How to get whiter teeth at home

While you may want a mouth full of shiny, white teeth, a professional whitening treatment is expensive. Luckily, if your teeth aren't as white as you'd like them to be, there are some things you can try at home for a whiter smile. While none of these suggestions will work in the same way as a professional whitening service, they can help whiten your teeth and they won't cost you a fortune. Just remember to talk to your dentist before you try any home remedies to make sure they won't damage your teeth. With these simple steps, you can enjoy a whiter smile in a few weeks.

Method 1

Using Whitening Strips

*Get ADA-approved whitening strips*

These kits contain 2 sets of strips that go on your upper and lower teeth. Go to your local pharmacy and check the tooth care section for whitening strips. Look for the American Dental Association seal of approval to demonstrate that this product is safe.

Read and follow all the instructions on any product you use.

Currently, Crest whitening strips are the only brand that has ADA approval.

Don’t buy any products that aren’t ADA-approved. Some whitening strips contain harsh chemicals that could damage your tooth enamel and irritate your gums.

*Brush and floss your teeth if the instructions tell you to*

This removes any buildup on your teeth that could block the whitening gel or stop the strips from sticking properly. Brush, floss, and rinse your teeth normally before attaching the strips.

Not all whitening strips instruct you to brush your teeth first. Always check the instructions before you use them.

*Press the strips onto your teeth*

Open your mouth and curl your lips back so you can see all your teeth. Peel the backing paper off one strip and press the sticky side down onto the front of your bottom teeth. Run your finger along the strip to make sure it sticks completely. If the strip sticks out above your teeth, fold that part over the top. Then do the same for your top teeth.

Most kits don’t have different strips for your top and bottom teeth, but double check anyway to make sure.

Wash your hands before reaching into your mouth.
