Hi, you could try rubbing a lemon peel over the stained teeth, but make sure you rinse your mouth thoroughly after that. You can also make natural tooth paste by mixing 3 tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate with 2 tablespoons salts. Just use it as any commercial tooth paste. Can add ground orange and lemon peel to the mixture to whiten teeth.

I use Crest Whitestrips. They work REALLY REALLY well but I buy mine from my dentist. They are a much higher strength than you can buy at the drug store. My dentist told me to quit wasting my money on that other stuff and try the professional strength Whitestrips, so I did. WOW! Made a huge difference and I am a coffee and soda drinker. The strips are pretty thin and do not ooze. Even if I do get some solution in my mouth due to saliva, it doesn't really have a taste at all. I put mine on in the shower where I am less likely to talk and move them around:) Sometimes they slip a bit, but they still cover the area they are supposed to, so no harm done. My dentist also told me NOT to use them on clean teeth otherwise they will definitely not stick. So, I put them on, take my shower, when my 30 minutes is up (and by the time I shower, dry, lotion it is time) I remove them and brush my teeth for the day. I love them! Good luck! Heidi

The first time I had the dentist make the trays and bought Opalescence from him also. I think it was about 200.00 maybe for the trays and whitener... then I found the Opalescence on Amazon for a fraction of the price the dentist sells it for. Once you whiten them you just use it occasionally to keep them white. It helps with the sensitivity if you don't leave them in for a long time and it's not really necessary, 30-45 minutes Is plenty of time. Opalescence comes in a couple different strengths so if you tend to have sensitive teeth buy the milder strength. Be sure to store the unused whitener in the refrigerator. Perhaps you could get a dentist to just make the trays and not buy the whitener from him, just order it off the internet. also remember, it just takes a drop of the whitener, don't just load the tray up, it would be a waste and could cause gum irritation. I squirt out a small amount on the bottom front part of each tooth in the tray, when you put the tray in the whitener will spread onto the surface of your teeth.

Thanks, Marcopolo5. I have a three-tooth bridge (right front tooth and back). All my lower front teeth are 'mine'. Orthodontist pulled my four 'corners' in the old, dark days when they did that sort of thing. (Consequence being teeth tilting as I age.) I also have three of my four wisdom teeth. (Fourth never came through and is not visible on X-ray.) Then there are the gold inlays, onlays, etc. I've been a 'gold mine' for dentists over my almost-75 years, but I can still *chew*. I see two 'brands' mentioned here: Crest and Plus White. May I presume to ask further free advice about what to try?
