Teeth Whitening (low cost)

[Triceposaurus]

I've never wanted super amazing pearly whites but it seems to be a social expectation now. Any tips and tricks for OTC products that actually work and work fast?

Had good experiences with crest whitening stripes. Also I would recommend supplementing vit k/d to strenghen your teeth while dooing so.

You won't get really white teeth without veneers which by the way isn't how an actual tooth looks like.

There's a tooth shade guide, look up your color and if you're already more on the lighter side, that whitening strips won't do much. That being my experience and my dentist's advice.

Brush your teeth after every meal

Most of the OTC products work extremely well.

The white strips from Crest work extremely well. That's probably all you need. Do a test run and see how you react. If you react well, then try this: Keep one set of strips in for atleast 40 minutes and then do a second set of strips directly after. This will make the process faster. Your teeth may be sensitive and you may have some white spots on your teeth or gum irritation. This resolves very quickly.

There is also Watts high concentration peroxide gel on Amazon which you put in a tray, but it is difficult to use because the gel foams and gets liquified from saliva and is hard to hold in the mouth. It works though. Advantage over the strips is that you can make all teeth whiter.

Arm & Hammer toothpastes with baking soda and peroxide are really good for maintainence.

Get a generic kit off of Ebay. Super inexpensive, like, $10 for 45% gel and tray. Just as good as the stuff your dentist sells ya for $$$. I buy mine from this Ebay seller in Florida every other year or so. Well worth it.
