No patience for bleaching? There may be another way to get white teeth, and it's as simple as munching on an apple.
To keep teeth bright and prevent yellowing, you need to remove the staining bacteria. This is exactly what happens when you chew certain foods that produce a high salivary flow. So, in addition to apples, take a bite out of guavas, pears, celery, carrots, sugar cane, cauliflower, and cucumbers. Another benefit: The fibre in some of these foods physically works to clean teeth and remove bacteria.
Two more tips to keep teeth bright:
1. Watch out for dark foods and beverages. Anything that can stain a white T-shirt can stain your teeth too. That means most varieties of berries, as well as soy sauce, red wine, many fruit juices, coffee, tea, and cola. You dont have to avoid them altogether, but immediately after indulging, rinse out your mouth with water, chew gum, or brush your teeth.
2. Keep in mind that citrus fruits contain acid that can cause enamel to deteriorate over time.

I use those whitening toothpastes they have out on the market. They are not too expensive, and you use them like regular toothpaste. Just make sure you don't buy one with baking soda or other harsh abrasives as those ones can be hard on your gums and tooth enamel when used on a regular basis. I've been using them for years and have had good results. It does take more time than a whitening kit or strip to notice a difference, but it is by far the easiest method I have used, and the most practical.

You could try rinsing with hydrogen peroxide which is a bleach and will whiten your teeth a bit and also kill germs that cause cavities. Your teeth will be healthier if you eat lots of foods containing calcium. Milk is best known for this, but there is also deep leafy greens, like spinach and romaine that are rich in calcium.
At the drug store or other stores, you can buy whitening toothpaste, gum, or kits of papers to put on your teeth at night and in the morning that will make your teeth whiter. If you have lots of cavities you can rinse with a fluoride rinse to make your teeth stronger and more impervious to cavities, but some people will not use the fluoride mouthwash because it is rat poison in sufficient quantities and some folks just don't want to use poison even in small, seemingly harmless amounts.

Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth!
For home remedies.
Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month.
Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening.
Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth.
Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains.
If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here's something for you!
Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel (about $18.00) allows you to remove stains while you sleep. The tooth whitening system has a fresh, wintergreen flavor. After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile. You should see results in two days, although there are reports of tooth whitening results in one night

all i know is baking soda and yeah, you'd have to not drink coffee or smoke. other than that, the only at home whitening methods i know are the kind you buy in the store and then take to the home :) and of course the dentist.
