What does everyone here do to keep their teeth white? Not like a one time procedure but like home maintenance.

I use sensodyne enamel strengthening tooth paste, crest white mouth wash daily, and recently once a week crest 45 min strips.

Your teeth can only be so white. How white are you trying to get them? Teeth cleanings twice a year and brushing and flossing your teeth about the best you can do. They gonna buff your shyt at the dentist. Some people teeth just gonna naturally be whiter than others. The only way to get a very white set of teeth are veneers. Even then you would have to get BL2 or BL3. BL1 gonna have your shyt unnaturally white cause people teeth not that white in real life.

Drop the mouth wash. Dentists say thats just sugary water and actually bad for your teeth and cancerous
Its purpose is to freshen breath. but studies show it actually worsens your breath by throwing off the ph balance of your mouth. a better alternative for good breath is using a tongue scraper and flossing.

He’s talking about teeth whiteness. Yeah mouthwash is not necessary for shyt. If you get your teeth cleaned twice a year, and floss at least once a day and brush twice, you will not have any issues ever with your breath. A tounge scraper is an item everyone should have. But it’s honestly unnecessary if you brushing your tongue like you supposed to.

I don't think all this teeth whitening crap is worth it.

I've noticed that even if you don't have any procedure done, even if you don't use those whitening strips, a lot of the toothpastes now have mild whitening agents in them. And I find that my teeth have gotten sensitive over the past few years.

Not seriously where I routinely have pain or discomfort. But enough to be noticeable. Teeth aren't supposed to be bright white anyway. It looks unnatural.
There's a reason teeth were always referred to as "pearly whites".

I brush for 7.5 minutes, then use teeth whitening strips. Then afterwards, I gargle with water+bacon soda+vinegar for 14.5 seconds

Then I rinse it all out. Then use activated charcoal. Then do a full rinse

I brush twice a day, I stay away from drinks that stay like coffee and teas (i drink tea occasionally), mostly do not eat hard candy..Outside of that, I get 2 cleanings a year.


But I think its genetics more than anything. No BS I have the goat dental health. I'm 33 and have never had cavities or mouth pains. My wisdom teeth came in perfectly and even improved my mouth structure in some ways. Those 10 months of invisalign in 2020 are the only reason brush 2x a day. And only got them to close a few gaps in my teeth and lessen my underbite.

Teeth whitning is overrated. I've tried it and very few ppl noticed. I've learned if your teeth are clean and straight, ppl will only see clean and straight teeth. Found that out when I closed my gap and no one could tell the difference. My teeth always looks white because I have dark skin

I’m one of those people that gets ph thrown off from mouthwash. I always felt like it made it worse. There’s was a stretch where I was taking some vitamins that had my shyt KICKING (but I didn’t know that was the cause yet) so Id use some extra strong otc mouthwash and that felt like it made it worse AND gave me dry mouth.

I stopped using it altogether and my breath went back to normal. nikka was down bad for a sec.
