I had my teeth whitened and they were great at first, but have since regressed. What can I do to make whitening last longer?

Q.
Hello, I have a question about teeth whitening. 3 months ago I went to a dentist and had them perform the “Zoom” teeth whitening treatment. My teeth prior to the zoom were yellow (pretty bad). Yet after the two hour treatment I had movie star whiteness to my teeth!. There was a difference of about 11 shades at least. They were as white as can be for a few days, however, I then started to have some serious regression. Now mind you that I used to be a tea drinker and smoker, but never over the past 2 years have I had a cigarette, or any alcohol, nor tea, nor coffee, or anything that would case my teeth to stain. Therefore, the regression my teeth were going through had nothing to do with those substances that darken your teeth. So since the three months since I had the Zoom treatment done my teeth are brighter (about 5 shades) than the yellow teeth I had before, but there is still a yellow tint to them, and they are nowhere near the level I had when I had that bright hollywood style for the first few days after I left the dentist following my Zoom treatment. So my question is…is there anyway I can not only achieve but also maintain that bright smile for long durations, like months a year at a time. I did also buy a take home bleach kit from the same dentist to try and help maintain my pearly white teeth, but the kit only gets my teeth a few shades whiter, which only lasts for 12 hours before the whiteness is gone and it goes into regression. Please help, all the treatments I’ve tried have only got my teeth white temporarly. And thank you for taking the time to read this doctor.,

Can baking soda help whiten my teeth?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have heard a lot about using baking soda to whiten teeth, I’ve always thought of it as an unsafe method, and despite speaking to those who have done it, seeing that they’re teeth don’t appear damaged, I still am not entirely convinced that this method is at all effective long term, and as a result would cause bad affects on your teeth. I would like to know what you think of this, and also if there are any alternatives to teeth whitening which aren’t damaging or costly. Thank you,
