whats the best way to whiten teeth at home?

Answer 1

I would say an in home bleaching kit because the you get quick results and it tends to be longer lasting, but Crest White Strips work really great and are less expensive. Which ever method you choose, they will both give you those pearly whites you want!

Answer 2

Over-the-counter bleaching kits

You could purchase an over-the-counter bleaching tray. When you purchase one of these kits, you will receive a one-size-fits-all tray and the gel. The process will take about two weeks of keeping the tray in your mouth for two hours a day. They can range from $49 - $120 for a whole system for your entire mouth (upper and lower sets of teeth).

Be aware, however, that dentists do not recommend these over-the-counter systems. Without the custom fitting that comes with supervision, the gel can irritate and whiten your gums. We cannot emphasize enough that, as a general matter, you should see a dentist before doing anything, so that (s)he can determine which treatment is appropriate for you. If you do decide to purchase an over-the-counter system, make sure that the ADA (American Dental Association) has approved the particular product that you buy.

"At-home" dental trays custom made by your dentist

A safer version of "at-home" bleaching entails obtaining a custom-made dental tray from your dentist. At an office visit, a tray (just like a Chairside visit – it covers your teeth, but not gums) is made. Your dentist provides you with the whitener, and you take it home. It is to be worn twice a day, an hour a pop, for two weeks or more. You'll schedule another appointment with your dentist at the end of two weeks for a checkup. These supervised at-home kits range from $300 to $500. The procedure is not any more or less safe than the Chairside visit, it just takes longer.

Answer 3

Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and
are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural
tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries
but certain precautions have to be taken.

Answer 4

a very cheap and effective way to do it is to make a paste out of baking soda & water, then brush it into your teeth as you would with toothpaste. if you want immediate results, let it sit for about 5 minutes then rinse. you can work this in as a daily routine or just do it as you wish.

good luck!
