Whitening our teeth is one way to maintain ourselves publicly in this generation. Instead of highlights and spray tans, many use this practice as a self-care regimen. 

The desire to have beautiful, white teeth needs no real explanation. One of the things people notice on their 20-second impression is if you have a sweet smile. 

However, If you do not want to go to a professional to whiten your teeth, here are some inexpensive and accessible ways to do it at the comforts of your home. 

Crest 3D White Toothpaste - Radiant Mint

Using Crest 3D White Radiant Mint Whitening Toothpaste will remove up to 80 percent of the surface teeth stains and will protect your teeth from future stains.

Not only will it protect them versus cavities, but it will also toughen your tooth surface.

Its taste is not too sweet or not too bitter with its perfect tasting mint. It does an outstanding job of keeping every mouth feeling clean all day, and of course, you will also notice the improved brightness of your pearly whites. 

Over 100,000 people have already tried this toothpaste and continue to be impressed after every use. This is a go-to favorite of many. Plus, it is incredibly cheap!

Cali White Activated Charcoal & Organic Coconut Oil Teeth Whitening Toothpaste

If you want to go all-natural, the Cali White Activated Charcoal & Organic Coconut Oil Teeth Whitening Toothpaste is the top-selling whitening toothpaste in Amazon. It is there for a reason. 

Have you read about activated carbon and oil pulling to fight your current coffee and soda addiction? With its vegan ingredients and fluoride- and sulfate-free features, use this carbon toothpaste to whiten your teeth without risking your life from the chemicals. 

What is better is that the carbon will not stain your skin and counter, unlike the other toothpaste stains that stay for years.

Opalescence PF 35% Whitening Gel

It is one of the many favorite whitening gels out there. The brand is known for whitening products in the dental industry, and many dentists recommend this brand instead of others. 

This whitening gel contains Carbamide Peroxide, the first ADA-accepted syringe-delivered take-home bleaching gel that can give you whiter results after 30 minutes with little to no fuss. 

If you have already white teeth, use this and their toothpaste to maintain the whiteness of your teeth to get your desired shade.

Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous White Whitestrips

Many have imitated this, but the original came from Crest, and it is still on every top teeth whitening products list. Even the American Dental Association agrees, giving the Crest 3D White Whitestrips its seal of approval in 2017. 

According to Crest, their strips can remove up to 10 years' worth of stains from smoking, soda, coffee and wine. If you use the full treatment, the results can last up to six months or longer. 

Unlike previous formulas, you can drink water while whitening your teeth. These specific 3D Whitestrips have upper and lower grips which keep them in place.

Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste

Want a simple approach to whitening your teeth? This specific toothpaste does not contain any dyes, flavors, or sweeteners -- just pure peppermint.

It lacks the sweetness of many brands because Tom's of Maine leans towards providing ingredients that are all-natural as possible. If you are looking for a fluoride-free alternative, this toothpaste is for you. 

The primary purpose of this toothpaste is to improve your oral health while preventing plaque and whitening the teeth. With consistent use, the plaque-fighting and whitening combo can brighten your smile while protecting the teeth and gums.

Though this is not advertised as a gentle whitening toothpaste, many users experience that it does not aggravate sensitive teeth (a sure bonus for those who want a natural-based toothpaste).
