DIY Teeth Whitening

Submitted by: mrshammer516  12/02/2008 7:11 PM
 
I was told this tip by a make-up artist in Nashville, tried it myself and it works wonderfully. Her orthodontist says its the same as the $300 bleaching treatments.

Buy a small bottle of Gly-Oxide which can be found in the toothpaste section of Walgreens, CVS or Walmart. Buy a plastic guard for teeth at any athletic store (mine cost $1.19 at a local athletic store). Put about a quarter size amount of the Gly-Oxide in the tooth guard and put it in your mouth. Wait about 15-20 minutes (you can put on your make-up while you wait) and in one application you see the difference. The lowers are a little more difficult as it takes turning your head upside down a bit, but as long as the Gly-Oxide gets on there, it will work. After a week, you will be amazed!

This is a great tip! My dentist said that most of the expensive bleaching kits are just peroxide and baking soda. Rembrant charges about 50 for it. Thanks, this looks easy enough to try and cheap.

I just came across an article on Yahoo that says "apples, celery, and carrots act as natural stain removers" and "greens such as spinach, broccoli, and lettuce create a film over the teeth that serves as a stain barrier".
