    Get thee to a chemist. A friend years ago swore by them. Her sister sent them over from the states as they expensive over here. Its a gum-shield you fill with a gel. Trying to develop an american style smile ?? ;)

    i know you said avoid the dentist but have you priced having your teeth polished? its not that expensive afaik but its also not as effective....ie it doesnt make em as white as snow but it definetly makes em lighter......


    oh and have you tried a toothbrush?*

    One thing I came across on a similar thread before was that a few years back (early-mid 80s I think) there was an eppidural which had the side effect of tainting the colour of the infants teeth.
    They were never quite white, looking *slightly* yellow. This cannot be removed, thogh it may be possible to bleach the teeth or cover it up a bit.

    Yeah, I've an idea I'm like that too, which is what brought it to mind.
    Wrigley's are making a mint with those whitening chewing gums.

    (did you see what I did there? mint, wrigley's, chewinggum - classic)

    Must look into it.
    Bleaching seems like an option...

    get your toothpaste, wash your teeth as normal, when your finished wash out your mouth as normal, but that isint it!!!!

    get a small amount of toothpaste on your finger and put it around your mouth and around your teeth and leave it there, try not to wash it away with your salivia or play with it with your tongue....

    i tried it for a few months and it definitely made a difference...

    i got some colgate teeth whitening from the states.
    its like a little tub of glue and you paint it onto your teeth when you have brushed, and it lightens the teeth.
    does work, although it takes a few weeks for you to notice a real difference.
    costs about 20dollars or something.

    you can probably buy it over the net.
    you can also get colgate plastic patches that you fold over your teeth and leave for half an hour, but the taste hoorible and leave a slimey feeling in your mouth like youve just given a blo, never mind :)

    go fo rthe whitening paste stuff. its the biz and only takes 30 seconds inthe morning/evening
