What is an easy and fast way to get bright movie star teeth with out maying a million dollars for it?

Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips (though I have heard decent feedback on the Aquafresh whitening trays), some more than others. Our office uses Crest Supreme which are much stronger than what you can buy in a drugstore and don't cost that much more ($60.00 vs $30.00). You can purchase the drugstore version, but do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar or plaque) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). The strips are probably your best low price alternative, much less than in office whitening or custom trays (about $500.00). You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again.
Good luck!

Maybe about once a week, get some baking soda and get it a little wet, dip your toothbrush in it and brush your teeth with it. Don't do it too often though, because it's not especially good for your teeth.
i got two words for you: tooth brush, :)
While it's probably not healthy to do this excessively, you can whiten your teeth by brushing them with hydrogen peroxide.
Hi, soccer chick,
There are many products that whiten your teeth, most being available from chemists, etcetera.
I am a dental assistant and would always advise patients to have whitening done in surgery, but not everyone can afford it, so I then tell them to try at-home kits.
I advise you to read reviews of products before you buy them, as some kits have very little effect on your teeth.
I once tried the Rapid White Pro kit, but found the results disappointing.
You could try Boots (UK) www.boots.com, they do many whitening kits at affordable prices.
Good luck in finding a kit.
Keep smiling,
IC.
