I use those Crest strips and they do a very nice job. Don't got to the dentist and get those funky unnatural white teeth. There is such a thing as being too white.

The three ways of teeth whitening –

- professional bleaching,
- home bleaching or
- whitening toothpastes.

Professional bleaching is the fastest and surest way among the above mentioned procedures. Although there are at least two or more visits involved to the dentist, the effects are certainly much more long term. A bleaching agent is applied on to the teeth taking care not to involve the gums by the help of a commonly used mouth guard, which is either a gel or rubber shield. The dentist may use extra heat or light procedures once the bleaching agent has been applied to the teeth so as to fasten the process. On an average, a sitting may last from half an hour to one hour.

Home bleaching is another method for teeth whitening. Kits can be availed from certified pharmacists or dentists, which include a hydrogen peroxide based bleaching solution. The solution is placed on the mouth guard, which as a rule is included in the kit, and subsequently follow the instructions in the kit. The gel acts on the enamel of the teeth and the frequency and duration of treatment vary, effectively they work for variable periods of time, i.e. overnight treatments are short lived while treatments where you are required to use the kit twice daily, effects remain for a more longer time.

Whitening toothpastes have a different mechanism of action as they do not alter the teeth color permanently. Instead they have polishing agents, striving to remove deeper stains on the teeth, which regular toothpastes are incapable of.

With all these options available, one should always consult the dentist, as he is the best person to direct you and counsel you on the most effective treatment, which would be equally appropriate for your requirements.

mix a shot glass with 1/2 baking soda and 1/2 peroxide and spread on teeth like a paste for about 5 minutes for a week. And brush afterwards.

Try a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to whiten them naturally. Brush the mixture on your teeth as you would a regular toothpaste.

there's plenty of teeth whtening products in shops these days, from strips to gum. Alternatively you could go to a professional teeth whitening service.

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.I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/ep7yg

you can find whitening pens and solutions and stuff like that at the drug store or walmart they mostly get rid of just surface stains. You can also go to the dentist and get them professionally whitened and the effects from that would be better than anything store bought.

Try the Crest white strips. If that doesn't whiten them enough, go to your dentist, and have it done professionally. It will cost a lot, but it's worth it.

-Brush your teeth 4 times a day.
-Go every 6 month to your dentist.
-Stop smoking.

Note: There are people that just born without enough calcium in their body, it may causes that your teeth turn yellow, even though you spend all your time brushing them. I hope this is not your case.
