What can I do to get white teeth?

Question

ok so i have pretty much naturally colored teeth. there were always a shade of yellow. my mom says that there just naturally yellow. my mom said that there's nothing i can do because it's my natural color. i've been using hydrogen peroxide for awhile now and have not seen much of an improvement. it's so embarrasing, i can't even smile with my mouth open because of the color. do you think there's anything i can do to get white teeth? thanks in advance.

Answer 1

well yeah, you can brush with a baking soda, water, paste like solvent brush 3 times a day, and it will burn bad!!! not on your teeth on your gums.

Answer 2

mix hydrogen peroxide with baking soda and gurgle for 2 minutes. Don't do this everyday because your enamel will dissolve. Do this once or twice a week and brush after. Also don't be scared if it stings a little :)

Answer 3

crest whitening strips

it's expensive though

Answer 4

Answer 5

The dentist can whiten your teeth.  You will usually have to go back every 6 months if you want to continue to keep them that white.  

Answer 6

see your dentist, he/she will recommend treatment.

Answer 7

they have so many dental whitening products sold at drug stores or super markets or walmart you can use whitening gel I saw at walmart this morning for less than $5.

Answer 8

Probably best to have them professionally done by the dentist or get veneers. Personally I use Listerine whitening but I don't have naturally yellow teeth.

Answer 9

Dentists don't want you to know that you can whiten your teeth at home with a simple solution of peroxide and baking soda.

Answer 11

Crest white strips work for me, there's also the whitening trays that they have now.

Answer 12

few shady deals in an alley can get you some good quality pearly whites.. but really, try whitening strips.

Answer 13

A family member taught me this.

This sounds weird and it takes maximum 10 minutes but it works;

First, sprinkle some baking soda onto your toothbrush and brush them for about a minute and a half to two minutes.

Second, rub the baking soda onto your teeth.

Third, put toothpaste and sprinke baking soda on top of your toothbrush and brush for two minutes.

That should help.

Answer 14

The makeover shows 'bleach the teeth  in the dentist chair. Phone some dentists seeing what they're talking about. non pain treatments.

see how much.

is some bleaching kits  at the stores.

Your teeth are  sooo  strong compared with natural white teeth.

Hear bleaching weakens the teeth . perhaps say thanks that they're soo good....

Some people hear with natural yellow teeth.

  Besides nearly EVERYBODY"S  teeth's yellow from caffeine or food........

Answer 15

There are Crest Whitening Strips and different types of Mouth Wash that specialize in whitening teeth. Actually, they also give nice breath. I think there is also this type of surgery in dentistry that could help you. You should talk to your dentist but until then, I would go with the mouth wash and strips.

Answer 16

Omg let me know too !!!!

i tried some product that was ment to help but it was totally usless...

:(

Answer 17

Crest white strips are great, but they are a way temporary fix and it isnt very strong (potent). I went to my dentist and he gave me a special whitening kit that was a bit more expensive, but you get mouth trays that are custom fit and some super strong whitening solution. It keeps your teeth way whiter for a longer period of time. Well worth the extra money especially if you are self concious about your current color. Talk to your dentist and see what products he offers!

Answer 18

if you want to shell out the money at the dentist office, go for it...they will fix it. but really, what about the hundreds of commercials you see every week about whitening your teeth? pick one, stick to it and just do it. if it doesn't change, then don't wear lipstick and don't smoke or drink coffee.  

Answer 19

Try those whitening strips they sell in stores like Wal-Mart or talk to your dentist about whitening your teeth. Both are expensive but the dentist version is way stronger and lasts longer (or should anyway).

There are always ways to whiten your teeth and everyone's teeth are not always white when they are young, so that's not because it's "natural".

Brush your teeth after every meal (even if it's just a small snack, juice, tea, etc.) They won't get any worse if you do this right.
