Anytime an event or family photo comes around I bust out the good ole baking soda. It works miracles. It will take a few times to notice a difference but it works. Since your teeth arent yellow and you take good care of them it should not take long to brighten that smile.
it takes about a week use crest white strips
i used crest whitening strips with it's "vivid white" tooth paste, it took about a week and im pretty happy with my results. i picked up this package for $40 at sam's club
use listerine 2 times a day after brushing and hold it for 30 seconds in you mouth
by the way, it kinda burns a little but i makes your teeth look and feel whiter.
You can use baking soda,whitening strips,don't drink coffee or smoke,don't drink dark sodas like root beer,coke,pepsi or other colas.Also you can eat lots of oranges,which have citric acid which can clean your teeth.
I use Listerine twice a day(rinse for one minute and then brush your teeth normally)...And I have Crest vivid white,Aquafresh for a whiter smile...If you want faster results,you can go ahead and use the crest whitestrips...But they will ruin your enamel,that;s the bad part when you white your teeth...
white strips and many whitening aids "eat away" the enamel on your teeth, making them white, but thinner and more sensitive as well. Just brush your teeth after every meal, use a mouth wash, stay away from things that cause stains on your teeth like:
red wine
tea/coffee
smoking
Veneers are also an option
"Foods/drinks. Coffee, tea, colas, wines, and certain fruits and vegetables (for example, apples and potatoes) can stain your teeth.
Tobacco use. Smoking or chewing tobacco can stain teeth.
Poor dental hygiene. Inadequate brushing and flossing to remove plaque and stain-producing substances like coffee and tobacco can cause tooth discoloration.
Disease. Several diseases that affect enamel (the hard surface of the teeth) and dentin (the underlying material under enamel) can lead to tooth discoloration. In addition, treatments for certain conditions can also affect tooth color. For example, head and neck radiation and chemotherapy can cause teeth discoloration. In addition, certain infections in pregnant mothers can cause tooth discoloration in the infant by affecting enamel development.
Medications. The antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline are known to discolor teeth when given to children whose teeth are still developing (before the age of 8). Mouth rinses and washes containing chlorhexidine and cetylpyridinium chloride can also stain teeth. Antihistamines (like Benadryl), antipsychotic drugs, and antihypertensive medications also cause teeth discoloration.
Dental materials. Some of the materials used in dentistry, such as amalgam restorations, especially silver sulfide-containing materials, can cast a gray-black color to teeth.
Advancing age. As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth gets worn away revealing the natural yellow color of dentin.
Genetics. Some people have naturally brighter or thicker enamel than others.
Environment. Excessive fluoride either from environmental sources (naturally high fluoride levels in water) or from excessive use (fluoride applications, rinses, toothpaste, and fluoride supplements taken by mouth) can cause teeth discoloration.
Trauma. For example, damage from a fall can disturb enamel formation in young children whose teeth are still developing. Trauma can also cause discoloration to adult teeth. "
