Whitening Teeth with toothpaste (Easy to Apply ^^)
Teeth become less white over time as the mineral structure of your teeth changes and as your enamel becomes more porous. Teeth can also become discolored by smoking, coffee, red wine and even fluoride from tap water. If you're feeling self-conscious about your teeth, you can use a variety of methods to whiten teeth including whitening toothpaste, trays, strips and pens. If none of these methods work, then you can have your teeth whitened at the dentist's office.
1. Use whitening toothpaste if you're on a tight budget. A tube of whitening toothpaste typically costs less than US$10 at the drugstore or local supermarket.
2. Look for a toothpaste with the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Approval. ADA-approved whitening toothpastes use abrasive particles to polish teeth along with chemicals that bind to stains and remove them. Studies have proven that these toothpastes are no harder on your enamel than other toothpastes.
3. Look for an ingredient called blue covarine in your whitening toothpaste. Blue covarine binds to your teeth and creates an optical illusion that makes them appear less yellow.
4. Brush twice per day. You should see some results within 2 to 4 weeks. For increased effectiveness, follow up with whitening mouthwash.
