Everyone wants to have pearl white teeth with a bright smile. While good oral hygiene and regular check-ups will help you get good teeth, sometimes you need a quick fix - especially if you want to beautify your teeth for a special event. Fortunately, there are ways to make your teeth whiter in under an hour! Get started with step 1 below for more!

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Use home remedies

1. 

   Use baking soda. Baking soda can effectively bleach your teeth in just a few minutes! This effect is due to baking soda is a mild abrasive that helps remove stains on teeth.
   • Use a dry cloth to clean teeth and saliva from teeth. Wet your toothbrush and dip it in baking soda. Then brush your teeth as you normally would, paying special attention to the 16 front teeth. Should brush your teeth for about 3 minutes.
   • Note that baking soda can erode tooth enamel if used for a long time. So brushing your teeth with baking soda every day is not a good idea. You should only apply it once or twice a week to whiten your teeth without damaging the enamel.

2. 

   
   
   Use hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen can be used to whiten teeth. It is safe to use hydrogen peroxide as it is very safe, as long as you don't swallow it.
   • One way to use hydrogen peroxide is to dip a clean washcloth in the solution, then gently rub it on your teeth. Hydrogen peroxide will remove stains through a chemical reaction, while a towel will help remove stains with a physical action.
   • Alternatively, you can rinse your mouth with a cap of hydrogen peroxide (which helps kill bacteria and freshen your breath) or dip your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide and brush your teeth.

3. 

   
   
   Eat strawberries. After the meal, you should sip some dessert strawberries. Strawberries contain folic acid, which helps to clean and peel stains, making teeth appear whiter.
   • You can also mash up a strawberry and mix it with a little baking soda to make a natural toothpaste.
   • Other foods that can help naturally clean and whiten teeth include apples, pears, carrots and celery.

4. 

   
   
   Avoid foods or drinks that can stain teeth. If you want to keep your teeth white, it's best to avoid certain foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, like coffee, black tea, red wine, grape juice, and curry.
   • If you drink any of these drinks, you can prevent stains by drinking with a straw, or applying a layer of Vaseline to your teeth before drinking.
   • Alternatively, you can chew on a sugar-free gum bar after eating or drinking it to help absorb new stains, and your teeth will look whiter.

Method 2 of 3: Use commercially available products

1. 

   Use whitening toothpaste. While it can't make a dramatic difference in just an hour (more effective if used for a long time), whitening cream also helps remove stains and make teeth brighter.
   • The whitening cream has abrasive particles that polish and wear away stains (without damaging the enamel). They also contain chemicals (like blue covarine) that adhere to tooth surfaces and help teeth look whiter.
   • To use whitening toothpaste, take a pea-sized amount, brush your teeth in a circular motion, holding the tip of the brush at a 45-degree angle to the gums.

2. 

   Use a white tooth patch. The whitening toothpaste is coated with gel peroxide, which helps to bleach and whiten teeth. Usually you should use two sets of whitening strips a day, each for 30 minutes - they will brighten your smile in just 60 minutes!
   • The whitening strips can be purchased without a prescription at pharmacies or supermarkets. Avoid buying brands that contain the ingredient "chlorine dioxide" as it can damage tooth enamel.
   • To use the whitening strips, take the patch out and stick one on the upper teeth, one on the lower jaw. Let stand for 30 minutes. There are types that dissolve after use, but others need to be removed.
   • For best results, you should continue to use the white tooth patch twice daily for two weeks.

3. 

   Use a whitening pen. Similar to whitening strips, whitening pens use a peroxide gel to bleach teeth.
   • Open the pen cap and twist to squeeze the cream out. Stand in front of the mirror and show your teeth, then use a pen to "sweep" the gel onto your teeth.
   • Leave your mouth open for about 30 seconds to let the glue dry. Try not to eat or drink for 45 minutes after applying the gel.
   • For best results, repeat three times daily for a month.

4. 

   Use a teeth whitening tray. Teeth whitening trays are another great option for speedy teeth whitening. These can be purchased without a prescription or designed by a dentist.
   • Squeeze some peroxide concentrate gel into the tray and attach it to your teeth.
   • Depending on the type of tray, you may only need to wear it for half an hour or leave it overnight. Although one use also helps whiten teeth, but if you want clear white teeth, you need to apply many times.
   • A dentist-designed tray can be expensive, but it fits your teeth snugly and makes the whitening process more effective than commercially available, one-size trays for everyone.

Method 3 of 3: Use teeth whitening therapies

1. 

   Specialist tooth cleaning. Make an appointment to have a dentist's appointment every six months.
   • This will help you have healthy teeth, prevent tooth decay and gum disease in addition to the beauty and whitening effect.
   • Your dentist can also do the whitening of your teeth in the dental room, similar to whitening with a home tray, but bleach is much stronger.

2. 

   Get laser therapy. Another very effective option is the laser whitening method. This can be quite expensive, but is quick and very effective.
   • You will be applied bleach gel to your teeth and wear gums. A laser or white light will be applied to the teeth to activate the bleaching gel.
   • You may have to visit the dentist a lot, depending on how white you want your teeth. Each session takes about 30 minutes.

Advice

• Brush your teeth every day.
• Brush your teeth right after eating so the food doesn't get stuck in your teeth and your breath doesn't smell bad.
• Avoid foods and drinks that stain teeth such as soy sauce, wine, cigarettes, and coffee.
• Don't drink energy drinks and soft drinks regularly, as they are high in sugar and will stain teeth.
• Brush your teeth after breakfast, after dinner, and before bed.
• If you are addicted to beverages that can stain your teeth (coffee, red wine, black tea, cola water, etc.), try using a straw.
• Drinking coffee and wine using a straw will help teeth stains.
• Suck a mixture of baking soda, salt, lime juice, and vinegar. Using the inside of a banana peel to brush your teeth can help whiten your teeth.
• Brush your teeth with a little baking soda.

Warning

• If you experience toothache or pain while using any of these treatments, stop immediately and make an appointment with a dentist. Rinse mouth thoroughly.
• Do not use bleaching too often as teeth can become abrasive. It should only be applied up to once a month.
