Today\u2019s the day! It\u2019s Christmas Eve, and it\u2019s time to smile, greet the family, and take cozy pictures. There\u2019s just one problem: Your teeth have a yellowish tinge. While there\u2019s nothing wrong or unhealthy about having yellow teeth, it\u2019s okay to want to change them. (And closing your mouth for every picture would be very difficult to accomplish.) However, professional whitening appointments can cut down your savings dramatically, and regular toothpaste isn\u2019t guaranteed to work. Yet the fight to whiten teeth doesn\u2019t end there. We\u2019ve compiled several tricks to prevent stains before they happen, remove set-in stains, and brighten your smile.<\/p>\n

To brighten all your teeth, try peroxide wipes.<\/h2>\n

Peroxide \u201cbleaches\u201d enamel to nix yellowing. But you don\u2019t have to pay for expensive peroxide whitening strips to get the job done. Instead, create your own \u201cstrips.\u201d To do: <\/em>Soak cotton rounds in 1 teaspoon each of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water; add to a zip-top bag. Prior to an event, wipe one on teeth and let sit 30 seconds, then rinse. <\/p>\n

Or<\/em> try a peroxide-mouthwash mix. <\/h2>\n

TikToker Kristen Machado went viral for this simple trick<\/a>, which she uses right before parties and big events. To do: Combine three parts mouthwash with one part hydrogen peroxide (diluted, 3 percent). Sprinkle in a little baking soda, and mix the solution. Then rinse with it after you brush your teeth. <\/p>\n

\n

A word of caution: Don\u2019t brush your teeth every day with this solution. It can erode your enamel, make your teeth more sensitive, and even make them appear yellower over time, according to experts.<\/p>\n

To block red wine stains, enlist seltzer.<\/h2>\n

Tannins <\/em>in red wine, cola and coffee cause proteins, sugars, and carbs to stick to enamel, leaving behind stains. But seltzer\u2019s bubbles fizz on teeth to whisk away dulling residue. To do: Swish with seltzer or sparkling water between sips. <\/p>\n

To remove set-in stains, grab a banana peel.<\/h2>\n

Banana peel\u2019s potassium, magnesium, and manganese act as natural bleaching agents to break down stains. To do: <\/em>Rub teeth with the inside of a banana peel for two minutes; let sit 10 minutes. Brush off residue with a dry toothbrush; rinse. <\/p>\n

To get a professional-looking smile immediately, try tooth paint.<\/h2>\n

This one sounds strange, but it\u2019s a good solution when you\u2019re in a pinch. Chrom Tooth Polish<\/a> can be applied to your teeth just like nail polish. The difference? You can quickly chip it off whenever you like, and it doesn\u2019t damage the teeth underneath. The polish lasts for about 24 hours, and the company claims that it\u2019s non toxic, vegan, and cruelty free. <\/p>\n

Note: Make sure to visit your dentist if you notice any serious discoloration \u2014 don\u2019t just cover it with tooth paint. It may be a sign of an urgent dental issue.<\/p>\n
