JDlockhart your answer is utter b011ocks at best.

1. salt water rinses can help to improve the health of inflammed gums - wont be of any benefit in a healthy mouth 2. the formula you describe is likely to be highly abrasive to tooth structure 3. since when does yellow teeth mean unhealthy gums?! 4. "Fluoride doesnt do crap for your teeth" - ever heard of fluorapatite or the effects of fluoride on bacteria? - no, didnt think so.

- to the OP. Most over the counter pastes etc can be abrasive and (mostly) only good for removing surface staining. (that said, Crest strips are supposed to be v good/safe but I've not used them). If the discolouration is "within", then you will need "proper" bleaching agents - see your dentist.

A slight modification to the last answer I guess, but, what I've always done it use half and half baking soda and salt. It does not harm your teeth however. They are both water soluable and are no worse then the crap they use in toothpaste.The advantage to the salt is it toughens the gums up and makes them healthy. If you have yellow teeth then your gums probably aren't very healthy from whatever it was that made them (your teeth) yellow in the first place. But the peroxide won't hurt your teeth either if you want to add that. It's not the same stuff they use in tooth whitening products. BTW simply use this in place of toothpaste - fluoride doesn't do crap for your teeth, it's actually bad for you along with the aluminum powder they use in toothpaste. Look it up. Good luck!

Save your money and do this; take some baking soda and wet your toothbrush, put some baking soda in a little glass and add a few drops of water and hydrogen peroxide. Brush vigorously. Do this two times per day. You should see a difference in a week or so. Don't continue to do this, it's a bit hard on the enamel as all tooth whitening products are, so use it maybe once a month once you have the yellow gone.
