QUICK way to whiten teeth without having to buy anything?

Prom coming up next month, and I need to considerably whiten but can't buy the products.
--------------------
1.Make sure you brush and floss every day. 2. Stop drinking or limit drinking coffee, tea, and cokes. If you do drink, follow with water. Drink alot of water to keep your mouth rinsed. 3. Limit any staining foods, tomato sauce, etc. Rinse with water again. 4. To try to remove stains from your teeth, you can use a paste of baking soda, salt (your mom should have these in the house) and the tiniest bit(I mean tiny) of hydrogen peroxide (if you do not have this in your house, it costs $0.60- $0.99 at the drugstore. Look in the bandaid aisle.) Brush your teeth with the paste GENTLY! (it will not taste great) and then rinse with water, and brush with the toothpaste. You can eliminate the hydrogen peroxide if you want. Hope that helps!

ever since i started to use this whitening crest mouth wash i feel like my teeth r more sensitive...?

why is this? and is there a way that i could whitten my teeth without ruining the enamel on them? like would brushing with floride tooth paste help?
--------------------
Just as everyone else is saying, the inner layer of your teeth below the enamel is called dentin and is made of hundreds of thousands of tubules and the peroxide affects this area of your teeth to make them more sensitive. There are several options to decrease the sensitivity. 1) Don't use the mouthwash as frequent (alternate with a non-whitening rinse) 2) use a toothpaste with fluoride in it (Sensodyne is best) and if you leave the paste in at night while sleeping (don't rinse) it'll work even better 3) take ibuprofen or other pain medication while using it... (I wouldn't do this though, it's just recommended while using bleaching trays or strips) Personally, I'd use a store bought whitening system like Crest Whitestrips or any other brand and just deal with the pain for 2 weeks than using the mouth rinse and having the pain for as long as you use it Don't worry, you're not ruining the enamel on your teeth either... whitening works because the peroxide acts as an "oxidizer" and just lifts the stains from the enamel layer of your teeth (kind of like detergent lifting stains from your shirts) and the enamel is left unharmed

How do I whiten my coffee-stained teeth?

I had just begun drinking coffee, and have been drinking it everyday for about a month, but now my teeth are yellow. Is there a way to whiten my teeth...fast?
--------------------
There are a lot of home whitening kits that you can buy. The fastest i know of is Rembrandt 2-hour whitening. Otherwise, you can get 1 hour whitening in a dental office.

how do i naturally whiten my teeth?

my teeth are kinda yellow and gross. i don't want to use any whitening strips or gel and no dentist!
--------------------
To get really bright teeth you have to use a gel or trays that contain a bleaching agent. Natural only methods including oil pulling - swirling sesame or olive oil for a few minutes each morning for 5 minutes and then spitting the oil out. Many people have experienced whiter teeth and improved gum health. Just google oil pulling and you can read for yourself. It sounds crazy but it does work. Other natural ways are baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. The baking soda removes stains, and the hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid with oxidizing properties which acts like a bleaching agent. Some people use strawberries and other fruit- but this is not to be recommended because the acid eats away at the enamel. Finally, people have reported good success with teeth soap for keeping teeth white and clean. Most toothpaste contains glycerin which coats the teeth and prevents re-minerilsation of the enamel. Keeping the tooth surface squeaky clean with soap removes this coating, allows the tooth to re-mineralize and may help whiten the teeth.

Would my teeth become whiter if I used a sundbed at the same time as using Crest Whitestrips?

I know that dentists use UV light in the whitening process and I have a product called Britey Whitez by Fiesta Sun that is used to whiten your teeth as you tan and is activated by the UV light, I wondered if the whitestrips would have the same affect as they have more whhtening ingredient than Britey Whitez!
--------------------
No, the UV light wouldn't be intense enough, nor would it be specific in its projection,ie it wouldn't be concentrated only on your teeth . Maybe when your skin was browner your teeth would look whiter! Not recommending sunbeds though..they are not good for the skin. I'm very surprised someone above advocated this And called themselves a dentist AND doctor!!

Anyone know good ways to whiten teeth?

Anyone know any good affordable products or home remedies that work ?
--------------------
use baking soda infact arm and hammer has a great tooth paste and it whitened my teeth.you could also use crest whitening strips but not too often because it weekens your teeth. and i know this sounds super gross but you should try brushing your teeth with dove soep.it really works after a few weeks you could even look it up it does work.but use that for only your teeth then wash your mouth with toothpaste afterward like you would noramaly do.for some reason the soep gets rid of plaqe better than a toothbrush. also never use salt it eats away at your enamle and drinks .also if you ask this question on google you ind a lot of answers from other peoples yahoo's,you might find my answers are all the same for whitening.oh and too much coffe really is hard on your teeth. in pharmacys they cell these weird mini tooth brushes for people who are on the go.whenever you are done drinking coffi you can brush your teeth with it.good luck

Does bicarbonate of soda really whiten your teeth?

