so it cleans completely and bubbles clean between your teeth.  A little pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

Hi, Crest white Strips will take the enamel(sp?) of of your teeth. The enamal protects your teeth. I recommend not to use them. It works beutifully, but here are some homemade methods that are great!\n\n1)It's not a myth...baking powder works like magic, I personally have used it. Baking soda is a natural bleach, so it actually can not do any harm for you!\n\n2)Have you tried hydrogen peroxide (Sp?). It too works great. If you mix them together on your toothbrush you will have a white smile. (It is recommend not to use the hydrogen poroxide more than 3 times a week)\n\nAnyways, give it a try...and I hope it helps! \n\nP.S. By the way many people use lemon juice. DO NOT use this. It is too citrusy for your teeth and can eat away at them. Good luck! :)

are you aware that your teeth can only get but so white. If your teeth are white already why waste $30- 40 on white strips. I found that  Colgate luminous and Colgate plus whiting advance(gel)works great and I live by them \n\nI use the Colgate plus whiting advance(gel)at night b4 bed and Colgate luminous in the morning .. And my smile always get its compliments... ;-D
