my husband uses baking soda and water. \n\nI use a little bleach water with a VERY SMALL amount of dish soap and then rinse it all very well. Bleach is the same thing in city water, it wont hurt you, and it doesnt taste so horribly bad after its been rinsed out, where as baking soda does.\n\nwe're never tried it but we've heard that denture cleaner can work too.

you can mix peroxide and household baking soda and brush your teeth with it and it will whiten your teeth...cheaper than the products and just as good as what you see on t.v. it dont tast good but it works...oh it does not whiten your gums either...

Hi, \n\nThe only way you will be able to whiten your teeth properly is to have them bleached professionally at a dentist. The stuff sold in the shops does not contain enough peroxide (the active ingredient) to remove anything but a little suface staining.You need to have at least 10% peroxide and this strength is only legally available to dentists in the UK . \n\n Bleaching, when done properly does NOT damage the enamel of the teeth, any sensitivity is usually only temporary and can usually be overcome by using a Sensitive toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash.\n\nI have had quite a few patients have it done, men and women of all ages (mostly over 40 surprisingly) and we have had some really good results.\n\nTo do home bleaching supervised by a dentist costs around £350 but gets fantastic results. You wear two bleaching trays for a couple of hours a night for approx 2 wks depending on lightening needed.\n\nYou can also have speed whitening done at the dentist in 1 hour and at around £650, but beware, if your teeth are not isolated properly this can make your teeth and gums very sensitive! better to do it gradually over a couple of weeks when you get the same results anyway. The laser light does not really do anything anyway, it just makes you think you are getting value for money !\n\nIf it is just surface staining I advise my patients to use a toothpaste containing Bicarbonate of soda and and electric toothbrush (you can get them as cheap as £12 now) this can work wonders too. Also a visit to a Dental Hygienist for a professional scale and polish can make a big difference .\n\nHope this helps

Sensodyne is the best for tooth sensitivity but all in all whitening toothpastes if you want your teeth whitened alot do not work as people think they will. Only laser bleaching or home bleach with trays will work the best. Whitening toothpastes will only do very minimal resultsand should be used after bleaching to maintian. Hope this helps.\n\nDental Asst.

Don't worry about stupid ppl with their stupid answers (The first answer on here)!!  The best thing to gently whiten your teeth would be topol( a whitening toothpaste).  It works great for smokers, coffee drinkers, etc. and it is very gentle, i use it every day and my teeth are so much more whiter! Congratulations on your Graduation!!!!!

Teeth loose their whiteness due to age,\ncavities and eatingfood like coffee,tea,\ncola which stain the teeth.Tobacoo and \nsome antibiotics also cause stains.\nCommercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen\nperoxide and are expensive and inconvenient.\nA cheap and natural tooth whitening home \nremedy uses few strawberries but certain \nprecautions have to be taken.I found the \ninformation at http://tinyurl.com/ep7yg

Homemade Teeth Whiteners\n\nWhitener / Cleanser - 1\nBaking soda, 1 teaspoon\nHydrogen peroxide, a few drops\nMix the two ingredients and use as a paste on your teeth and gums two times a week.\n\nTooth Whitener / Cleanser - 2\nBaking soda, 3 teaspoon\nTable salt, 1 teaspoon\nMix the two ingredients and use as a tooth powder.\n\nWarning\nYou should never use lemon/lime juice for teeth whitening. Chewable vitamin C tablets with or without sugar are acidic and are a hazard for not only children’s teeth but also to adult's teeth. Do not use lemon juice for whitening because vitamin C will cause the teeth to lose calcium, damaging teeth quicker than anything else.

Crest Whitestrips can make your teeth very sensitive and also they are not approved by the ADA (American Dental Association).  There are no products you can purchase over-the-counter that is approved by the ADA.  The best way to whiten your teeth is to see your dentist as they have the only whitening products that are approved by the ADA and also so they can monitor you through your treatment in the event any problems arise.  Also, whitening toothpastes do not change the shade of your teeth and are very abrasive and can cause potential damage to the enamel of the teeth.

Please ask your dentist before you try any home remedies, some may damage your teeth badly, and that could make them looking worse than where you're at now.  I personally do not recommend "Zoom" whitening or any 'in office' whitening treatments.  They do not last very long, are costly and could make your teeth very sensitive.  I do recommend over the counter products that contain 15% or less 'carbamide peroxide'. (hydrogen peroxide products are not very temperature stable, and so it is hard to tell whether they are damaged goods.)  \nOther than bleaching you teeth you could have bonding or veneers done.  Veneers are also high $$, but are very nice, and you could drastically improve your appearance.  Some veneers don't even involve drilling or numbing ("Lumineers").  I would ask your dentist what he suggests...

If you are wanting a low cost way of whitening your teeth try this 2-3 times a week....\n1st- brush your teeth with salt. moisten your toothbrush and put salt in your hand and dab your toothbrush into it. brush your teeth very well.\n2nd- get rid of any excess fluid in your mouth, but don't spit out the salt.\n3rd- gargle with hydrogen peroxide for about 1-2 min.\nLastly- after rinsing your toothbrush well, brush your teeth with regular toothpaste.\n\nA dentist gave me this tip and it really works!

The best way is to use a combination of techniques.  Crest Preminum Plus whitening strips work good, but can cause sensitivity.  Dentists use hydrogen peroxide gel to bleach teeth.  Toothpastes with hydrogen peroxide will aid in making your teeth shine.  My recommendation is to use Arm & Hammer whitening toothpaste, Listerine whitening mouthwash with Crest Premium Plus strips during the day and Crest Night Effects at night to make your teeth shine their best.
