baking soda.
ReplyDeleteI see all these people posting about using baking soda on their teeth and I wish I could shout it from the roof tops "Don't do that!!!". What people do not realize is that baking soda is an abrasive agent and not only does it remove surface stains but also microlayers of your enamel one at a time so you will eventually have wear patters on your teeth. (This will actually cause them to appear darker over time as the layer under the enamel is a yellowish brown color). Baking soda is not actually bleaching your teeth, but just removing the surface stains from things such as coffee and tea. They will look similar to how they look after your have your cleaning done at your dental office.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question - The cheapest solution for you to do would be using Crest Whitestrips. There are many different varieties of them, but they all generally work the same way.
Some pro's of the Whitestrips? Cost effective, time efficient
Some con's of the Whitestrips? May cause irritation to the gum due to the fact that they do not fit on the teeth only, they will go on your gums slightly. They may also cause some sensitivity on your teeth (which can be quickly remedied with some prescription strength fluoride from your dentist office).
You can also look into having bleach trays made by your dentist. The price of this varies but they will make molds of your teeth and make trays to fit exactly on your teeth. They will then give you the bleach to put into the trays for you to use at home.
Either way you do it, good luck to you!
