What is a safe and inexpensive way to get whiter teeth?

The more expensive the product, the better it is going to be.  So, starting with the cheapest, is brushing twice a day and flossing.  The cleaner your teeth are, the whiter they are going to be.  Stay away from coffee, tea, and red wine.  Then there's whitening toothpastes, floss, and rinses.  These will give results, but not as much as whitening stips or gels.  I know a lot of people who have been satisfied with Crest Whitening Strips.  Just be careful using whitening products, because they can cause sensitivity.  So, if you already have sensitive teeth, be aware.  Many electric toothbrushes claim to make teeth whiter.  I use the Sonicare brush, and I can tell a difference.  But it's not a dramatic difference.  I notice it, but I don't know if others do.  I know the Crest Spin Brush has one with brusheads that claim to whiten teeth.  If you're looking for a real big difference in shades, then you may want to try the strips.  It seems to be the biggest improvement for the cheapest.

Avoid pop, coffee or smoking which can all yellow/darken your teeth.  You can also try brushing your teeth after meals.  If you are out at a restaurant and you cannot brush right after a meal where you had pop or coffee, go to the restroom and swish some water around in your mouth and spit.  It is not exactly like brushing but will get some of the residue off your teeth.\nIn addition to that, use a whitening toothpaste, and if you want to spend a little more (25$ about) buy a whitening kit that you only have to do once a year or so.  Those are a little costly, but not compared to how much it would cost to  have your teeth professionally whitened.

Avoid peroxide!! IT causes breakdown of enamel and makes them more porous! USe once or twice but not more---slippery elm has been revered for hundreds of years for its tooth whitening abilities. You can brush with powder of slippery elm, but in the old days the old timers merely used a switch of slipppery elm (peel the bark off) and rubbed their teeth clean that way. Works like a charm, will not harm enamel!\n  Also, though I wouldnt recommend, some of these old timers would push chewing tobacco into their gums (bleah!) with these switches and it would indcue what they called "rushing".\n\n   If you use chewing tobacco Id say lose the habit, mouth cancer can be fatal.......

Try brushing with frozen strawberries (no i am not kidding).  Also use baking soda on your toothbrush, on your regular toothpaste at least once a day and give up coffee, teas and things that stain your teeth or brush immediately after or chew Trident whitening gum after.

You really can't whiten teeth with any type bleach that has been stained by tetracyclene, But... You can get porcelin veneers bonded to the teeth themselves that are of a white shade, and there is a cheaper way if you can get your dentist to do it, and that is getting Veneers done with a composite material,(instead of porcelin) which is the stuff they use to fill cavities with, a nice white shade, they may not last but  a few years, but the cost is like somewhere between $70-$100 per tooth could be less or more, but that is what i got 2 of my teeth done for,(it was free actually because i worked for the dentist,)but that is the fee he charged for his patients, alot of doctors don't want to do them, because... it is cheaper, and they don't last as long as veneers, But if you call around to different dentists, there should be one out there willing to do it,you need to be a little persistant with them and tell them this is what you want,and let them know you will take your chances on them not lasting as long as porcelin veneers, (I'VE HAD MINE FOR 10 YEARS NOW.)

Baking soda is great, then after rinsing well, put some hydrogen peroxide in your mouth for a few minutes at least one time a day, but DO NOT SWALLOW!  I was hesitant at first, but you can barely taste it. Not bad at all...

Hydrogen Peroxide and baking soda....form a paste and brush your teeth with it, do it for two weeks, and it will help.  P.S. If you drink coffee, then don't.

hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.  Peroxide is all that's in those teeth whiteners anyway.

Use Toothpaste. Seriously, no joke, toothpaste works.

How about $6 for very white teeth?  I have used "Dr. George's Dental White", and people actually ask me about my teeth and how I did it.\n\nI recommend just buying the "refill" and swishing it around in your mouth for 15 min every few days.  I do it while I'm in the shower.\n\nYou can buy the product in some drugstores or here:\n\nhttp://www.drgeorges.com/buy-teeth-whitening-online.asp

Many teeth whitening processes involve rubbing your teeth with abrasive materials, but you want to avoid rubbing them too much, because if you rub off the top layer of your teeth, the tooth enamel, your dentine layer will be exposed. \nThis is harmful to your teeth as well as making your teeth look greyish. Use caution and a soft bristle brush with home-made teeth whitening attempts. \n\n1. Lemon Juice (either from a bottle or from a lemon) mixed with a bit of table salt. In a small cup, mix the cupful of lemon juice with two to three very small spoonfuls of salt. Dip your toothbrush in and gently rub. Rinse mouth with water. Do not apply salt directly to the brush. Do this once every second day for up to 5 times. After doing this, brush your teeth with toothpaste – acids can actually cause tooth staining if left on the teeth.\n\n2. Try fruit! Rub a strawberry on your front teeth before brushing your teeth with regular or whitening toothpaste.\n\n3. Baking soda. Mix fresh baking soda with some cold water and gently rub teeth with the mixture. Use the flat part of your finger or a soft bristle toothbrush dipped into the baking soda to apply the baking soda to your front teeth. Do not rub vigorously or with a hard toothbrush. Let the baking soda sit for a couple of minutes, rubbing gently. Rinse mouth with clean water.\n\n4. Or, try vinegar! Dip a soft toothbrush in vinegar and brush gently. Avoid excessive vinegar on your gums, the acid can make your gums feel unpleasant. Rinse mouth with water after. To get between the teeth, try dipping your floss in vinegar before flossing.\n\n5. Make a paste of vinegar with baking soda. Mix vinegar with baking soda and apply the paste to your front teeth with your finger, rubbing gently using up and down motions.  Rinse mouth with water. While rinsing, force water between teeth by closing teeth and pouring water into your mouth.\n\n6. Some people try brushing or even rinsing their teeth with hydrogen peroxide. This may whiten your teeth, but the peroxide can damage your gums and the lining of your mouth. Also, keep in mind that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the bottles you can buy, and in the whitening agents you can buy, is different. If you do choose to do this, dab the peroxide on a tiny bit at a time with a cotton swab, to prevent any peroxide from touching your gums.\n\nAn important thing to remember with these home remedies for teeth whitening methods is to be patient. It will take time to remove the stains on the teeth, and it may take several weeks to see results. Don’t forget to continue your normal teeth and mouth cleaning regimen as well.

First off you should never use a "whitening" tooth paste, it is too harsh on the enamel of your teeth. The only reason that it works (very little) is because it basically scratches the enamel off of your teeth! (this is very bad increases risks of cavities and sensitivity) I say use a tooth paste that offers cavity protection and floss daily, that is how you get healthy teeth!
