I want pearly white teeth, any suggestions?

Im 13/14 years old and i have yellowish teeth... they arn't gold or whatever but they arnt white!


I tried crest strips but i wouldn't use it everyday because it was hard to keep in for 30 min and all this nasty saliva would be coming out.





Price is not a big issue,





Are those 5 min. strips good?


Are there any side effects?


How long will it take to have pearly whites?

I want pearly white teeth, any suggestions?
First, don't drink soda, tea, coffee, or smoke cigarettes, because they all stain your teeth.





Second, be sure to brush your teeth after every meal. If you are gentle in your brushing, you really can't brush enough. That will help prevent future stains and get rid of some surface stains.





As for the deeper stains, the over-the-counter products work well if you follow the directions. I had the same problem with the original Crest WhiteStrips, but they have refined their product to be as effective in a shorter amount of time.





Baking soda is wonderful, but I wouldn't use it straight b/c you don't want to chance ingesting it.





Worst case scenario, visit your dentist. He/She can give you a professional bleaching treatment for a reasonable price, and regular brushing and avoiding staining drinks/cigs will prevent future stains.





Good dental health to you!
Reply:The Crest strips really work. But since you can't keep them in for the required amonut of time, you can go to the dentist and they have a procedure that makes your teeth white as snow.
Reply:Dont use baking soda use a little peroxide on your tooth brush.
Reply:to get really clean perfect white teeth you have to go to the dentist and have them bleached, visit your dentist and they will tell you more about it. good luck!!!!!!!!
Reply:I have heard you can brush your teeth with fresh strawberries and it will work also like you mentioned baking soda will work and yes it is like flour....good luck
Reply:yes i had the saliva problem too- i end up just sucking in air while i have the strips on, so i swallow the saliva, but dont touch my teeth. try putting them on then laying down so the saliva wont come on your teeth. Not sure about the 5 min strips, but peroxide if used as directed does not affect enamel too much. Side effects are usually temporary irritation and sensitivity- not long lasting. And the lenght of time it take to have pearly whites depends on the strength of the bleaching agent and the durationn you have it on. But stronger concentrations of bleaching agents usually increase sensitivity and irritation-- so if price is not an issue, get professional whitening at your dentist, though i think you are a bit young for it. A slow and steady way is to rinse your mouth with a weak peroxide solution from a drugstore, which will gradually whiten your teeth. hope that helps,
Reply:Well as all your dentists tell you, "Brush your teeth after every meal". The type of toothpaste you use is also important. You need a good toothbrush %26amp; floss. I've heard rubbing strwberries on your teeth if they have stains works, Well the best of luck =D
