I found the best habit to get into is to rinse your mouth right after consuming any teeth staining foods or drinks. I have a couple of products that I use that really work. One is the Crest Whitening Strips (but I really don't like to use them) and the other is Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Whitening Booster gel. I add this gel on top of my toothpaste and I also use it by itself on my brush. Another tip is to use plain old baking soda on your brush. Works great to lessen the staining from my coffee between professional cleanings.

I use coconut oil. I swish it around in my mouth for 10 or 15 minutes, spit it in the trash and then brush. My teeth are whiter now than they were when I used the bleaching product from the dentist. It's oil pulling. If you do it, don't swallow it and don't spit it in the sink. It's amazing. Also, it gets rid of bacteria in your mouth.

I got great results from the Go Smile sonic toothbrush and whitening gel - A276177, $109.

It's expensive but it worked really well for me and I drink coffee all day long. I also had such good dental check ups ( barely needed any scraping or cleaning) that I bought this as a gift for my Mom. Hope you find something that works for you.

I buy whitening pens made by Maxxgel. You get two for less than $13 and free shipping at Walmart. For me they work just as well as Intelliwhite or Smileactives. Each pen lasts me almost a month, used once per day. I was using them twice a day in the beginning until my teeth got white then I backed down to once a day. No sensitivity either and I have super sensitive teeth.

I use those whitening pens that the q sells. I do think it makes a difference.

@goldensrbest,

I don't know where. I usually buy my oils from piping rock and the lavender is not organic but it's smells really nice. Sorry I can't help you.

I never got into that but I also never smoked and I'm a fanatic about brushing. And I don't want bright white teeth, my own teeth are not and never were glow in the dark white. I do use Colgate Total which has whitener in it.

I agree with you. Who ever has super white teeth anyway? Just don't look natural. I had heard all my life that pure white teeth were not healthy teeth.

The dentist my husband went to had to retire due to a medical procedure that left him blind in one eye and sold his practice.

He went to the website of the dentist that took over the practice, saw his chiclet white teeth and knew he wasn't the one for him.

My long timwe dentist said that what makes teeth yellow is the material under the enamel. It is yellow and as the enamel thins it shows through. The only truely effective way to whiten teeth is to get a veneer over them. All those bleaching products are not healthy for the teeth.

I tried Crest White Strips once. They made my sensitive teeth hurt so badly that Ibuprofen didn't help. I learned whitening products are not for me.

I want to try the coconut oil swish. Now I brush with baking soda three times a week then throw in a squirt of peroxide to swish and spit. Follow by regular brushing. Keeps the coffee stains away.

I use crest white strips. I use them once a year or every other year. White but not chicklet white.

@goldensrbest...If your teeth are difficult to whiten, I recommend a product I got from my dentist called REV. It's a hydrogen peroxide gel you use with custom trays and it works well. I've tried Crest strips and something else from HSN before to no avail. My teeth are dark though and I have pretty thin enamel. The REV lightened mine up quite a bit but I have still decided to go with veneers. If your teeth are not that dark, the REV should work really well.

You should check with your dentist ... it's a simple procedure and not very expensive.
