White Teeth?
Posted in Dental by: adminApril 11th, 2008
I have braces and I really want white teeth
my teeth have always been yellowy so I’m working on brushing
right now im using arm and hammer extra whitening
just started so i cant really say
i cant use white strips or any whitening thing either
my friends have white teeth but a couple of my friends who have had braces have literally solid white teeth while some just like like translucent white teeth..
what is your trick for white teeth? 
also i have a dentist somewhere in my family so anything like that i can have access to.. (i.e. floride and stuff)
so yeah anything :p

Your friends probably just had their dentist do something, somekind of whitening thing on their teeth XD I forgot what’s it called, anyways try this…
6 teaspoons baking soda
1/3 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons glycerin
15 drops peppermint or wintergreen extract
Mix together into a paste and store in a container you can get a toothbrush into. It’s very fresh tasting, though a little salty.
Hope it works…

You have a dentist in the family and here you are on this silly forum getting answers from some people who know pretty much nothing…..weird huh?
There are NO toothpastes that will lighten the color of your teeth. They can only remove surface stains despite all of their claims [toothpastes are considered a cosmetic item and, as such, aren’t regulated]. The only way to lighten the color is with the Whitestrips [which you can’t use with braces] or with custom dental trays and professional materials [which you can’t do with braces either]. Sooo, your best bet, until the braces are off, is to just keep your teeth clean with your toothbrush and floss and go to the dentist for regular cleanings.
