How to whiten my teeth?

How can I whiten my teeth without buying lots of expensive stuff or going to get it professionally done? Home-rememdies if possible I odn't want to put anything harmful on my teeth.
--------------------
After I brush my teeth; every morning, I rinse/swish my mouth with hydrogen peroxide and water. I fill the small cap of the hydrogen peroxide with HP, and fill the rest of my mouth; comfortably so you can still swish it around, with water. I've been asked by so many people how I keep my teeth so white. I learned this from my father when I was younger. Plus, the HP is wonderful for your gums!

Is phosphoric acid bad for your teeth?

Ok, so I've been reading about phosphoric acid after I found it on the list of ingredients on a teeth whitening product. Acid? Is that just eating away my teeth?? Isn't that the ingredient in Coke that makes it bad for your teeth? wikipedia says it is sometimes used to whiten teeth, but is it safe? by the way, the product is "5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel" by a company called Plus White (www.pluswhite.com) thanks in advance!
--------------------
phosphoric acid is very bad and it's active indredients on teeth whitening. In office 1 hr whitening such as Zoom or rembrant, etc... it contains approx. 36% or more home whitening contains any where from 12-20% depends on the product. It's not safe if you put 36% on the teeth for long time because it will "eat"away your enamel. Also it will burn your gum instantly. home whitening kit that contains 12-20% will burn your gum if you put it on for 1 minutes or more. That's why you shouldn't use such product on your own without dentist next to you. Why we use them? because concept of whitening is to etch and remove external stains on the enamel. over time, saliva will replenish and mineralize your tooth. If you do it too frequently, your teeth will be sensitive and you will forever damage your teeth. Only way to desensitize is to use stannous flouride (gelkem) prescribed by dentist. But i've seen some of my patients needing Rootcanal treatment due to overexcessive use of whitening product. All those crappy whitening gel when used correctly might give you a happy result once, but it not work several times. It will in other hand damage your teeth if you abuse it.

how do i get rid of yellow teeth?

Is there a natural solution for me to whiten my teeth instead of having to use abrasive methods?

I want to know any natural methods that actually work instead of having to use methods such as bleaching etc.
--------------------
The Herbal Body Book (A Natural Approach To Healthier Hair, Skin, and Nail) by Stephanie Tourles says that.... "strawberries have a slightly bleaching effect and help to rid the teeth of tea, coffee, and cigarette stains. A strawberry is much safer to use than lemon juice, which is too acidic." Her recipe for Strawberry Brightener Mash 1 medium-sized ripe strawberry. Dip your brush into the liquid and brush normally. From the Answerer: I must warn you that the seeds get stuck in your toothbrush, so you may want to have a separate brush just for the strawberry treatment. You would want to do this after regular brushing with toothpaste, of course. You can use thawed out berries that have been frozen, but make sure they do not have sugar in them. This is a tasty way to treat your teeth! ***This book has great recipes for natural facial steams, scrubs, toners, moisturizers, cleansers, masks, shampoos, etc. I got mine from Amazon for less than $4!!!

How get and maintain white teeth?

I've got a bit yellowish teeth,but I would like to get them white. I don't want anything that is expensive or anything that damages the enamel, I have considered crest white strips, but they only last UP TO a year.Can I whiten them and after that just keep them white by washing and flossing? Is it possible to get white teeth by washing with a whitening toothpaste, flossing and rinsing ? I'm not in a hurry. 10 points to best answer.
--------------------
lol strips only last up to a year because they are just bleach AND they ruin the enamel. What a rip off. Talk to your dentist and see what he has. Can be expensive though. So can gels. Anything that works great is never cheap. -MasterJ

what are some ways you can whiten your teeth?

like i don't want to get whitening strips or that bleaching done but i brush my teeth twice a day with this whitening toothpaste and i use Listerine twice a day so how do i get them whiter it is not like they are extremely yellow or anything but they are not white enough i think. Thanks
--------------------
Watch what you eat. Anything that'll stain a white napkin will stain your teeth. Avoid colas, dark juices, coffee. Otherwise, you are redarkening the teeth while the toothpaste is whitening only a little bit faster. The article below is very complete and tells you how to avoid staining, such as using a straw for colas.

