Teeth Whitening, strawberries? Options

[shanny]

this is a little odd.

i heard that rubbing strawberries across your teeth and then rinsing your mouth out with water makes them whiter. does anyone know if thats true?

[Chii]

i don't think that could be true...after all doesn't straberry juice stain your clothes...?

[pinayprincess]

i think the will get your teeth REDDER lol... i think its not true

i haven't heard of that but i've heard that washing your teeth with lemon juice helps it get whiter.

I duno, but i'm just sayin, if ur ever thinking about using whitening strips.... DONT use them... yeah i did this whole bio project on it and tested w/ 10 ppl. didn't work. waste of $. a lil off topic, but w/e

whoa, really?! i watched this thing on 20/20 where they llike tested all the types of whitning stuff. like crest white strips, that gel thing that you put on, and this other thing that looks like.. a retainer? o.O
well anyways, they said crest whitetstirps were the best out of all cause it got 3 shades whiter and the others barely got anything.
but if you do it like.. professional or something, it gets 10 shades whiter =P but its like $1,000 i think o_o

well anyways, ive never heard about the .. strawberry making your teeth whiter thing LOLS, sounds a bit odd actually.

Maybe they meant that the strawberry makes your gums redder thus making your teeth look brighter compared to your gums. Kind of like when people say wearing red lipstick makes your teeth look whiter.

i agree. but making gums redder. .seems odd to me.
eh; maybe you should try and tell us the results?

[simx]

That dosen't sound logical to me... how exactly would strawberries make your teeth whiter??.....

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

Maybe lemon juice helps...but I doubt strawberries do.
MetalChick77's idea seems logical.

actually the whitestrips do work. I use tham...so yeah. bUt I've heard the strawberry thing does work. Something about the seeds and the juice fights off the sugar and stains and stuff. I've never tried it, cuz I wouldnt wanna eat it afterwards, so instead I would eat it first and never get to rubbin em on my teeth. :D

[vampireduster]

i dont think it is true but if it is then wow

[joeyee]

hmm...dun think itz true....quite funny though

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

i for one don`t think it`s true. Maybe it`s a myth who knows, but then doesn`t that turn your teeth RED?

[moo.]

agreed

[pingpang_0811]

i haven't heard that b4!
maybe it's true but i'm not sure.

[multifaceted]

i never heard of that before... i shall go try -rubs strawberry on teeth-

[Looow]

actually the whitestrips do work.  I use tham...so yeah.  bUt I've heard the strawberry thing does work.  Something about the seeds and the juice fights off the sugar and stains and stuff.  I've never tried it, cuz I wouldnt wanna eat it afterwards, so instead I would eat it first and never get to rubbin em on my teeth. :D

Really? That's kind of cool. I should try it sometime except ..Yeah I'll eat the strawberries

they do work...
anyway strawbeery? doubt it works

[winterzflamez88]

for the ppl saying white strips worked, ok, maybe it works for you, but i tested them on 10 different people. (bio project)) we had them put the crest white strips on the top teeth and nothing the bottom teeth so we can compare then. at the end of 2 weeks, there was barely a difference between the teeth that got them and the teeth that didn't. at first, the teeth were a little whiter but after the people stopped using the strips for about a week, they faded back realy quick. I'm just sayin.... i think the gel stuff shuld proly work better. or the best one would b the dentist thing but that costs a fortune. but the strawberries...ehhh...

yea there was my little science report 4 the day *yawn* back 2 sleep

Yes, rubbing strawberries against your teeth whitens them. I read it in a magazine a few years back. It's not the flesh of the fruit though, it's the seeds. I'm definite rubbing strawberries against your teeth one night won't make a dramatic change, but over time there will be some kind of result.

[cleec]

*Rubbing it with lemon juice does not make your teeth whiter, it washes away the enamel off your teeth which is what makes your teeth white.

[Joss-eh-lime]

Maybe they meant that the strawberry makes your gums redder thus making your teeth look brighter compared to your gums. Kind of like when people say wearing red lipstick makes your teeth look whiter.

HAHA!

[jue]

err.. not sure
buh it would be nice if it really work

[xenosaga]

that's strange, i dont even use the whitening strips. i just brush my teeth everyday three times and they're white...but not really white

[lilnatcat]

I duno, but I'd rather eat the strawberries than rub it across my teeth~

Brush ur teeth at least twice a day~ Not to mention floss it at night coz u've been eating and stuff.....................
Drink milk, it give u calcium and whitens teeth AND ur nails~

[tmauze]

i doubt its true. try like rembrandt or something. i use it and it works well

[Rachel]

Enough, not only has the question/myth been answered, we have decided that it does work (thanks to karmelle and someone else), but also, this topic is stupid.

Closed, PM me if you have a problem with it.
