Teeth Whitening

However, if you have a date or an interview this is a quick & cheap was to brighten up before leaving the house and making a lousy impression.

The secret to this inexpensive home whitening method is malic acid, which acts as an astringent to remove surface discoloration. Combined with baking soda, strawberries become a natural tooth-cleanser, buffing away stains from coffee, red wine, and dark sodas. While it’s no replacement for a bleaching treatment at your dentist’s office, “this is a fast, cheap way to brighten your smile,” says Adina Carrel, DMD, a dentist in private practice at Manhattan Dental Arts in New York. “Be careful not to use this too often, though, as the acid could damage the enamel on your teeth.”

I got my braces off like a month or two ago and my teethe haven’t ever been yellow but they were like really white before i got them on. So i want to whiten my teeth. What kind of teeth whitening products do you use? I’ve been using Crest whitening expressions, floss, Listerine mouth wash, and crest whitening strips daily renual after every meal. Is this good or should i be using different products and what kind of products do you use?
thanks
I recently got my braces off also. After I brush my teeth at night, I put some baking soda on my toothbrush and brush my teeth with that. It really works! And it works faster than any whitening strips, mouth wash, or floss I’ve heard of. Now I get complimented on my teeth all the time.

Okay..so i’m guilty…i love to drink coffee, tea, and dark sodas….

from that..i have stained teeth.

on the MSN homepage…they were mentioning something about teeth whitening…and i read the article and it said that Peroxide is what is used to whiten teeth !

So my question is…
Could I use regular peroxide on my toothbrush or something? Or do I have to dilute it…and if I do…how much?
What are the negative effects of using perioxide….because they did say that it DOES NOT cause tooth enamel decay…so…what could be wrong with it?

Any idea on how to improve you whiteness if your teeth are yellow?…I know not to drink soda, coffee, ect…. Does teeth whitening actually work?

I used the 7 day Crest Whitestrips Premium (about $25) and they worked really well. My gums started getting sore about halfway through, but I just cut back to one strip a day. Use them with the whitening rinse and toothpaste and you will be good to go. If your teeth need more whitening, do another kit.

My friend brushes her teeth twice a day, and always has since I’ve known her, but for some reason she has off white-slightly yellowish teeth. Her family doesn’t have a lot of money and she can’t afford to go to the dentists. What would be the most effective and cheapest method for whitening her teeth?
