I have used multiple products but they don't seem to work and I don't want to spend a lot of money by going to the dentist to get it done any good tips on what to do?
Baking soda! Sprinkle some over your toothpaste or just your tooth brush and brush for a few minuets, twice a month! Very cheap, and has been effective for me. Also inconsistent flossing seems to hinder the process sometimes, just a FYI! :)
Oil pulling is also extremely effective! Just get a tablespoon of coconut oil and swish it through your teeth everyday for fifteen minutes. It helps to pull the stains off your teeth, and also makes your gums super healthy!
I use the whitening strips from crest. They work great! They are the Crest 3D Whitestrips Advanced Vivid. I have used them before and my teeth were super white. I'm using them again and they do not cease to do the job!
Go to the store and by an oral b professional care tooth brush my dad had extremely bad teeth that weren't white and they are becoming so much whiter and so much cleaner yeah the toothbrush is kind of pricey but it's worth it everyone in my house has one now and everyone's teeth look so much better and whiter I thought my teeth couldn't get any whiter n what do I know they are like pearly white now
The tooth brushes at SAMs club are 75 I think for 2 and at walmart for one its like 20 something but its worth it I may be wrong about the prices but its somewhere around there
peroxide is what they use in any whitening product. Be carefuk using it because it can make your gums very sore. mix baking soda and peroxide into a paste and let it sit for a few minutes. you can do it up to twice a day just make sure it doesnt touch your gums. if it makes your gums sore, hold back a few days.

Also rinse after you drink anything other than water! Most things will stain your teeth!

Try a paste of baking soda and peroxide. My mom taught me this and she was a model. It works well.
