    Don't put white out on your teeth. It's a joke.

Transcript

One. Doesn't do a whole lot. Not research bad. Pretty expensive. Charcoal toothpaste. Negative four. It's too abrasive. It wears down the enamel on your teeth. Awful form. Baking soda. Three. Baking soda best actually really good. It's what you should be using instead of activated charcoal toothpaste. Whitening toothpaste. Four. It's basically some grit like baking soda plus fluoride or something healthy for the teeth. It's not going to whiten them, but it's gonna pull stain off. Whitening mouthwash. Two. It it doesn't really do a whole lot. Professional take home trays. Six. They're really good. Only problem is you have to make sure you're going to use them. And office whitening? 10. It's the gold standard. Like if you worst whiter teeth, do that. Compliance, tier. Doesn't require you to do a whole lot, but works really effectively. Whitening pens. Zero. Save yourself a ton of money. Just buy white out. Stick it on your teeth. Veneers? They're an eight. Only reason they're not a 10 is like there's indications. If you have to cut your tooth structure down just for whiter teeth, better ways to do it. But if you need them, yeah, they'll absolutely make your teeth whiter. Whitening strips? Those are a solid five. They work. You have to be compliant and you have to use them. One pack will not get you everywhere that you need to go better if you're consistent about using them, they are very effective.
