Need to get white teeth fast?

If after brushing your teeth repeatedly with toothpaste and dull or yellow teeth remain, you want to find the best teeth whitening products to whiten your teeth.

While toothpaste brands from Crest to Colgate are marketing new ways to brighten a smile at home, consumers are often torn whether to use teeth whitening strips, gels or at-home cures using peroxide and baking soda.

If you teeth are discolored due to age, smoking or you just want a bright smile, here are a few things you might consider when using teeth whitening products to get white teeth and reveal your most beautiful and gleaming smile.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

    Get white teeth with at-home teeth whitening systems. At-home teeth whitening products consist of teeth whitening strips and gels applied to the teeth. Place these products onto your teeth repeatedly before you go to bed or at least 10 minutes in the morning before you rush off to work. The prices of at home teeth whitening range from $35 to $90. Popular at-home teeth whitening products include Crest Whitestrips Premium and GoSmile Advanced Formula B1.

    Visit the dentist for professional teeth whitening options. Teeth whitening performed by a dental professional are the fastest method to get a bright smile. Techniques performed in a dental office include: bleaching kits, light therapy and gels placed in mouth trays (worn at bedtime) to whiten teeth. Professional teeth whitening is the most expensive option ranging from $250 to $900, but is the most effective and long lasting option to get white teeth.

    Use home remedies to get white teeth. Peroxide and baking soda are great methods to use as a bleaching agent. Hydrogen peroxide forms cleansing bubbles that removes stains from the enamel. Wash your teeth with a wash of hydrogen peroxide after brushing. Or mix a pea sized portion of baking soda with your toothpaste to whiten teeth at home.

Tips & Warnings
  • To make ensure that at-home teeth whitening systems are effective, you must follow the directions clearly, and use the adequate amount of time required to adhere the gels or strips to whiten teeth.
  • Look for the American Dental Association's seal of approval before using a teeth whitening product to get white teeth fast.
  • If you have not visited a dentist within 6 months to a year, do not attempt to get white teeth with teeth whitening products at home.
  • If your teeth have a grayish cast, the discoloration resides inside of your teeth and at home teeth whitening may not work.
  • Some teeth whitening products may damage the enamel while trying to whiten the dentin.

on 9/27/2009 A little warning, gargling with hydrogen peroxide too long can be painful, and swallowing a mouthful will most likely make you vomit. Just a little peroxide on a towel and holding it on the tooth should be good enough. GREAT ARTICLE, very informative.
