Whitening of tooth!! Plz help

[dollie]

Hello guys, day by day my tooth are turning to light yellow color!!! do not know what to do??
Can any one suggest me about this problem, heard that if we brush tooth with salt, then it will be helpful to get bright white tooth is that true? or have any alternative method???

i've heard that brushing teeth with baking soda can help. Some of the toothpastes that are available now do contain it so it must be of some benefit

I think that these methods are bad in the long run. I'm pretty sure that the idea is to scrub away the stain, however this can actually damage the enamel on your tooth, and it will be more likely to stain afterwards.

Obviously things like smoking, red wine, and coffee can stain you teeth, but some poeple do all this and still have pearly whites! Unfortunately, some of us are just more prone to staining, and some teeth are actually more of a yellow. Apparently, these teeth are stronger (not sure if my mum just told me that to make me feel better!)

Anyway, I am saving up for a trip to the dentist to have mine whitened. My teeth aren't terrible, but I would love them to be whiter. The dentist told me about $500 for the first go, and then your top ups will only be about $70 when you need them. It is a lot of money, but it's worth it to me to do it safely, and without damaging my teeth.

Also if you get it done by the dentist, bleaching can make your teeth sensitive.

I didn't know this...? Have you had it done?

my friend at work told me that it's only $400 to get your teeth whitened, so i want to get them done before the wedding.

DF has no enamel. when he was young, his dentist completely ruined his teeth and now he has no enamel and they are stained from drinking coffee and smoking, so i told him he should get them whitened with me..i wonder what would happen if he got them whitened, even if there's no enamel there..?!

I'm not sure about that, Kiki. There are some people that they say the whitening won't work, but I'm not sure who or why. Your dentist should tell you straight out if they don't think they can help. I hope they can. That sucks about that happening. Does he have sensitivity problems from it too?
I'm so excited about doing it. My boyfriend and I are doing it together too.

Strawberries have natural tooth whitening properties, FYI.
