Crest white strips and Crest whitening toothpaste...I've heard the listerine whitening mouthwash is good also.

The crest white strips are gross and makes your mouth foam...so I didn't complete the process.

Good tips though!

Baking soda and peroxide does work well and you cant get any cheaper than that.....lol!

yes, my grandmother always had us use that paste (baking soda and peroxide)...bubbling fun, eck, but is a great abrasive to clean the teeth!!

Forget about anything you brush or rinse with.  The keys are contact time and concentration.  Carbamide or hydrogen peroxide both work equally well, but you do need a fitted tray to keep the concentration in contact with your teeth.  You can get the same results with trays as with lasers, but it takes a couple of weeks.  Strips will work, but if your teeth aren't in almost perfect alignment,they don't fit well, and there can be a problem with foaming.  Try the Oral-B strips as they cover more teeth than the Crest version.  Or save your $$ and do it right with a dentist dispensed tray system.  Very effective, and shouldn't cost more than $300.  BTW, baking soda is also a waste of time.  It disolves so fast it has virtually no cleaning power in the mouth. It is a marketing gimic of the toothpaste manufacturers because it does leave a fresh taste in your mouth.  

Not a dentist, but I do play one on tv.
