Request: Whiter Teeth
Archived on 09/18/2009
I would love to have whiter teeth, but when I use the teeth whitening products on the market I get mouth sores and even have a strange soreness to the back of my throat for a few days. Does anyone know of anything else to use besides those strips and trays?

RE: Whiter Teeth
I have used a peroxide rinse for years, and get frequent compliments on my teeth. Before you brush, combine hydrogen peroxide and water in a Dixie cup (about 2/3 peroxide and 1/3 water.) Rinse, swish and gargle until it's gone. Then brush with your favorite toothpaste.
Do this twice a day, and people will notice the difference and it's thrifty. (06/11/2009)

I simply dip my toothbrush into baking soda and add paste and it has helped my teeth a lot plus your mouth will feel fresh. (06/12/2009)

I use the baking soda paste, too. Peroxide rinse also works, but some people are susceptible to getting "hairy tongue" (can't remember the medical term for it) so be sure to rinse your mouth well with water after using the peroxide rinse. (06/12/2009)

I have had good luck using the Arm and Hammer Whitening Booster. It's sold near the toothpaste in stores. You put some of this on with your toothpaste when you brush. It does make teeth a few shades whiter. No sensitivity issues and inexpensive and under $6. (06/25/2009)

RE: Whiter Teeth
You know, most of the whiteners sold commercially damage our teeth and are harmful to our bodies. Also, these methods are overpriced and don't give good results unless used all the time, which makes people have weird side affects. But the most annoying thing is that people can whiten their teeth for about $15-$25 and get wonderful results over time.
My method is that you should get a good spinning brush. These provide a thorough clean. Get a whitening toothpaste, but maybe a healthy one that tells you it whitens by removing stains (Crest Pro Health and Colgate Whitening are a few), but the toothpaste isn't the key. A regular toothpaste is fine. Floss twice daily and brush after every meal. The key is a gum stimulator, which you would find familiar in the pictures on google.com and is available on the shelf of most drugstores. Over time, being hygienic in your mouth will remove stains and give you white teeth. (07/12/2009)

Whiter Teeth With Baking Soda
To whiten teeth, put your toothpaste on a "dry" toothbrush and dip your toothbrush with the paste on it in baking soda and brush teeth with that. You will notice the difference in about four days, but after that, this method should only be used occasionally.

Brush teeth using a paste made of baking soda and peroxide. Doesn't taste very good, and you may look like a rabid dog while brushing, but it whitens. (04/01/2005)

RE: Whiter Teeth
In addition to the baking soda and peroxide; add some salt. Only use occasionally and brush gently.

You can buy products now in the drugstore that are nearly as good as the expensive ones dentists provide. I had my teeth whitened by our family dentist many years ago, but they had started to get stained again over time. I bought the "paint-on" whitener, drugstore brand, for $10.00 and was very happy with the noticeable and considerably cheaper results. You have to stay with the process and your teeth will become a bit sensitive for a few days, but it works. By the way, the dentist's system also made my teeth sensitive, so why pay more. After the process, don't smoke, keep coffee, tea and red wine to a minimum and and you'll look great. (04/01/2005)

Brushing with Baking Soda
Using baking soda with a little bit of water, just enough to form a paste, and brushing it on your teeth whitens your teeth.

RE: Whiter Teeth
If you combine baking soda and lemon juice it makes a great teeth whitener. And it works especially good if you need the pearly whites in a hurry.(06/24/2005)

Editor's Note: The acid in lemon juice is believed to damage the tooth enamel. Use only occasionally.
RE: Whiter Teeth
Put about a half shot of peroxide in your mouth (do "not" swallow), swish for about 60 seconds, spit it out and rinse, then brush as usual. Do this once a day until you get the desired results. (01/25/2009)
