Help! I'm turning 13 and want teeth whitened?

Try Monkey Brand black toothpowder.  It has a charcoal ingredient but I'm not sure what else.  You dip your finger into some water and into the powder and use the pad of you finger instead of a toothbrush to polish your teeth and voila! bright white teeth.  Since it's a product from India, you may have to check the Indian emporiums in your area.  It is manufactured by Nogi & Co. Pvt. Ltd., Suren Road, Andheri (E), Bombay, 400-093, India.  If you don't have any luck with the emporiums I would write directly to the address given. One 200g. jar will last you a long long time and will probably be less expensive that whitening strips.

And I thought brushing twice a day does the job although not in an instant.

Goto your dentist for the best results. The over the counter stuff only does a little and can make you sick. For best results the dentist uses a uv light that truly bleaches your teeth.Your parents just spent a mint on braces, it doesn't make sense to do that and then not spend a little more so that they are white.

you're too young to be worrying about whittening your teeth, if your teeth are moderately discolored it is probably due to intrinsic health issues within the dentin of the teeth and not within the enamel. people these days are so concerned about the way they physically present themselves to the public ~ from wearing the most up to date clothing, colors shoes, make-up, facial/hair make-up, and yes ... the way that their 'smile' presents themselves to others. unless you are abusing your dentition by overuse of coffee/very darkened jamaican tea, smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing pitch off of pine trees to use as a 'gum', there is ABSOLUTELY NO REALISTIC REASON FOR YOU TO EVEN CONSIDER, AT YOUR AGE, IN TOOTH WHITTENING PROCEDURES!  GET A LIFE!  YOU SHOULD BE MORE INTERESTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHERS TO SIMPLY BE YOURSELF, BE MORE ACCEPTING OF REGULARITIES AND IRREGULARITIES IN YOUR PHYSIQUE, WORRY MORE ABOUT OTHERS IN NEED AND CONSIDER PERFORMING VOLUNTEERISM WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY, AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE AT THIS PERIOD AND TIME OF YOUR YOUNG AGE!!!  NOW ~ I WANT YOU TO GO!  Go ~ use your telephone to call that special person from one of your school classes, YOU KNOW ~ tha' one that you have the hots for. Give she/he a call, and schedule a social event to the movies, go hiking/camping out, enjoy the local hang out scene at the mall ... but what eva' you do, please don't waste it on YEDDA!  Your teeth do not need whittening, believe me.  If you think that I am wrong, please feel free to send me your most recent pictures of your teeth, and I will be more than happy to excuse myself if I am wrong.  mistydowg

Daisey, I know you want to look your best. Parents want you to be the best also. Why do you think they spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on your teeth? You want to whiten them the best way possible you say, so tell your parents and let your dentist do the job right. Don't mess around with cheap off the counter pastes or strips. The safest and best way is to go to those who love you most and who have invested much money in your teeth and  tell them what you want. Tell  them what you have considered, but you want to do what is best. They care about you. You probably have very nice teeth; don't mess things up now.

I think 13 might be a tad young to start whitening your teeth, but in case you want to try, you might stick with more natural products like baking soda. In fact, the best results can be had by combining baking soda, antiseptic, and a product like Nutrabrite , but at your age, I'd hold off on any whitening trays.

Daisy,

A dentist can professionally whiten your teeth. In the meantime I use two products together on my electric toothbrush. They are Supersmile Toothpaste and Supersmile Accelerator. They can be pruchased only through the internet, so you can google it for more information. Good luck in your search for a whiter, brighter smile.

ya a dentist can help you in whitening your teeth but if you are not want to go for them then you can try the products which are available in the market like crest white strips and all. A newly product Purely White is also in the market and working well, you can go for that too. Just before buying any product just go for its review from the web, that will help you a lot.
