Need tips for whitening teeth that actually stay white
Discussion options
I've tried a bunch of stuff - strips, toothpaste, even DIY baking soda hacks. They work okay at first, but after a week or two, my teeth just slide back to their usual shade. It's pretty frustrating, you know? I'm tired of wasting money on short-term fixes. Has anyone found something that genuinely keeps teeth looking brighter for more than a couple weeks? Open to anything at this point, lol.

Totally get this frustration...my daughter had the same issue. Dentist recommended custom trays with professional gel. Bit pricier upfront but honestly, results lasted way longer than strips ever did. Might be worth checking out?
Custom trays worked wonders for me too, but honestly, the biggest difference came when I cut back on coffee and soda. Not easy, I know...but less staining drinks really helped keep my teeth brighter longer. Might wanna give that a shot alongside professional whitening.
