I have heard of rinsing with it, but I started brushing with it cause tooth paste always left my mouth hurting and sticky teeth feeling, I started brushing with a bit ofwarm salt water....my teeth have never felt cleaner and my gums stopped hurting....this is my routine, brush (with a charcoal toothbrush) w/ salt water, floss and rinse. I just want to know if brushing with salt water is ok?

What is the most effective way to whiten my teeth- WITHOUT a whitening treatment?

Posted on May 1, 2011

I get my braces off in 2 weeks and I want a really white smile- like the girl on the crest whitening strips commercial has. I use Crest 3D whitening tooth paste already, and the only thing I ever drink is water, and I obviously don't smoke since I'm a teenager. I'm willing to try anything except professional whitening. Thanks!
