@LadyDuck I have enough trouble trying to find a reasonable tasting paint stripper. Some of that stuff tastes as bad as dark chocolate.

I was going to ask if you have found a paint that tastes good. This way you can choose different colours for different occasions.

@LadyDuck I noticed the difference immediately when I went back to regular Crest, after using the 3D White..my teeth started getting less white..so I went back to the good kind. Yes Colgate is quite good also.

I don't have any tricks for teeth whitening. Are these tricks for real? As I think the tooth paste already has the feature for teeth whitening. Perhaps I still stick in it as I am not sure whether the tricks can work well or whether they are good for the teeth.

Some toothpaste contains ingredients that should whiten the teeth. My dental hygienist told me not to use those toothpastes because they can damage the teeth enamel, I use a normal toothpaste and orange peels twice a week to keep my teeth white.

@LadyDuck It makes you wonder. I like my dentist have had really good treatments from her however things like yearly xrays I do question. I know the machines are saver now and we get just as much harmful emissions from old microwave units and powerful wifi modems but do they really see much with those pictures? I sure don't.

Yes, the dental hygienists go to school for five years and they do not know the natural methods to whiten the teeth. Also my dentist looked at me as I was crazy, but he noticed that my teeth are whiter.

@LadyDuck (472060)

@Bluedoll I am not so sure that the yearly xrays are really useful. I remember two years ago that I had to remove my upper left wisdom tooth only two months after the xrays, there was a big cavity and it was not visible in the xrays... so now I am not sure if I want to do this every year.

It isn't something I worry about - my teeth have never been white and since all my crowns match my teeth I'll keep the the shade they are.

my goodness me - these are some easy tricks - I have always had yellowish teeth, not horrible ones though, but ask the dentist ever time to whiten then up to which he replies - Your teeth are very health, whitening weakens them - but I am sure that natural whitening would not. Gonna give it a try

I like whiter teeth. But, even if mine are not as white as snow, I also find ways to keep it that way. Although a friend of mine suggested a tsp of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water for gargling, 1st thing in the morning. She said it not only fights the bacteria that results in bad breath, it also whitens the teeth (but after, you need to brush your teeth as well, in order to protect it from the acv).

@KnehKnah Yes, of course, 15 minutes after each meal, we always have to wait a little, never brush immediately after the meal. Not only brushing, but also flossing of course, every evening.

Vinegar should never be used for teeth, if you brush the teeth after is even worse. My dentist recommends to wait always 15 minutes after acid food to brush the teeth, because the acid reacts like sandpaper on your teeth.

Do not use lemon on your teeth, in addition to baking soda is just like to use sandpaper on the teeth. My husband knows because he damaged the enamel.

Thanks for the tips, though I probably won't need them because I've already got white teeth. That's what people say anyway. I once won a contest in the office for having the whitest teeth.

I don't know why they're white. They've been like that ever since I was little.
