Is there an effectve way to whiten your teeth??


Question: based on your exspirence or someone you know
Answers: use a toothpaste with baking/bicarbonate soda in it.

When you use it, it feels slightly gritty, and it don't taste too good, but it does work really well if you use it twice a day for a couple weeks (sometimes less)
Use baking soda... That's the ingredient that whites your teeth...
Also peroxide, salt, baking soda.
Well using a tooth paste or a maswak(a piece of a particular wood usually used by muslims).There is another effective way and that is chewing sugar cane pieces as is common praactice in the countreies which grow sugar cane.
Whitening of teeth is a vast topic.First of all the reason for discoloration has to be found. If it is extrinsi, like due to tobacco, tea, coffee etc, a through oral prophlaxis(scaling) would suffice. But if the color is intrinsic like in ageing, fluorosis etc, the treatment is bleaching. Several kits are available in market to bleach your teeth. Mainly they are of 2 types: one having 30% hydrogen peroxide and other having 15% carbamide peroxide. The percentage can differ depending upon the severity of discoloration. Tese can be appplied either professionally by a dentist and other is for home use wherein the patient applies himself. In homeuse, they can be meant for day time or nighttime depending upon the schedule and requirement of patient.
I use crest night effects messy but it does a great job. Just remember to put it on the back of your teeth also because that is where a lot of the stain is.

I smoke way too much and drink soda but my teeth do not show it.
