i was wondering, does rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide make your teeth whiter over time? my cousin said that it worked for her. she also said that she got the idea from her friend who was in the army and she said that they used it to keep their teeth clean.

i don't mean drinking hydrogen peroxide, I just mean swishing it around in my mouth and then spitting it out.

Yes, over time. But do not use it full strength, since it is damaging to the gums. It does, however take a VERY long time, and you may find that whitening strips or the process of lazers at your dentist (zoom) will do the trick faster

I always thought it was bad to ingest hydrogen peroxide. If they're fine and it works you might as well go ahead. I personally like the Rembrandt whitening strips though!

Strange enough, Ultrabright tooth paste( the cheap stuff) really works. I use colgate white night brush on stuff too.
Baking soda works but tastes bad.
Some tooth pasted have peroxide in them like mentadent, but I didn't see any results from it.

That is kind of gross.........but I know that baking soda works every now and than put some on your toothbrush ,but not all the time it will take the enamel off.

crest white strips work good but if you dont want to spend alot of money try listerine whiting use it before you brush everytime and it takes a little longer than whitestripes but it works
