Whiter Teeth
Coffee stains, tobacco, food and juice are just some of the things that can stain your teeth and make your smile a little duller.
Of course these things also cause plaque and sensitivity around your mouth and although brushing your teeth twice a day helps get rid of the plaque and helps prevent cavities and decay, getting the whiteness back into your smile takes a little bit more.
Teeth whitening products have hit the stores hard in the past few years and many people are using them in their daily routine.
Some products give you back a natural whiteness in your teeth where as others make your teeth so white that they glow in the dark.
There are different ways to getting your teeth whiter from simple whitening toothpaste to the more technically advanced Laser tooth whitening surgery.
Top 5 Tooth Whiteners
Tooth paste
Colgate Total Advanced Whitening
Colgate total is just like any other tooth paste, it helps prevent cavities, and the build up of Plaque and of course it tastes mint fresh so it freshens your breath as well, the difference between Colgate Total toothpaste and a regular tooth paste is simply that Colgate contains a dual silica technology that removes stains and prevents new stains from forming, this brings out the natural whiteness of your teeth if used on a regular basis.
Directions for use: brush your teeth as normal at least twice every day.

Teeth Bleaching
At-home bleaching kits are the most popular whitening option. Mouth trays are usually made in one office visit, and your oral health care professional will provide a whitening brand suitable to your needs. Some trays are worn for an hour, others through the night.
Bleached teeth are not a natural white and leave your teeth a glowing white
Dental Surgery
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an expensive option to whiter teeth they are shells fitted by a dentist over your stained teeth, they come in the shade of white that you want and can be a natural looking white or they can have the bleached white look.
For more information make an appointment with your dentist.
Laser tooth whitening
There is now laser whitening or ‘power whitening. Where a rubber dam is put over your teeth to protect the gums, and a bleach product is painted onto your teeth.
Then a light or laser is shone on the teeth to activate the chemical. The light speeds up the chemical reaction of the whitening product and the colour change is a lot quicker using this procedure. Laser whitening is said to make teeth up to five or six shades lighter.Are you a writer? then why don't you be like me and sign up at hubpages today, you never know where it may lead- Register here please

I must admit I wish my teeth were whiter but I think the colour is more within and without and so not as naturally white as some other people. Good information here though. Maybe I will experiment one day. Thanks Lizzy.
