Things You'll Need:
- White strips
- Whitening toothpaste
- Whitening chewing gum
-
Step 1
Starting today, drink all dark beverages through a straw--no exceptions. Dark liquids like coffee, tea, and sodas stain your teeth and, over time, noticeably darken your smile. This is the easiest, and probably the most effective, step you will take in your quest for whiter teeth.
-
Step 2
Purchase teeth whitening strips on the internet or from your local drug store. The most expensive should be around $35. There are other less expensive products avaiable but they are not as effective and are cheaper for a reason. Follow the directions precisely for how often and how long you should wear the strips. COMPLETE THE ENTIRE PACKAGE. You can follow the first set with another set of strips but anything beyond two sets in a row is excessive.
-
Step 3
Begin using a whitening toothpaste and brush twice a day--no exceptions. Put an extra tube of toothpaste and an extra toothbrush in your shower and brush every time you clean yourself. Your teeth are dirty too!
-
Step 4
Chew teeth whitening gum.

on 9/29/2009 Sipping coffee through a straw seriously threatens my manhood. Talk about a guy-point infraction--that's almost as bad as cross-dressing for any other occasion besides a live football game! Otherwise great advice. I do have an etiquette question, however: Can I wear teeth-whitening strips and dip Skoal concurrently?
