Ineffective Choices: That is because you are using ineffective products. This problem must be addressed in person with your dentist. They can determine if you need more intensive or more effective products/procedures to whiten your teeth.

Interesting lesson: While OTC products can remove surface stain, they can't change the intrinsic color of your teeth. See your Dentist for 1) Professional cleaning, 2) In-office whitening or Dentist supervised trays/whitening gel. These 2 steps will make your teeth much lighter. Follow up with OtC's to help prolong the color change. See your Dentist for regular professional care.

One more thing...: You seem to have tried everything except going to your dentist have having them whitened professionally. The products you are using are weak... you need stronger concentrations, and you can only get that at your dentist. Give them a call.

Teeth whitening: You can use over the counter tooth paste or crest 3D whitening strips or pens. However, they are not so effective and/or stable. OTC bleach and whitening tooth paste could be used as a supplement only. A professional teeth whitening without laser, followed by home whitening system with custom trays for the long term effect. You will be very happy with the results.
