My friend has the whitest teeth and she has never had them professionally done. She told me she gargles with half mouthwash and half 3% hydrogen peroxide every night.
I've been looking for an alternative to professionally whitening teeth since I have tooth sensitivity. So, I tried it out and I've been gargling once a day for about two weeks with 3% cut with half mouthwash, and there is a noticable difference. The cost is minimal but you do need consistency and patience for it to work. I'm really happy about how white my teeth are already, so I thought I'd share. I had a tiny bit of sensitivity the 3rd day so I switched to a toothpaste for it.
If you do this:
1) use ONLY 3% hydrogen peroxide
2) make sure not to swallow any
3) rinse with water
Hydrogen Peroxide is the key ingredient in all whitening toothpastes and treatments. Like all chemicals, it is safe at a certain threshold, and dangerous in higher concentrations.
It is ok to rinse with the 3% undiluted, if you don't have sensitive teeth, and that would no doubt work even better.
