Yes, peroxide and baking soda are natural whiteners so they will help, minimize, daily stain. Peroxide is the main ingredient in tooth whiteners. I couldn't tell you about the others "remedies".



I'm a dental assistant so here's my 2 cents. I would suggest the Crest White strips followed with peroxide and baking soda toothpaste (Crest or Colgate).



Keep in mind though that if you smoke, drinks a lot of dark liquids daily (coffee, tea, dark soda, even red wines) you will not notice that big of a difference because you are putting the stain back on.



Also, if you have sensitive teeth, be prepared for more sen. if you use any professional bleachers (like Crest whitening strips). The sensitivity will go away. Lastly if you have any tooth colored fillings or crowns, the bleach will not change the shade of them so you may notice that difference when bleaching your teeth.



Oh, the Listerine mouth rinse, again, is mainly a diluted peroxide rinse. It's not going to whiten your teeth like the strips will.



Hope this helped.

Reply:all this is fake and not true! don't believe any of them.

if you want your teeth to be white just brush them good three times a day, and drink milk or eat cheese that will make your teeth stronger. good luck
Reply:I whitened my teeth using baking soda + perixide. it worked for me =).. you can't do it every day though.... you can only do it twice a weeks MAX! or you'll hurt your gums. but It does work
Reply:they do make a baking soda and peroxide toothpaste!! its for whitening!! i dont think i would mix it up at home though!! never heard of any of others, so i wouldnt try those either!!! i have used the white strips and they work well!! be careful though as with any tooth whitening agents they can reduce the enamel on your teeth and make them hot/cold sensitive!
Reply:I have never heard of any of those rumors. I personally have used crest white strips several times in the last couple of years and they work wonders. In my experience, they are the best whitening product out there.
Reply:Crest Extra Whitening and Crest with Baking Soda and Peroxide are the best toothpastes I've found for whitening teeth. I did have my teeth professionally bleached four years ago with Opalescence 20% (not sure of spelling), and they're still white because of these toothpastes I have continued to use afterwards.
Reply:Nothing prevents stains. Anything you eat to some degree creates bacteria in your mouth and can leave a stain, so brushing after each meal helps.
