TRY Celery...
celery is a natural teeth whitener when you eat it, it helps clean out Plague in between your teeth use it twice a week and it will have your teeth looking great!,I recomend not to use lemon because it will ruin your enamel in your teeth. take this advice from me I am a porfessional dentist at the university of Paris.
B-)
Thanks and I hope this Helped you guys!:-D
just crush charcoal to make powder,add a bit on your tooth brush,its healthy,natural and it works for real,thats what kids in africa use if they don;t have tooth paste ,its PFM!:-**
Also anything sugary like honey, strawberries should not be used as well because although they may whiten, (I have not seen this but some on this board it worked for them) if you use this frequently you will develop cavities in the areas that you use it.
Finally, no lemons either as the acid is not good for the enamel. Be sure to ask your dentist or dental hygienist what remedies work if you want to go the natural route...as they always say, ask a professional.
but i am getting them off soon and after reading everything, i think the wash clothe with Extra [@] olive oil would work the best
no sugar=no cavities
no acid= no destruction of enamel
no chemicals= no cancer
plus, olive oil is good (to me ;-) )
react and turn a brighter, whiter color when under a black light (purple looking color).
Brush teeth with normal tooth paste but poor a little bit of peroxide on to your tooth brush.
Wash hands. Take your finger and smeer peroxide on it. Rub on teeth fronts only. Take the black light and hold it up to youre teeth for 5 minute periods. Repat 3 times.
Make sure you don't swllow any peroxide, can lead to bad coughs. Read Label on peroxide container for precautions.
You will Definetely See Results within The first Time you try this.
excessive wine=no livers
smoking=bad breath teeth stains and CANCER :-D
However, my son broke off a portion of his two front teeth so dental whitening, he could not do. I bought this Listerine Whitening for him. He uses it 1 to 2x a week (maintainence). But, if you want really great results do 2-4x a day until you get your desired results (then 1-2x a week to maintain).
STEPS:
1. Brush your teeth, normally.
2. Mouthwash normally (with Listerene Whitening).
3.get a very small dish and pour a little in the dish. Place your toothbrush in the Listerine and brushing on your teeth directly.
4. You will feel and SEE an immediate difference -:)
5. NOTE: this will not work with regular listerene. It MUST be the Listerene Whitening!
6. Hope it works for you, because we use it consistently.
7. He had braces for a very long time and he gets comments that he teeth are so pretty and clean they look fake. (he hates that comment. LOL)
*A kind smile looks amazing on everyone and brightens your entire face and emphasizes your eyes, so SMILE !
Cause Jesus
has anyone tried ketchup?
every 4 hours for two days :P
'home remedies' for whitening teeth! just get some proper tooth whitening stuff!!!!
But very good tip :-D
Clorox? are you Effin kidding me? I'm not putting that sh*t in my mouth...
Charcoal?...that store bought stuff is infused with all kinds of harmful chemicals and LIGHTER FLUID..it's ok to cook with...but you're not supposed to eat it!..not to mention that charcoal is a rock...the reason it's whitening your teeth is cause you're basically just eroding the outer layers...
ketchup = sugar+preservatives+sugar+acids+sugar...no brainer here...DON'T USE
and didn't any of you do that experiment in school with baking soda and peroxide? I'm pretty sure that it ended with the bag exploding! this is why it's bad for your gums...chemical reaction that produces g[@]es...
how bout we all just try BRUSHING!...and FLOSSING...and using a good toothpaste (with a whitener) and a good mouth rinse...(things that are all natural are obviously better...while the alcohol in listerine keeps your mouth free of germs)...
BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH! If you must, try a whitener from the store...or just let the dentist do it! It's worth the mondo bucks to have brilliant movie star teeth if you want them that bad...
...jesus
Listerine, Arm & Hammer, Crest.... all still test on animals. Would you stick tubes and electrodes to your dog or cat to give you white teeth? If no, live with your aging teeth. If yes, go hang with Michael Vick. Cruelty is cruelty in my book.
I think the most sensible one is the olive oil one.