How do you use Baking soda to whiten your teeth?

I need directions and stuff.
--------------------
Ok. This is what I do. I wet my toothbrush, and put a pea sized amount of toothpaste on it. Then, I get a metal spoon, and scoop some baking soda out of the box, and rub the toothbrush on the spoon, which in turn picks up the baking soda onto the brush and toothpaste. Then, I brush as I would regularly do. Hope this helps :)

How can I whiten my teeth?

My teeth are stained from my braces. I was allergic to the metal so my gums were really swollen for the three years they were on and now I have permanent stains. My teeth look terrible and I really want them white and unstained again. Is this possible? Thanks!
--------------------
I drink way too much coffee and started to get stressed out when they weren't as white anymore. I was going to go the dentist to have him do it but it was ridiculously expensive. So I looked for forever and I finally found a kit that's just like the one the dentist uses with the mold and injection. It works amazing and I'm glad I didn't have the dentist do it. I got it on sale too because they were having a trial where you get to try it for the cost of shipping for like 6 bucks here's the website. http://mywhiterteeth.info

How can I whiten my teeth naturally?

I heard that bleaching them strips a layer of enamel so how can I do it naturally?
--------------------
brush your teeth with arm and hammer baking soda, not the tooth paste with it in it, but the real stuff. i know its going to taste disgusting but it works. just do it once a day or once every 2 days but continue to do it until you notice a difference and are happy with the whiteness of your teeth

I usually make a paste out of baking soda and peroxide. it's not much of a paste, per say, but it goes on the toothbrush a bit better, in my opinion.

Can you use baking powder to whiten your teeth instead of baking soda?

I was searching the web and saw little to nothing about substituting baking powder for baking soda. I am also wondering what the difference is. :) Thanks for all answers.
--------------------
No, they are different things. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. It has a low PH and is mildly abrasive. Baking powder contains some sodium bicarbonate, but also contains things you don't want to brush your teeth with, such as cream of tartar (acidic). The best thing to use when brushing your teeth is called tooth paste, preferably with fluoride.

Is 35% Carbamide Peroxide strong & safe for to whiten teeth?

What do y'all think? Is 35% strong enough to whiten teeth? and safe too? Like the one in the teeth whitening pen applicators.. What about 44% Carbamide Peroxide? I've heard strips and over the counter products use very low carbamide peroxide concentrate. Thanks! http://hollywoodwhitepen.com
--------------------
It is what most dental offices are using to place in the custom made trays. It is very safe. The main side effect can be tooth sensitivity which can easily be reversed. good luck.

non-acidic whitening strips for teeth?

Hello guys, do you have some information about non-acidic whitening strips? I checked crest whitening strips but couldn't find the PH level. Do you know or have any recommandations?
--------------------
I'm not too sure abt it. However, there are many ways to whiten your teeth. Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth! For home remedies. Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month. Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening. Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth. Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains. If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here's something for you!

After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile.

What is the best toothpaste to get rid of stains on your teeth?

My toothpaste doesn't work well and I really want to whiten my teeth. Know of any good toothpastes???
--------------------
Are the stains intrinsic or extrinsic? Meaning are they outside the tooth or do they come from inside the tooth? If they are from the outside, you can use any toothpaste with a whitening agent. Those toothpastes are more abrasive and help remove stains pretty well. If they are stains from inside your tooth, nothing will remove the stains, not even professional bleaching systems. Only thing to do in that case is have your dentist make porelain or resin veneers for you.

What is the best way to whiten my teeth on a budget?

I can't afford to buy those Whitestrips or anything...is there a toothpaste that works almost as well?
--------------------
While Crest White Strips are the best, they are quite pricey. I usually brush my teeth with baking soda after brushing with tooth paste. Basic Arm and Hammer works just fine. It takes a little longer than the pricey stuff, but ti does work.
