Minh81n - if you look at the ingredients of most tooth whitening products you will see that some form of hydrogen peroxide is used as the whitening agent. Just start using hydrogen peroxide instead of your regular mouth wash.
Every morning and before bed brush your teeth using a baking soda & hydrogen peroxide toothpaste (Arm & Hammer have some good ones). After brushing and flossing use Hydrogen Peroxide as your mouth wash. You can buy hydrogen peroxide (3% in the brown bottle) at your local drugstore for about $1 for a 16 ounce bottle. Mix ½ ounce hydrogen peroxide with ½ ounce hot water and swirl in your mouth for about 1 minute. Spit out (DO NOT SWALLOW) and then rinse your mouth out several times with cool water.
Not only will will using hydrogen peroxide help whiten your teeth, hydrogen peroxide kills the bacteria in the mouth that causes bad breath and cavities.
