Move out of England.
Are you a coffee or a tea drinker, or a smoker? Those things stain teeth badly, and if you continue even after you whiten your teeth, then they'll just turn yellow again.
All teeth yellow with age, and the only real cure is to get the dentist to whiten them for you. The over-the-counter stuff doesn't last long.
As far as halitosis, brushing several times a day, especially brushing the back of the tongue, will help. Just keep a bunch of altoids, or some other strong mint, on hand, and that'll help. There's bacteria in your mouth and esophagus that causes that, and a doctor may be able to give you a prescription to help.

I think that these are 2 different issues.
1) Whitening teeth-try using crest whitening strips. Some people just don't respond well and need a dentist's help with whitening.
2) The bad breath could be a sign of gingivitus or other gum disease. Much of bad breath comes from bacteria on the tongue. Use a tongue scraper to clean your tongue or at least brush the surface of your tongue with a tooth brush. Brush your teeth after every meal and use mouthwash. Listerine can help with the gingivitus, but contains alcohol, so it can make the mouth dryer and breath worse in some cases. Also be sure to drink a lot of water. See you dentist if the problem persists.

A good dental evaluation would be good to start with. Then get a good teeth cleaning by a hygienist and then maintain good dental hygiene. Ask the dentist about a professional teeth whitening procedure. Sometimes gum diseases and bad teeth will cause bad breath; the dentist can correct that. As for the pink lips.....a lite gloss or chap stick might work. I really don't know the answer to that. Good Luck.

I've heard brushing your teeth with baking soda works. Like wet the tooth brush and then dip it and brush, don't swallow and rinse your mouth. Listerine works great with bad breath.
Also brush your tounge, that works with bad breath too.
And as for lips, I've also heard and tried this.
Purchase some jello mix. Any flavor thats red. And get a lil brush and wet it and dip it in the jello mix, and put it on ur lips. Leave it on for at least 2 hours and it should stain red leaving a nautral touch. You have to do this right though. I've read about this little beauty trick in a Cosmo magazine a while back.
It worked.
Hope things work out and good luck.

Generally bad breath has nothing to do with teeth but if severe has to with lungs and bacteria. See your doctor of look up infomation on halitosis. To whiten teeth if you've tried crest white strips etc. then your next step is a professional whitening job -which can be$$$ . Again speak to your dentist or search the phone book. You probably know about avoiding coffee red wine etc. As far as lips pink..do you have an anemia problem or is it just your natural colr you are not satisfied with? Obviously lip glosses and stick. A quick trick is to bite your lips. it will make blood rush to the area and pink them up. Don't know if you wanna be doing that all the time thou. I think they make lip stains as well.

Is your bad breath coming from your mouth, possible gum disease, or maybe from your stomach?
Do you to your dentist for regular check ups and cleanings?
Brushing regularly?
Flossing Regularly?
I found this stuff called Breath Rx, its a rinse, and it works great.
I also use a minted floss.
For whitening: have the dentist do it for you. All the OTC stuff doesn't work that well.
Moisturize you lips. Clinique makes this Shea Butter moisturizer. Its expensive, but worth it.

Hi there..
As a dentist I can tell you off-white/yellow teeth can be caused by several factors individually (or a combination of some/all)./
Smoking
Aging
Certain foods/drinks
Genetics
If you were treated with tetracyclines as a child
If your mother was treated with tetracyclines whilst pregnant
Poor oral hygiene, plaque, calculus
Enamel deterioration
Injury to teeth (decreasing its vitality)
Some dental procedures, such as root canal..which would later necessitate crowning .
For a definitive answer your dentist needs to examine your teeth,xray them and ascertain the reason(s) for your dental condition..then he/she can take appropriate measures to improve them, such as professional whitening.
Re bad breath, initially I'd pinpoint poor dental hygiene, dental caries (decay),gum disease etc as the cause However bad breath can also be caused by digestive problems, such as acid reflux for example, again your own dentist can advise, if its Not resultant of dental problems, it may be simply a case of your doctor investigating your digestive system..have u stomach pain, inconsistent bowel movements, are you intolerant of specific foods or combinations of foods, do you suffer from abdominal swelling?
Firstly go to the dentist..I imagine you'll find teeth and breath issues are linked, they usually are.

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.