Thnx- a random person
Also to kelCEE, I sure wouldn't wanna meet you - hateful, discriminatory AND unable to use apostrophes at the correct time? I don't know how you can discriminate against dyslexic people when you don't have a problem but still can't speak the language! xx
Anyways, i was gonna try the peroxide and lemon juice test but after reading all the scary stuff i think THE BEST suggest is #54. However, the olive oil n baking soda sounds interesting too from #57.
Bushing regularly using a whitening toothpaste and flossing is the MOST natural and SAFEST way to have almost...almost pearly whites.
try every single one of these remedies and it will asnwer all of your problems.:-D
and also, hydogen peroxide is very dangerous!!
Need replies urgently ! Thanks !:-)
If you were to get the bleaching system, thats exactly what you would do with the gel, just enough to cover the front teeth & not gums.
Please please please don't use clorox bleach or the charcoal for BBQ. The bleach solution for teeth is specially made for going inside your mouth, the charcoal that people may be talking about is probably something you can find at a natural food store.
Most importantly, brush at least 3 times a day or after each meal, floss once (again, once) a day.
Hope things work out for you all.:-D
What kind of potato. Should I use a King Edward? A Maris Piper? Or something more manageable like a Jersey Royal?
The "All Blue" potatoes work very nicely. Sweet Potatoes or Yams work well too.
Good luck!
Also, Just Plates, you should brush your teeth at least twice a day not just once a week...that is a little gross
I tried the baking soda and toothpaste mixture and put it on my teeth with aluminum foil. I only left it on for a half hour instead of an hour, but I still feel that it worked. The only problem I had was messing with the stupid foil and getting it on my teeth right. The toothpaste/ soda mixture didn\'t taste bad, and (in my opinion) had a cool foamy chemical reaction. My teeth feel really really clean, like I just went to the dentist. I only tried in once so far, but I think after a few weeks my teeth will be whiter.
Also, I believe the reason that my teeth aren\'t as white as I want them is because of not brushing like I was supposed to when I was younger. My permanent teeth had come in and I never flossed, and only brushed them for maybe 15 seconds. Luckly, I don\'t have any cavities or other problems, but I think parents should make sure that their kids are PROPERLY taking care of their teeth. :-D
You'd use Baking Soda, or bicarbonate which is the same.
:-D:-P:-D:-P:-D:-P:-D:-P:-D:-P:-D:-P:-D:-P:-D
im getting with the baking soda & [@] olive oil and spread it on my teeth with a Q tip :D
bright smile to errrbody!:-D
so do not underestimate the evil in "humans" who overdose on "good vs evil" television (u'r certainly no heroes). i don't have to tell u ppl do, in fact, idolize villains...
...evil = self hatred directed outwards. this is y 2nd and 3rd opinions are so valuable. ur common sense (which they think u lack) is all u need to evaluate more than 1/2 of these responses...just watch urselves. good luck, evan (doing God's work)
I use gold fish waste mixed with juice from capers and add flour for a binder. Make a paste out of it adn scrub lightly. You teeth will be amazingly white but smell horrible. Then gargle with garlic juice to remove bad rotter fish crap smell. Duuhh use tooth paste!
It whitens your teeth in 15 minutes of rubbing. Leaves a dark brown color on your gums for 1-2 days.
People will notice your smile for sure.
I am a supplier of Dandaasa. Leme know if you want free sample.

Chlorox IS harmful, however, if you drink city water (or water from the tap) chances are you are drinking bleech. IF your city chlorinates their wells then GUESS what.....They chlorinate with BLEECH good old fashion Chlorox Bleech....So what I'm saying is Diluted chlorox is in every city well that has had bad test results from DNR and had to go to Chlorinated Drinking Water System...SO get over it..... Your drink Bleech daily. As far as for your teethe?????? Who knows how that'll work???? LIMIT yourself to baking soda and peroxide... It does work but you don't leave it on your teeth and gums.. Maybe brush with it ....probably not every day because it could cause sensitivity... It makes since on helping with gum disease ...thanks for the website earthclinic.org I'm gonna check it out now..Good luck everyone...
