I am a college student without any money and i was wondering if anyone knew of any inexpensive ways I could whiten my teeth at home, without spending money on whitening solutions. I don't need them whitened a whole lot, just a shade or two would be great. Thanks!

There really are a lot of cheap teeth whitening methods out there, including ones that use household items like baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, and those that require the purchase of inexpensive over-the-counter products like whitening strips.
You always want to be careful not to cause any enamel damage in the process. You also want to consider the level of discoloration and how white you expect your teeth to get.
It's a good idea to compare the different methods, their costs and effectiveness before deciding. You can do that here: http://the-dental-makeover.com/whit ... dence/cheap-teeth-whitening-methods/

Hello. I am a smoker and drink coca-cola like it is going out of style! I'll easily drink 7 cans of coke a day! So needless to say, my teeth stayed pretty dull. I brushed twice a day with peroxide baking soda and just about a drop or two of regular bleach, but it never seemed to whiten them, only tear my gums and make them bleed.

I never had money, so when I worked at Winn Dixie, i decided to use something different. It's called the 5 minute whitening system. You're suppose to brush, then rince with the bottle of blue liquid (1 tsp of it with 3 tsp of warm water) put the bleaching gel in the tray and keep it on for 5 minutes, then brush. Do this 3-5x per week it says. Well, it never seemed to work, so I used it longer. I started leaving it on for about an hour, brushing with Rembrandt whitening toothpaste before and after.

After 2 weeks of doing that every day, everywhere I went people told me that I had abnormally white teeth. It was an amazing feeling. It's only $10 for the entire kit at walmart. And it will last you months! I will be honest though, it makes your teeth VERY sensitive, but it's worth it for the beautiful smile that I'm able to give every time I smile at someone!

Brushing with baking soda to much will in time wear the enamel down on your teeth. Isn't a pretty sight, then you have to get veneers.

I brush every night with just plain baking soda (Walmart brand- 97 cents) and rinse with Listerine. Be warned- it seriously burns, but it's only for 30 seconds. Morning and after lunch brushing consists of using regular toothpaste (Colgate- the cheapest version thereof, also Walmart) and my teeth are like I just walked out of the periodontist's office after a deep cleaning/root planing. My teeth are movie-star white.

I have NEVER had my teeth professionally whitened and I drink several cups of coffee/day. I should be walking around with little baked beans for teeth, but it's nothing more than REGULAR brushing, flossing and rinsing with the cheapest means and my dentist is THRILLED!

Hey! I brush with Colgate Total. I also make sure I floss, flossing also makes the gums pinker which makes your teeth look whiter! I also brush w/ baking soda, swish peroxide and then mouth wash. I do that twice a day and noticed whiter teeth very quickly!

Take some salt and add lemon to it and brush slowly. Your teeth will shine.

go to the website oramedia. they have all kinds of ideas for home remedies for the teeth.
such as... a vinegar rinse to loosen tartar.....baking soda and peroxide for brushing.....even using glycerine soap for toothpaste (don't go yuck, i tried it and my teeth never felt so clean.)

My teeth were mostly brown from coffee, tea, and nicotine stains. I couldn't afford to have them whitened, so I started brushing with just plain baking soda on my toothbrush. I still drink a lot of coffee and tea, and I still smoke, but my teeth are now as white as they would be if the dentist cleaned them, and only after two weeks of brushing twice a day with the baking soda! That's all I use now. Plus, the baking soda gives you nice, fresh, breath!

It sounds too easy, but rinsing with Listerine mouthwash (any flavor) for 30 sec a night works. My husband started using the rinse (as a suggestion from the dentist) because he didn't like flossing. A side effect was noticeably whiter teeth.

Consumer Reports recently reviewed some of the top toothpastes that claim to whiten your teeth. Believe it or not, Ultrabrite Advanced Whitening- which costs only about 99 cents for a 6 ox tube- was at the top of their list! That was enough to convince me to switch! Plus I always try to brush my teeth after my morning cup of coffee (I hear some people will even drink their coffee through a straw in an effort to keep their teeth white).

I learn on my own experience that if you eating every day 2-3 apples you will see a great change. It's healty and cheap.

Sure! I know of one that is cheap and you can make at home, just use Baking Soda and lemon juice and make into a paste, but don't use this too frequently though as lemon is acidic and wear down the enamel on your teeth but when you just want the whitest teeth then use my recipe it works inexpensively and gives the same results, leave the paste on for about five minutes then brush with cool water then rinse, don't brush too hard you could irritate your gums with this method a gentle cleaning is all you need, here's to your pearly whites!

Buy a cheap small box of baking SODA. (Probably .50 at Dollar General or WalMart) Moisten your toothbrush with water and then press the bristles into the baking soda and brush away. Rinse your mouth with plain water. Also do the hydrogen peroxide rinse mentioned earlier. It's cheap too.....$.50 or $1.00 depending on the size of the bottle. Keep it tightly capped.

Tip: Cheap Teeth Whitening

Archived on 01/17/2007

This was a tip from my dentist. Mix a teaspoon or two of peroxide and equal amount of water and swish around in your mouth. Let it sit in your mouth for a short time, then rinse.

Tip: Don't rinse your mouth thoroughly, before sipping the peroxide and water mix and it will foam in your mouth. There is absolutely no taste to this mixture!

Coffee and tea stains your teeth!

PlusWhitening

Wanna whiten your teeth? Buy a teeth whitening product called PlusWhitening. You can get it at Wal-Mart. It dosen't taste that great but it really works. I have been using it for three years. (10/17/2005)

Colgate Simply White

I like Colgate Simply White. It works great for me! After about a week of using it, my brother, (whose hobby is insulting me) said my teeth looked whiter, and he didn't even know i was using it! And it's REALLY CHEAP! I paid $15 for it at wal mart, and it came with an electric toothbrush and batteries! The only negative thing i can say about it is that it tastes kinda raunchy, but it's worth it! (01/03/2006)
