What are some methods to help make your teeth become whiter?

Depends..: Teeth are porous and therefore darken over time due to things we do, such as consuming staining types of foods (coffee, red wine, tea, grape juice, blue berries, etc) or smoking. So these may be contributing to the current tooth color, if you smoke, this is a great reason to stop. Seeing your dentist will help as they can explain various teeth whitening options and examine and clean your teeth.

Prescription gel: The best is trays with a prescription gel. You can use over the counter strips. There are also in the dental office treatments, using a high percent gel, heat, light, or laser. Don't waste your money on over the counter rinses or toothpastes.
