It's not a secret discolored Teeth are unattractive.

In fact, bright, white teeth is said to be one of the most important facial features people use to judge you when they first meet you (yes it sounds shallow but it's really human nature and I'm sure when you meet someone with really stained yellow teeth it's the first thing you remember about them).

It may sound unfair, but it's true and there's just something about ugly stained teeth that gives off the perception of unhealthy. There's really not many choices when it comes to whitening your teeth at home simply because there's only a few products out there that will bleach your teeth safely that you can get at the store.

Now let's talk about the most popular Teeth Whitening Formula which you can make at home with basic products you can get at your local grocery store.

So, what is the "Home Teeth Whitening" formula?

Simple, Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide.

You simply mix peroxide and baking soda so it forms a pasty substance then, brush your teeth with it.

The only problem with at home "formulas" is, unfortunately the fact that, to really brighten your teeth you need to keep the paste on your teeth for an extended period amount of time. By simply brushing you won't be able to remove old stains (it is however great for day to day brushing and maintenance).

This is why most Dentists recommend Tooth tray systems or Laser Whitening. Obviously the tooth tray system will be the more economical choice for most people. Laser Whitening can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

At home the really only logical choice is the tray system, because of the simple fact you need to keep the paste on your teeth and another major reason is because the % of hydrogen peroxide is higher (12.5% dental grade) then you buy over the counter.
