I'm an 29 year old guy.
I'll always do my best to give well considered and sincere advice - give me your best shot. P.S. Don't be afraid to ask me private questions, I rarely spend a lot of time answering non-private questions.

o.o There is apparently a FORUM for me if you would like to talk about random non-advice stuff. Take off your shoes!

What is a good teeth whitener in your opinion? I'll rate good

I've answered a question like this before, so I'll paste it in.

"What is the formula for whitening your teeth with toothpaste and baking soda?

(My answer isn't Flouride!!!)
I thought flouride was good for strengthening your teeth, not whitening?
There's not really a formula. I would suggest mixing as much (isn't it bicarbonate of soda?) as is palatable into your toothpaste, and brushing with it regularly. If you're really wanting to whiten your teeth badly, consider a smokers' toothpaste (they contain whitening chemicals) or using one of those chemical whiteners that you paint on overnight or something.
You really should talk it over with your dentist. I had a phase where I thought I really wanted my teeth whitened (before wondering why I really DID want them whitened). I found out that it's not just as simple as: get them white, and they shall stay white for the day. Because your teeth have rough bits on the enamel sometimes caused by plaque buildup, stains redily come back, and are hard to get rid of in the first place. Dentists have special tools for grinding this off, without damaging your teeth. (Just for reference, NEVER EVER try to do it yourself) Some dentists also offer more effective whitening treatments, which usually use less chemicals, and don't involve putting them overnight where you end up swallowing the chemical crap as you sleep.

May your teeth be white!, or maybe you'll just stop caring what other people think... I did ;)

(Rating: 5) Thanks! Uh you either get the package and use them for 7 or 14 days (there are dif ones) and the whiteness last for about 18 months.
