Here is an important WARNING.
I used Listerine Whitening Pre-Brush rinse, completely in accordance with the instructions (rinse full strength for 60 seconds, maximum twice a day, just before brushing).
After a couple of weeks, my teeth got a little brighter ... but then ... suddenly a couple of my molars got VERY SENSITIVE to anything cold or sweet. I did a little research, and found out the active ingredient in the rinse (Hydrogen Peroxide) causes this side effect in many people. It is harsh on your tooth enamel and can tweak nerves that lie just under your tooth enamel.
I stopped using the product right away, and within a week, the sensitivity luckily went away.
I would be very cautious about using any teeth whitening products. Tooth sensitivity and gum damage/irritation are common side effects. Some gum damage is not reversible - scary! BEWARE! DO RESEARCH!

On a comparative foundation, enamel whitening toothpastes often aren't regarded to be probably the most potent variety of enamel whitening merchandise to be had, mainly on the grounds that their final result is just one of eliminating superficial particles versus growing a real inner colour difference as is the case with peroxide-situated whiteners. However, there may also be instances while a whitening toothpaste is the exceptional option. One of the visible methods to scale down staining of the enamel and advertise healthful gums is through consuming tons of water. Drinking plenty of water steers you clear of consuming fluids which might be darker and have a tendency to stain or discolor enamel. Coffee, tea, and certainly darkish coloured soda's are a number of the most sensible beverages that depart stains on enamel. An occasional beverage that results in staining isn't a quandary. Constant intake of those forms of drink isn't conducive to enamel whitening.

I have used Plus White in the past and am currently using it. It is a gel and has a mouth piece. You rinse with their mouth rinse the fill the mouth piece with the gel and put it in your mouth for 5-10 minutes. You can use it once or twice a day. It only costs about $6-$7 and works great. I also use a tooth paste for smokers or tea/coffee drinkers. Good luck whitening.
I have only used this product twice this time and am already noticing a big difference.

The other day on the Today show they compared whitening products and the one they and their dentist agreed on a a whitener that works fairly well was Crest White Strips. This was compared to over the counter and dental treatments.

There is Crest White Strips you can purchase at any drugstore within North America. Its about $19.99.
Its really good but then if you drink tea and coffee it stains your teeth and defeats the purpose of the whitening.
Good Luck