Good tip is to avoid drinking anything acidic or eating something too sugary i.e juice/sweets before brushing as you are just spreading that all over your teeth. Better yet drink juice through a straw as to minimise contact with teeth. As acidi will destroy your enamel. Also eat a small piece of cheese before your meal, as this will create more saliva in the mouth wich will act as a lubricant to protect your teeth from staining.
Last but not least eat plenty of hard fruits i.e apples and pears as they act like a scrub for your teeth. Sorry for the lecture:) so much to say;)
Hope my advice helps!
Thank you for your time
xxxxx
:-[] learn something will yea eat celery and use the oliv oil.
You clowns are something else!
Tree peel, known as 'Dandasa'. What so special about this peel? Did you all notice that ancient egyptian mummies still have white teeth, after 5000 years being burried underground. Offcourse they didn't have toothpastes & lasers back then. What were they eating/doing with their teeth? Tree peel.
This peel is found in rarest locations around the world i.e., India, Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, parts of Afghanistan and southern tip of China. Its called Dandasa. I ordered a sample from India and used it on myself; gave it to my friend. 15 min of rubbing, after covering gums & inner lips with olive oil, his teeth were shining like midnight stars, viewed from Mt Everest.
And no, this is not marketing tactic. I am a student at a university in Dallas, and happened to have good connections in India to be able to import this product for personal use.
Wanna try it? Shoot me an email. I will send a sample to you. Dont worry about money.
bholasa AT gmail DOT you know what :)
Leme know if you want a small sample, try it, save some money, go green and save your Smile. Smile is one thing that will elevate yoru respect in others' eyes. Dont let it go just like that ... !
OH FYI,
LEMON JUICE, BLEACH, & PEROXIDE IS NOT GOOD 4 UR TEETH OR GUMS U LOSERS !!! IAM 19 YEARS OLD AND I KNOW THAT !!!!.
For what it's worth, here's my experience. Google "oil pulling ". It really works to firm up loose teeth, make them feel really clean and yep! it does make them whiter after about a week.
FYI to any children reading this: NEVER USE CLOROX. EVER. You WILL get sick and could possibly die. Some of you people are stupid. People DO read this and take your advice, and you are basically advising them to kill themselves. Ugh...
+ Use Mouthwash when you wake up and when you go to sleep.
+ Using Olive Oil Should Work, But I think some kind of [@]urance is needed, since that is not confirmed yet.
+ Don't eat dark foods and foods that leave stains.
+ Go to the dentist and clean your teeth, then maintain it by using the following above.
Hope it helps :-D ....Seriously, it's not about a one day process it's about continuesly taking care of your teeth!!!!! :-P :P
this is soooo frustrating i want to have white teeth and whatnot. thank you peoples for the advice though i will try some of these things.B-)
i'm 26 now and love juice so yeah some color has happened
and i find funny to read that people mention the tower/cloth thing with the oil, i dont know why you'd use oil but heck there's nothing wrong with oil! i'm back on using this method again with the oil and it feels great again!
IF this isnt gonna go fast enough for me i will try the walnut bark (not gonna go for the indian tree thing)
if that fail's i'd like to try the charcoal thing but have no clue if i understand it correctly (like .... charcoal from wood in your fireplace??)
will keep posted ... (i think)

"no sugar=no cavities

Remember, everything must be used in moderation!
*ketchup or tomatoes. Sugar+acid+sugar, etc.
*clorox. Have you read the warnings!?
*charcoal. So many chemicals wears away enamel.
*any kinds of fruits! Naturals acids in them wear away enamel. In case you didn't know, that never comes back!
If you must use something, use oh I don't know, toothpaste! Brush 3 times a day! Floss! Mouthwash! Olive oil works if you use it 2 days a week. Doesn't wear away enamel, no ulcers, no pain. And p.s. people are freakin retarded!!
Instead of mixing baking soda with your toothpaste, just buy Arm & Hammer toothpaste, which already has it.
I'm going to try the salt and baking soda remedy for a little while, and if it doesn't work then I might try oil pulling or olive oil. Other than those methods, I don't trust any of these.
Fruit acids: Rot your teeth
Clorox: Toxic!
I'd rather not mess with peroxide, I realize that it's not so harmful when diluted (you shouldn't have it if it's not!), but I'd rather not take the chance when there are other options. It's probably best to ask a dentist, too.
