yellow teeth
Please dont say anything mean.
18/f
i come here from the phillipines. for those who know the phillipines we are not the richest country. i moved to washington just this last summer. my family comes from proverty so much so that we didnt own a tooth brush. so thats why my teeth are yellow. i was wondering is there anything other than brushing my teeth that will whiten my teeth.

there are actually a lot of things available to make your teeth whiter.:)
1. Crest white strips
2. scope white (i'm not exactly sure what its called but its a scope brand mouthwash and its in a white bottle)
3. you can also put hydrogen paroxide in your mouth but dont swallow it
4. 1 ripe strawberry
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking soda until blended. Usually it calls for a soft toothbrush but im sure you could use your finger. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking soda mix. Rinse. (A little floss will help get rid of any strawberry seeds.) You can apply once a week.
hope this helps. good luck on getting your teeth white:)
and dont worry a lot of people have yellow teeth even if they do have toothbrushes

Kamusta ka!
I've read online that using a banana peel works. I guess you could eat the banana first and then take the peel and rub it on your teeth in a circular motion. I don't know how much it works, but I've heard good things about it.
Surely you are seeing a dentist, na? They can give you cleanings every now and then so that you can get your teeth back to normal. Just try whitening toothpaste, lots of mouthwash, and trying not to eat foods that will damage your teeth anymore than they already are.
I know it can be embarrassing, but not everyone is perfect and you cannot help the fact that you were poor. Just take care of yourself and see a dentist. They will help you and give you tips.
Suwerte. Hope this helps.

Oil-pulling with extra-virgin cold-pressed organic coconut oil. In time, it can whiten AND strengthen your teeth.
Make sure you start seeing a dentist now. I understand how it is to live in a third-world country like the Philippines (by the way, you spelled it wrong, oddly enough) but it's time to make some changes for your own health and safety.
Avoid bleaching or using whitening kits on your teeth since there has been a fair amount of damage done to them through lack of care. There's no reason to use harmful cleaners when you can use something with no ill side effects at all, right? Heck, it's cheaper, lasts-longer, and improves your health! What more can you ask for? ;)
How do you start oil pulling? Easy...
"...
To oil-pull you must begin with the basics of it. Oil-pulling helps to pull toxins out of the blood stream through the mouth so it is essential to do the practice as long as permitted within the time range. It is advised to oil-pull with 2TBS of your chosen oil for 20 to 25 minutes without swallowing.
Most people use sunflower or safflower oil to oil-pull with but any oil can be used; however, it is preferable to avoid the use of canola oil and regular vegetable oil. It is also preferable to use oil that is cold-pressed and untoasted. Coconut oil is said to help with whitening teeth and helping to strength the roots of the teeth as well. There is also reports of adding olive oil extract to sunflower oil during oil pulling to cure oral and genital herpes! Whatever oil you choose, remember to stick with it for at least two weeks before moving on if you desire.
Oil-pulling is almost like swishing mouthwash but not quite. Focus on moving the oil from the far back of your mouth to the front of your teeth and then back again. Push the oil through your teeth. After 5 minutes of pushing and pulling the oil in your mouth, begin swishing it throughout the mouth, cover all areas. Cover your mouth entirely with the oil for 1 to 2 minutes before returning to the pushing and pulling motion as before..."

chew either dentene or trident whitening gum, there are some mouthwashes that will whiten your smile, and you could also go to a dentist and they could give you a few tips or some flouride. i wouldnt recommend trying whitening strips. they are very uncomfortable, taste horrible, and are just a lot of hastle to deal with.
hope i helped :)
