I saw a forum a while ago on teeth whitening, sorry I cant find it so I have started a new one. Does anyone know any tricks/products which actually whiten teeth. I am a non smoker and I dont drink coffee, I brush my teeth twice a day but my teeth are still a bit yellow and it bugs me.
P.s I couldn't find a better place to put this than deoderants.

Hiya, well I do oil pulling and use virgin cold pressed coconut, its basically swishing the coconut around your mouth like you would with listerine but for about 20mins. You start of doing it for as long as you can, I think my first time was 8mins then increase to 20mins, then of course spit it out then brush your teeth. I have also noticed my teeth are quite a bit whiter, now I have horrible weak sensitive teeth and have tried so many whitening products over the years but nothing has satisfied me as much as oil pulling. Give it a google and see what you think, you can use other oils but I prefer coconut as I also use it on my eyelashes and cuticles. Good Luck
Hi Jenni029 everyday is best, I got into the habit for about 6 weeks then went away for 2 weeks and I really missed the feeling on my teeth, so have got back into the habit. I actually need to research how long you should do it for but I'm so happy with results its included in my morning rituals, I don't take 20mins in the shower but by the I've got in, put my moisteiser on after, done my hair etc the time has flown by, didn't take long to get use to.
Just been reading an interesting wee blog that suggests tumeric can be used to whiten teeth.
http://amberlilynaturals.com/turmeric-whitens-teeth/
The blog points to the above website but she actually mentions using tumeric in the following manner:
"So, my newest invention is a mixture of coconut oil, baking soda, and turmeric. I mix these elements together, then fill a tooth guard, and leave it sitting on my teeth for about 10 minutes. Then I brush. This promotes shiny, white teeth without the use of peroxide or chemicals."
Just thought you might be interested in this if you're doing the pulling challenge.

Hi AdriannaTh - check out this article for more info on oil pulling :) xo (And welcome to the forum!)
I've been think about this the other day and I really want to try it. I think I'm will do some more research on it first. I have a metal retainer on my bottom teeth, does anyone else who has this or braces do oil pulling? And if so, does the oil have any impact on it at all. I wouldn't think it would, but I heard it's bad to do if you have braces and it's seems to be a myth to me and I haven't heard the logic behind it.
Miss qt, do you just mean that piece of wire attached behind your front teeth? I have that and I oil pull and I havent noticed any issues from it. On another note, are you just going to keep yours on forever? I got my braces off at 15, or maybe 16 so I've had it on for 13 years now. I'm paranoid that if it gets taken off, my teeth will move!
Rezee, a dentist told me that after having braces your teeth could move at any time, even 20 years later. Mine have definitely moved. The same dentist said they would never be as bad as they were before braces as my bottom teeth now act as a natural retainer to my top teeth (I didn't even have a proper 'bite' pre-braces!)
Yes rezee that's exactly what I have. I no longer have braces but have a permanent wire behind my bottom teeth. I was told that my teeth could move after the braces had been taken off and the retainer is there to prevent movement. That's good to know that oil pulling hasn't had any impact on the retainer then :) I tend to get a bit of plaque in my front bottom teeth where the retainer is. Have you noticed that oil pulling reduces plaque at all?
No, I haven't really noticed any difference in plaque reduction. Yes tht is te down point to the wire though! I need a filling in between my top two teeth and im pretty sure its because of the wire. I just like how coconut oil makes my teeth feel, like it helps them feel cleaner plus whitens them a bit too.
Try this, Tom's if Maine Natural Antiplaque Tartar Control & Whitening- they use authentic natural ingredients. They also use zinc citrate sourced from zinc. A naturally accurring mineral and xylitol, a natural ingredient derived from birch trees or corn. Plus, natural flavoring for a taste that will make you look forward to brushing.
