Advice on Teeth Whitening Discussion Thread

I've always been a bit wary of these whitining things 'cos I've got several crowns and I don't want to end up with different shades of teeth! Not that I'm vain or anything!!! :-/

just tried the bi-carb+ordinary toothpaste thing...makes teeth feel V-E-R-Y clean! Thanks for the tip ;D ;D

I made my experiment yesterday but used dried mint rather than sage (sage still too fresh to crumble).

Mixed 4 tablespoons of bicarb with a large pinch of dried and pulverised peppermint leaves. Added 2 drops of peppermint oil and 4 drops of tea tree oil (antiseptic).

Put on the toothbrush and cleaned my teeth, then asked my teenage daughter (who has no qualms in telling me the hard truth) if my breath is ok.

She loved it so much that now she is using my concoction too, and so is my son and his friend, whose teeth are going yellow for too much junk food!
