Does anyone know of some cheap options to whiten your teeth?
--------------------
There are a lot of cheap "home remedy" type options for whitening your teeth, but I wouldn't recommend them - I'd go for a proper teeth whitening kit. Some people recommend lemon juice, which does whiten the teeth somewhat but does it by leeching calcium from the teeth, which makes them susceptible to decay. Brushing with baking soda is another home remedy, but even though it can whiten teeth, it's very abrasive and can remove so much enamel that your teeth will be permanently damaged. Hydrogen peroxide will work, but the problem with that is that it can alter the bacterial flora in the mouth and leave it vulnerable to infection. As for the whitening toothpaste, forget it - it can remove stains, but there's no way toothpaste can whiten yellow-colored enamel. I'd recommend getting a proper whitening kit or seeing a dentist, although they tend to be expensive. P.S. I found a free teeth whitening kit here: http://freehealthsecrets.com/Teeth-Whitening.html