I think thats what its called anyway. Yes does this whiten your teeth? If so is it bad for them and can you use it even if you have braces without causing harm. Thankyou!!!
--------------------
Using baking soda is good for your teeth and overall mouth hygiene. I have asked a dentist this question before and he has confirmed it. Baking soda is also good for your gums and kills the bad bacteria. Helps if you have bad breath too. I used it a few times and liked the results. But you need to use it more often to see good results.

Should i whiten my teeth if i still drink coffee?

yeah so my teeth are kinda yellowish....and im guessing its cuz i drink coffee every morning so i was wondering if i used those ktis to whiten my teeth would it still work if i still drank coffee or would the stains just come back quickly? also if i should whiten them, please tell me the type of kits that work well and dont hurt your enamel...ty i will not stop drinking coffee....i just wanna know if the kit will work or not if i continue drinking it..
--------------------
so how many years have you been drinking coffee? Well just look at it like this it took that many years for your teeth to get stained. It will probably take just as many years for them to stain again. whiten them and just touch up when needed.

What's the best way to whiten my teeth?

I am looking to get my teeth whitened...but I'm definitely going to have to do it at home because I'm on a budget. I've never done this before, and I'm only doing it because my wedding is in three weeks. So, the questions I have: 1. Best brand 2. Best method 3. When should I start? 4. Does it hurt? Thanks so much!!
--------------------
:) Hello!! I think you're smart for doing it at home, you can get really great results!! 1.) Best brand - I liked Crest whitestrips, and also Go Smile...I got the whitestrips at the store (Target, Walgreens, Walmart..etc) I bought the Go Smile kit on Ebay...Go smile is a little more pricey, but its wonderful, and easy! 2.) Any of the at home whitening kits anymore are strips - they have new trays that Ive wanted to try -Aquafresh white trays...but The strips are great and soo easy! 3.) You should start whenever you want! It will take about 2 weeks to get the full results...so :) start soon. 4.) It does not hurt at all - the only thing that hurt was the white strips a little - like, try not to get them on your gums that much, cuz the chemicals they use in the white strips can burn your gums a little, and it doesnt hurt bad, its just more annoying, if you get a little burn it will go away in a day...over all its totally worth it!! Good luck :) you'll love your new smile!!

Easy way to whiten teeth at home?

Can anyone tell me an efficient way I can use things around the house to whiten my teeth? I just don't want to have to go out and buy strips or anything, and I heard that if u mix baking soda or something it works? Thanks!
--------------------
I've tried the baking soda/peroxide at home remedies. Did not work. I actually found a product that you can at least try for free so you don't have to spend the money unless it works for you. Might be worth giving it a try for free. http://www.white-teeth-by-this-weekend.com

Where can I get my teeth whitened in Limerick?

Im looking for a reputable place, with really good results,ive been planning this for ages, and finally have the money.Anywhere in the city/county.
--------------------
Hun, I'd get it done with a proper dentist. Don't be swayed by those "clinics" advertising laser whitening teeth, it's a half assed job, from what I've been told by those who have had it done. A proper professional dentist will do a proper professional job, including giving your teeth a thorough clean which will maintain them for longer. Also they sell teeth whitening sticks in Boots for around €20, they will help afterwards. my dentist, Denis Kirrsk based on O'Connell Street. I can email you his number and you can enquire and give them a ring. Do it properly!

Whitening my Teeth; please help !?

I just wanted to know; when I put 2 listerine whitening strips on my teeth (1 for top teeth 1 for bottom teeth), am I supposed to swallow what melts? Because when I leave it there, the wetness of my mouth usually makes it melt and then I'm basically forced to swallow it. Or am I supposed to like keep my mouth dry?
--------------------
Well I would just try to keep my mouth as dry as possible before putting them on since your spit is what wears the strips down after a while, which is why you take them off since they don't work anymore. But it should be fine to swallow a little.

Do whitening drops ruin your tooth enamel?

I want my teeth a tiny bit whiter but I heard somewhere that whitening drops ruin your tooth enamel, is this true? Are there any whitening drops you recommend that are available in drug stores in England? I don't want anything too drastic, no denist treatments or anything. Btw, its just subtle whitening- not like Simon Cowell !! Thanks!
--------------------
I personally haven't had any problems with teeth whitening and my tooth enamel. What worked the best for me was this mail order stuff from teethwhiten.com, it worked pretty well. They had a free sample offer so you can try it out and see how it works for yourself. I believe they ship almost anywhere in the world and I wouldn't think England would be a problem. Anyway, I added the link I had used to get the whitening stuff. Best of Luck!
