Help whitening teeth?

I have a rare dental condition called dentinagenesis imperfecta or something like that which runs in my family. My baby teeth were brown (yuck, I know) and my adult teeth are much better. However, they're still not as white as I'd like them to be, and they're pretty dull looking. I brush my teeth 3 times a day with a whitening toothpaste and use Listerine Pre Brush Rinse. I think that it might help a tad, but I'm not really sure. Would Crest White Strips work on my teeth? What about one of those laser whitening things? My sister and father both got veneers, but my teeth aren't as bad, and they're expensive and hard to maintain. Help please!!!!!!!!

Help whitening teeth?
What I do is I have a tiny plate where I put baking soda on. So when I brush my teeth I dab my toothbrush in the baking soda and than I put on the toothpaste (make sure your toothbrush is wet before dabbing the baking soda). Then I brush my teeth for 3 minutes exactly. Instead of spitting it out right away take some mouth wash and rinse your mouth with the toothpaste and everything.


Than you spit it out. Then I take the toothbrush and rinse it and dab it in the baking soda again. I brush my teeth for two minutes with plain baking soda. (It might taste funny but its sooo worth it) Then I rinse with mouth wash again. I finally take the mouth wash and rinse with nothing in my mouth. Than I floss. My teeth were 3 shades whiter in the first 7 days I used baking soda in my teeth-brushing routine. BTW, I suggest not having a lot of soda in your diet because its not good for your teeth. DONT DRINK OR EAT ANYTHING FOR THE NEXT HOUR.





The thing is, baking soda fights stains in a TOUGH way, it also kills germs and leaves your breath smelling great, GERM-FREE.





Hope this helped. I deeply wiish you luck with this method. I love how you didnt lose your confidence with this rare dental condition. Stay strong. God bless you and your family. I wish you success with healthy white smile.

Reply:you have to brush real hard
Reply:basically brush, floss daily, dont somke, dont drink acidic drinks IE coca cola, visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and check up :)
Reply:You could try swishing a little peroxide in your mouth. Don't swallow it, just swish for a little while. Its a cheap alternative to whitener. I would check with a dentist before trying b/c I don't know if it would bother your condition. It makes my teeth whiter.
Reply:You could try whitening strips first - I use the Rembrandt ones and really like them, they stay on pretty well and taste minty. You should consult a dentist if you cannot get the level of whitening you are wishing for (I don't know about your particular condition). The Rembrandt ones I use are probably a lower amount of hydrogen peroxide but the dentists have access to much stronger formulations if you should need one.
