Coffee and white teeth?

Several years ago I whitened my teeth using the Crest kit and had great results. I touched up here and there over the years but not I'm in college and drink coffee several times a day (can't help it!), so my teeth have noticeably yellowed. Is there a way to keep white teeth AND drink coffee without totally ruining my teeth with whitening strips??

Coffee and white teeth?
talk to a dentist about that
Reply:DO NOT use a crushed strawberry to attempt to whiten your teeth.... the acid in the strawberry will destroy your top layer of protective tooth enamel and subsequently cause your teeth to decay. Report It

Reply:maybe you could use a whitening toothpaste, but the real issue is your coffee drinking, you are probably addicted to caffeine, you need to cut down, and then your teeth wont be yellow
Reply:you should probably try an all natural tooth whitener...





this is from health magazine, so they know what they are talking about.





Whiten Your Teeth the Natural Way


by Karina Timmel


White teeth and strawberries may not sound like they go hand in hand, but it turns out the berries can actually lighten your smile.





The secret to this inexpensive home whitening method is malic acid, which acts as an astringent to remove surface discoloration. Combined with baking soda, strawberries become a natural tooth-cleanser, buffing away stains from coffee, red wine, and dark sodas. While it’s no replacement for a bleaching treatment at your dentist’s office, “this is a fast, cheap way to brighten your smile,” says Adina Carrel, DMD, a dentist in private practice at Manhattan Dental Arts in New York. “Be careful not to use this too often, though, as the acid could damage the enamel on your teeth.”





You need:


1 ripe strawberry


1/2 teaspoon baking powder





Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking powder until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking powder mix. Rinse. (A little floss will help get rid of any strawberry seeds.) Carrel says you can apply once a week.
