1. 8 Quick Tips for
Whitening Your Teeth
Follow These Tips for Fast Ways to Whiten
and Brighten Your Teeth

2. 1. Use over-the-counter whitening strips.
O You can find several types of whitening
strips at your local grocery store. Before you
purchase a pack, ask your dentist or search
online for reviews of which brand of
whitening strips work best.

3. 2. Rub your teeth with hydrogen peroxide.
O Dip a washcloth in hydrogen peroxide and
rub your teeth with it. Combined with the
roughness of the cloth, peroxide will help
lighten the stains on your teeth.

4. 3. Use a whitening toothpaste.
O If you’re currently not using a whitening
toothpaste, switch to one. It won’t drastically
whiten your teeth, but it will help get rid of
new stains.

5. 4. Wear red lipstick.
O Red lipstick is such a contrast to “white”
teeth that it will automatically make your
teeth look brighter. Don’t be afraid to go big
and go red!

6. 5. Wear blue-based colors.
O Blue-based colors have cool undertones that
detract from the yellow splotches on your
teeth. Orange-based colors, however,
highlight the yellow in your teeth.

7. 6. Use bronzer.
O Bronzer provides a stronger contrast
between your skin tone and teeth. The
darker your skin looks, the whiter your teeth
will look. Make sure you use a bronzer with a
matte finish.

8. 7. Brush after every meal.
O Although it’s obvious,
brushing after every meal
does help keep your teeth
clean and white. It will
prevent plaque and build-
up from accumulating and
causing decay.
O Plus, your dentist will be
happy with your
consistency in brushing.

9. 8. Brush with baking soda.
O Get your toothbrush wet and
dip it in baking soda. Brush
for two minutes then rinse
your mouth out really well.
O It’s going to taste gross and
feel gross so try using
mouthwash to get rid of the
taste. If you notice a weird
tingling sensation, go see
your dentist because you may
have a cavity.

10. Above all, visit your dentist!
O Going to the dentist every six months (not just
for emergencies) is the best way to have
healthy teeth and a bright smile.
