What is the best product to use when trying to whiten teeth?

Does the gum work? I'm looking for something that is kind of cheap.

Hi! Best and cheapest... You probably already have it in your kitchen... Baking Soda! But the taste is not the best although the results are! You can put a bit of toothpaste on your brush, dip it in a little baking soda and brush or if you would like quicker results, wet your brush and dip it in baking soda, you can always finish off with toothpaste to remove the taste. Baking soda is a light abrasive and polishes your teeth. It's not only cheap but it is also safe, much safer than all those commercial witheners out there! Good Luck! Marie J
