How can I whiten my teeth without using teeth whiteners?

From reader ‘ihasissues08′:


My teeth haven’t been as white as they usually are since I got my braces off and teeth whiteners destroy the enamel on the teeth so is there anything else I can do to make them white like they used to be?

    brush with a little peroxide dipped in baking soda. it tastes bad, and don’t swallow it…. you’;ll see some improvement

    If you use something on your teeth to whiten them, anything, then it is a teeth whitener. DUH!

    Use a toothpaste like colgate total that does the trick and doesn’t destroy your tooth enamel either

    I did the baking soda peroxide, and yeah it isnt the best tasting stuff but i did see results, I reccomend doing the peroxide/baking soda first then use your regular toothpaste, it helps get the nasty taste out and leaves your mouth minty fresh!

    brush after every meal and if you really wanna do it righ, then eat only white foods for a while, I.E. rice, bananas, milk, yogurt, some cheeses, marshmallows, brazil nuts, etc. also avoid things like coffee, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, some alcoholic beverages and other things that are sure to stain your teeth.

    use whitening toothpaste, mouth wash with floride and whitener(listerine), and floss

    There is a new product (whitening wash) on the market made by Listerine. It works great if you follow the directions and follow up with the recommended mouth wash.

    Tooth whiteners do not destroy the enamel on your teeth. That’s a misconception. Most tooth whiteners are made of hydrogen peroxide in a gel form. They also contain carbamide peroxide which breaks down into hydrogen peroxide. The only whitening products that aren’t safe are the no name brands you find in some stores. They have preservatives that can become acidic after they’ve been on the shelf too long. As long as you stick with name brands like colgate, crest, anything with the ADA seal of approval or anything from your dentist, your enamel will be fine and your teeth will be whiter.
