jcarnage – if you look at the list of ingredients in most tooth whitening products (including the strips) you may notice that the tooth whitening ingredient is some form of Hydrogen Peroxide. Just use hydrogen peroxide instead of your regular mouth wash.
Every morning and before bed after brushing and flossing use Hydrogen Peroxide as your mouth wash. You can buy hydrogen peroxide (3% in the brown bottle) at your local drugstore for about $2 for a 32 ounce bottle. Mix ½ ounce hydrogen peroxide with ½ ounce hot water and swirl in your mouth for about 1 minute (hydrogen peroxide is odorless and tasteless but it FOAMS and may sting your mouth a bit). Spit out (DO NOT SWALLOW) and then rinse your mouth out several times with cool water. A 32 ounce bottle will last about one month.
Hydrogen peroxide will not only whiten your teeth it also kills the bacteria in the mouth that causes bad breath and cavities.
For even more tooth whitening try a hydrogen peroxide and baking soda toothpaste (like Arm&Hammer Triple White).

Hate to break it to you but there isn’t any whitening toothpaste out there that actually whitens your teeth. If you want a whiter smile I suggest speaking with your dentist about some whitening trays. In the meantime… to keep your teeth strong and healthy, I suggest Crest ProHealth. I really like that toothpaste, the mouthrinse is excellent as well!! Don’t forget to floss!
