Want whiter teeth, does anyone know what works

Hi, everyone I know this place is normally for makeup but I thought you guys might be able to help me. I want to whiten my teeth but I don't know what product to use.

I checked out a few different inexpensive ones like white strips, but they don't work and they make my teeth really sensitive. I went to my dentist and he said that he could do it for about $800. I can't afford that.

Anyway, I found this site:

They seem to think that Ivory white is the way to go. And they also offer a free trial, very tempting. What do you guys think?

site dosent work.

site isnt showing.....But wat i use is listerine whitening mouth wash, and then i use a whitening toothpaste after it....brings my teeth back to that pearly white color

My dad has really white teeth, he's never whitened them before, he just uses baking soda to brush after or before toothpaste.

PROFESSIONAL WHITENING TRAYS | 30% Bleaching Kits | Nite White, Day White, Opalescence, Zoom, Generic

Fortunately, I have a good friend who supplies me with 16% peroxide solutions from the dentist and it works wonders. This site allows you to choose which % you'd like to receive. I believe the max is 30 for this site. Oh and it's much less than $800. I hope this helped.

great tips!

I bought some crest whitening strips and it has worked well for me. I have not compleated the pack as I feel they are white enough now as is.

I was noticing my FOTD photos and my teeth were yellowing and if you look at my current FOTD pics (click here) there is quite a difference. I got my first compliment last night.

Crest whitestrips work like magic. You can pick them up on Ebay for around $30 I have used them 3 times. I use them every year and a half to two years because I am a freak for white teeth. I get so many comments"you have the whitest teeth I have ever seen". I highly suggest you try them out!!!!

It's affordable and in due time, you will see results. Good luck! yes this is a good inexpensive way to whiten the ingredients are pretty much what is in some of the expensive stuff..

AVOID TEA, COFFEE, ALCOHOL & TOBACCO



Brush your teeth every morning & every night before you to bed & use Hydrogen peroxide is probably the most common and popular natural lightening agent.

Thanks everyone for the tips! I'm going to try these tips!

my dentist has recomended my getting a sonicare toothbrush for whitening...i got one on ebay for way less than retail.

Great tips..Gonna try some of them

DO NOT USE lemon juice.....waaaaay to acidic for your teeth....it will do more harm than good. it will erode and weaken your teeth.

also use baking soda in moderation.......very abrasive and it will cause sensitivity with long term use.

hydrogen peroxide is fine to use.

OTC white strips are fine .

polishes are very abrasive and will only work on surface stains.

It's okay to drink lemon juice, just make sure you either brush your teeth, try some gum or drink a glass of milk right afterwards
My tip would be KLEAR ACTIV or ZOOM if your dentist has it.
