Go see a hygienist?
well, i think brushing 5 times a day is a bit over the top because it wears down the enamle which is like a protective coating on the teeth and if thats not there then they become yellower and harder to keep clean looking.
also, use mouth wash and a good whitening toothpaste, not like a cheapy one
if that doesnt work go and see someone :)
make sure you read the label before buying whitening toothpaste to because this can seriously damage your teeth lol
Or just ask your dentist, they recommend & sell them xDQuote:

Maybe get like a whitening type thing, that you apply every now and then to how you want it, or a special whitening toothpaste.
I agree. I think theres a toothpaste called 'Pearl Drops' which I used to use. It's not to expensive and it's really good!Quote:

Brush with white paint. Not the waterbased one.

Buy Colgate whiter, and invest in some Mouthwash and Tooth Polish.
bleach them
Apparently lemon juice, although I wouldn't recommended it since it supposedly erodes the enamel away or something.
Ask your dentist, I got one within 2 weeks it worked.
He also said do not rinse your mouth out but spit out the excess paste in your mouth.
This would keep your breathe fresher for longer, let it clean your teeth longer and keep your teeth healthy.
OMG IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!Quote:

Pearl Drops
it is quite a cost, but it works.
its toothpaste that whiten's and cleans (Hollywood Shine, is one of their brands)
~Google search ; here
they also have a 'Instant White' product which turns teeth white as you brush it on.
it's about £5 for the tooth paste
i heard things like calcium? and certain kinds of toothpaste?
Would be awesome if I could just use Pearl Drops whitening products for a few days and erode away a small amount of enamel and then continue to brush regularly and they would stay that way.
Lol, you got acid erosion?Quote:

Some people get this when they have a fluoride deficiency but can sorted at the dentist.
Reading this reminds me that they have a tool to remove it slightly.Quote:
