I really want to look like a celebrity :cool:
pros: your teeth are white and sparkly like a celebrity
cons: you have to buy a toothbrush and toothpaste, which can be costly.

not worth it, with the cost of petrol and everything... and you could get hit by a meteor on the way there or something like in that toyota advertisement.

Depends on how you're going to do it.

I whiten every now and then, using Pearl Drops, which costs about $30. I realise I am doing damage to my teeth, but I am vain as fuck. My teeth were pretty coffee stained at the time.

It's not intensely white now, its natural looking, but definately several shades whiter.

But if I had the money I'd go to the dentist so I'm not hurting my teeth.

umm
i got my teeth gosmiled whitened

it was on a cruise ship about a month ago
and only cost like US$200 or something

well anyway
i recommend gosmile as teeth went about 4 shades lighter on top, and 3 on bottom.
i also used these capsule things that i put on my teeth twice a day for a week. you're supposed to do that every other month.
only did it like once after
ummm and yeh


it did lift stains and made them brighter
but cause it was a cheapy option, didn't achieve maximum whiteness

so that was a con/


a pro was that no sensitivty, could eat like 20mins later
and yeh
brighter smile
:)

Not really. By getting a tan, you promote contrast between your skin colour and the teeth which in turns allows the colour of the teeth to stand out. Unless you have really white teeth, that won't work.

i use this toothpaste that is made for smokers. I dont smoke or anything. But for me it really whitens my teeth!
Oh and stop drink anything like coke or coffee cause they can yellow your teeth!
Hope this helps

hehe.
which could explain the fact that black people have really white teeth.
(the contrast between their skin and their teeth).

im not being racist.
but my art teacher at school (who is white) has a black husband,
and she was telling us how when its pitch black, you can only see his eyes and his teeth at night.

I can imagine her sex life with her black husband would be.

wife 'turn on the lights'
husband (smiles with the bright white teeth in pitch darkness)
wife 'thank you baby'

I was told this by my friend who models for model co.
Strawberries make your teeth whiter.

And the You'll love Coles toothpaste contains the same amount of active ingredient as the products you buy at the dentist,
and it's only two bucks.