And brushing at least twice a day is a must!!

im also going to try the ovil oil..
Good luck everyone!!!!;-):-[]
mix 100 ml peroxide + gold fish remains+ baking soda + salt + dogs hair + man's [@] + childs potty + britney spears ..

All you do is put 1 tbsp of SESEME or olive oil into you teeth area. DO NOT SWALLOW!!! Then swish the oil around in your teeth for a good couple minted, until the oil is white when spat out. Do this 1 or up to 3 times a day if you wish. After you spit out oil, make sure you thoroughly clean your teeth with toothpaste or the good- old finger and water trick. Also, wash the sink and disinfect if necessary cuz the oil spat out now contains alot of bacteria and dirt. And your done!! If u don't believe me google oil pulling!!!

Concerning the mixing of honey with burnt toast, which I am personally in awe of ;-) It's better to do a little research on this one. Mainly because there have been studies linking overcooked food to cancer. Whether or not carcinogens from burnt toast can enter the bloodstream via being absorbed in the mouth; I do not know, but it's worth doing the research for peace of mind.
;-)
thankxxxxxx for my entertainment.
lolzzzz:-P
Here's the Good, the Bad & the Ugly of this thread...(my first)...
The GOOD...those dental professionals who has the inside scoop about the DANGERS of putting chemicals - sugary - acidity whiteners in your mouth...heed their advice...
The BAD...for those of us on fixed incomes...cannot afford a dentist bill/insurance...use common sense...baking soda and extra [@] olive oil...cleans and polishes your teeth...does not eat away at the enamel or cut the gums....BAD CHOICES are strawberries...lemons......RESEARCH IT.....
The UGLY......it is irresponsible to put any advice out here on the internet where children can access it.....try it.....and possibly die from it...it's not funny...it's not cool...and your sense of responsibility is non-existent....PLEASE...children die everyday doing stupid things....stop contributing to those statistics.....please!
try:
-Salt can be used to brush your teeth. You can also try mixing salt, baking soda and water together. But be careful, because the salt is very abrasive and could cause mouth pain and weakened enamel.
-Rinse your mouth with a vinegar/water solution.
-Eat an apple after meal is the easiest and most preferable method to get rid of yellow teeth.
-Don't use your fingernail to remove tooth stains, as your teeth are not hard as a rock. Fingernail can actually scratch the enamel which will led debris to lodge in the enamel thus worsening the situation by making the tooth more prone to tooth cavities.
A bit of salt, baking powder and apple cider vinegar, mix into a paste on a plate with your toothbrush and gently brush teeth avoiding gums as much as possible. Sometimes I first use olive oil to cover and protect the gums and also wipe my teeth with it which also helps to whiten. Sometimes I use it after the baking powder mix instead as it seems to make them shine and feel like they have a coat of protection on them.
I have used hydrogen peroxide just 9% in place of the vinegar and I can't see how it would be that damaging to teeth considering it's sold in pharmacies to use as a mouth wash when diluted with water and is also in most home whitening kits, pens etc. but I prefer the vinegar.
My gums now when flossing don't bleed like they used to which I think is a good sign.
On one particular website a lady said her and her family have been using the salt, baking powder and vinegar paste for the past 40 years and they all have healthy white teeth.
Also, brushing with Neutrogena unscented soap, as it contains glycerin which is good for teeth whitening, has been suggested but I haven't tried it yet, (about to tonight). Never mix glycerin and hydrogen peroxide together as the reaction is damaging to your teeth, even though some home whitening kits you can buy contains both.
Also, everything I've used was approved from websites writen by dentists but of course you can't believe everything you read.
I think common sense, using with caution and care and consideration of each person's cause of discolouration is the key, I'm not recommending anything as I'm not a dentist (although even they also seem to have conflicting opinions) I'm just doing what feels right and is working for me.
AND I HAD A INFLAMMATION ON THE TOUNGE AND GUMS.
just make sure u dnt consume tea,cofi,wine etc.....
or even if u consume anythng that is unhealthy fo ur teeth make sure u brush ur teeth properly.
