How can I make my teeth look whiter?

Question by ashlee_mcholland19: How can I make my teeth look whiter?
I don't want to use whitening treys unless that's all there is. A friend told me baking soda helps get rid of stains on teeth so they look whiter as well as peroxide, is that true?
What else gets rid of teeth stains and plaque other than whitening toothpaste?

As long as you are brushing your teeth regularly you can use certain electric toothbrushes that have different heads that help whiten teeth or brush on paste. The risk with using the trays is that some of the products can cause extreme sensitivity. You can see a dentist and they will be able to tell you all the alternatives.

Crowns are anywhere from $ 600 to $ 2000 depending on the dentist and where they practice.
If you had a root canal it is not considered cosmetic. Your insurance should pay something, you can have a pre determination of benefits, the dentist submits to the insurance company so you know before the procedure is done how much you will have to pay out of pocket.
You need to have a crown because the tooth gets brittle after a root canal and has a greater chance of fracturing. If you wait and the tooth breaks it will cost even more to fix.
The dentist will match the color to the other teeth it should blend in nicely.
