Crest white strips work really well for me! They don't sell them in my country, so I get them from eBay.

I use this gel called Plus White. It comes with a reusable tray and is a bit uncomfortable after a while, but bearable. And I use Crest 3D White toothpaste and Crest 3D mouthwash as well.

Have any of the over the shelf stuff worked? I use Crest 3D Whitening toothpaste and mouthwash but haven't noticed a big difference compared to others. One of the best things I've seen a dramatic difference on is to use an Oral-B electric toothbrush. It gets more off the teeth than just hand brushing does.

I did get a whitening gel that goes into trays from my dentist a couple years back. But, I found that it soaks into my teeth and caused pain. It did help out a lot too.

Certain foods and drinks stain teeth. Some I know who have had teeth whitening done, either avoid certain foods and drinks. Or, drink through a straw.

Uncommon opinion but I found that "Oil Pulling" first thing each morning freshened my breath for the day, removed more bacteria, whitened my teeth after 2 weeks, and kept me from getting sick!

I use organic coconut oil. When I wake up, I take a spoon of coconut oil in my mouth and swirl it around for 20 minutes while I read/journal/shower/etc. Never swallow!! It's supposed to trap and pull all the bacteria that sits and acquires in your mouth as you sleep. If you swallow it's basically like swallowing a mouthful of icky waste that could get you sick.

After spitting it out, I brush my teeth with non fluoride toothpaste and they feel so smooth and look shiny and healthy!

The studies I've read on it claim to reduce and reverse gum disease, and so much more! If anything, it's a cheap, quick, diy addition to my normal hygiene routine. And I've found it works wonders!

I like Whitestrips but they are pricey and I'm also a coffee drinker so I was buying them all the time. I went back to my grandma's method of mixing a paste of baking soda, peroxide and a little water. we grew up dirt poor so we had a lot of home remedies lol. Colgate Optic White worked for me too but it must be pretty abrasive because if I use it every day I get bad sensitivity.

Groupon usually has good deals on professional teeth whitening, at least in my area.

I 2nd this ^

The Groupons for in session whitening is great even in my small town.

I once bought a mail order whitening kit from Groupon though and it made my teeth so sensitive I couldn't drink room temp water! Definitely suggest thourougly researching whatever you end up going with.

I can now only use "organic" toothpaste that is "SLS" free because that particular chemical turns a simple cheek bite into an ulcer for me.
