I brush and floss daily, but my teeth are still yellowish. I can't afford to get my teeth whitened by a dentist and I don't want to use whitening strips because they haven't helped before. I need suggestions on what I can possibly use instead and how do use it. Thank you!
--------------------
Try using baking soda mixed with toothpaste. It worked for me. Also, if you smoke and drink dark colored beverages stop because it doesn't help.

best way to whiten teeth?
hey guys, im getting my braces off in a week and i wanted to get my teeth whitened at the dentist but i didnt realize how expensive it was! its like $500 and my mom wont pay for that... i was wondering if anyone knows the best way to whiten your teeth, either home made remedies or drug store whitening strips.. i have to pay for it myself so it cant be too expensive. anything helps! thank you :)
--------------------
this is the cheapest way to do it...go to the store and get some arm and hammer baking soda (or you might already have it!), put a good amount on your toothbrush, and scrub your teeth (not too hard) for 2 minutes. it will gradually whiten them. that is why in some toothpastes have baking soda in them. this way works for me...but if you don't want to do it, you could go buy some whitestrips which don't last too long and can weaken your enamel on your teeth which isnt good. good luck though hope i helped

Does anybody know a good way to whiten your teeth naturally?
I brush my teeth after every meal and never had a cavity. However, my coffee addiction seems to be staining my teeth a little.
--------------------
Indeed coffee will do that. Assuming you don't read other posts on this site...some people say strawberries are a natural way to brighten teeth. I could not find any scientific literature that would back this up. People where saying mush up strawberries and brush them onto your teeth. I am sure the bacteria on your teeth enjoyed this treatment enough to cause some cavities! There is no natural way to safely and effectively whiten your teeth. Other people would say use baking soda and peroxide. But again, these compounds have not been shown to do anything for your teeth. Only change the taste of certain toothpastes. Using Baking soda would be more abrasive than normal toothpaste and that just strips your teeth of their enamel. Hydrogen peroxide is hard on your gums. Hydrogen peroxide will whiten teeth if it is kept next to your teeth for extended periods of time. H202 kept near your gums for extended periods of time will really damage your gums.

What's the best whitening method and/or product to use?
What's the best to do? Go to my dentist and get it done for about $300 or use whitening strips? Or home methods like NovaWhite that costs $128? What have you used that's worked best? I have like three-four stained teeth I'd like whitened. Hopes that's not too much to ask, thanks guys! =]
--------------------
i think going to the dentist is usually the best way but very expensive...use crest whitestrips premium, they're almost the same results as going to the dentist but only cost $30-40. try these before trying more expensive things, they're worth a try.

How white can your teeth possibly be?
I'm from Asia, and my dentist said that people from that area generally have darker shade teeth than American people. Does anyone know if it's possible to whiten your teeth beyond your natural shade? Can anyone get those whiter than white teeth or does it depend on your natural teeth color? I'm not worried about the price right yet, I just want to know if it is at all possible. Thanks, everyone!
--------------------
When you go to a dentist for teeth whitening, one of the first things he would do will be to determine the existing color of your teeth, whether or not your teeth are capable of being whitened and how white your teeth may be bleached. Shade Management plays an important role for this. Hue, Chroma, and Value Hue - is the underlying color of existing teeth compared to color groupings of brown, yellow, grey and reddish-grey. Chroma - is the intensity of the underlying color Value - is the black/white value of a tooth's appearance, or how bright it appears to be. So the results of any teeth whitening procedure will depend on the existing undertone of your teeth. People with Yellow undertone have lesser degree of whitening as compared to those with brown undertone. Those with grey undertones are least likely to show any substantial progress of teeth whitening. See more information in the source link

wow, thats nasty. lol. Why don't you brush two times a day. Also i hear baking soda helps whiten your teeth. Why don't you apply it on your teeth. And also buy the whitening strips, and buy the whitening toothpaste. Also if you do smoke, stop. That will also help.

Why dose my Uncles Chain-smoking wife use whitening toothpaste and anti wrinkle cream?
My uncle and his new wife (NOT my aunt) were staying here 4 the weekend…she smokes non stop 2 packs a day, in a house where no one smokes…This pisses me off to no end, and she doesn't seem to think there is any problem lighting up in front of non smokers….But the thing that baffles me the most…she uses whitening tooth paste, even though her teeth are BLACK.. Dose this make sense to anyone else? She smokes 2 packs aday or more.
--------------------
No, it doesn't make sense. But at least it shows she cares SOMEWHAT about her appearance.

Baking soda is an option. In making a decision you should consider the level of discoloration of your teeth. Care must be exercised to prevent damage to the teeth enamel. You can read up on at-home methods here: http://the-dental-makeover.com/whiten-te…

do crest whitening strips really make your teeth whiter?
do they really work? how much are they? can i buy them at like a rite aid or harmon?
--------------------
No, they aren't that great. Try the Rembrandt ones, they work really fast and they stay on your teeth better than the Crest ones do. They cost a little more, but they are well worth it. You can buy them at places like Target, Walgreens, and Wal-Mart.

Is it healthy to whiten teeth with baking soda?
Any details about this would be very helpful! Thanks!

no! its not so good for your gums.... it is better to use natural options! for example this product - I do not know if any pharmacies carry it but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and if you want you can read more about the product here http://www.teethwhiten.com/splash.php?ai… before I had no idea that it is possible to whiten my teeth without surgically bleaching them. I tried this product for a few days and they got whiter & brighter so quick that I was shocked. The best thing about this teeth whitening product is that its so easy to use. It only takes me a few minutes twice a day for a few days and then there white for months. I suggest to try this product because at this moment they have Risk Free Trial - so they send you sample for free and you don't have to buy it!

There is no surgery that will straighten your teeth, as that is a slow process. There are whitening techniques.

been using hydrogen peroxide and baking soda for teeth whiten for 3 weeks but the are still yellow?
i have hydrogen peroxide that contin 6% i duilte it with equal water with baking soda i use it every day on day a time i mix the ingerdin and put it on my teeth for 1 minute i know that hydrogen peroxide is harmfull but i cant afford the dentist whitening i used crest white strips they didn't work so help
--------------------
I'm not so sure it is that simple...or everyone would be doing it that way. If the whitening strips don't work for you it could be your teeth. Some peoples teeth are actually yellow, gray or opague in color. If this is the case, whitening will not work. Whitening removes the stains from the surface of the tooth, so if a persons teeth are not white underneath of the stains the whitening agents will have no effect. They can only remove stains, not change the actual color of your teeth.

I want to get my teeth whitened?
Preferably in London. What procedures are available, and what would each cost? Can it be done on a 16 year old? My teeth are naturally not-so-white, I don't smoke or anything.

One popular tooth whitening product that you can use is bleaching solution that contains peroxide for bleaching tooth enamel. The bleaching agent in these products is usually carbamide peroxide, which is available in 10, 16 and 22 percent concentrations. Whiteners that contain peroxide typically come in gel form and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks while others are intended for overnight use for a 1 to 2 weeks period. If you can obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist, he will be able to construct a custom mouth guard to fit your teeth precisely. Currently, the American Dental Association endorses only dentist-dispensed home-use percent carbamide peroxide tray-applied gels. In addition to bleaching solution, whitening strips are increasingly being used as a preferred tooth whitening product. For instance, you are now able to get your hands on a set of Crest Whitestrips Supreme from any convenience store. The flexible, invisible strips are coated with an enamel-safe tooth bleaching gel. To whiten your teeth, you simply place the strips on your teeth and wear them for about 15 to 30 minutes each day. After a period of about 21 days, you should be able to see a significant difference on the brightness of your teeth.
