I heard a rumour floating around that you burn a piece of toast, scrape off the burnt part and brush that into your teeth. Can anyone verify this, or has at least anyone heard of it (or am I crazy?)

Well... People back in the colonial days used to brush their teeth with ashes from the fire. I don't think it'd really do anything but be some extra abrasiveness that could help to remove surface stains.
And to the original poster: Its called "Simply White", I have it. I don't like it, because it tastes nasty and makes me drool because I have to keep my gums from my teeth for so long and then it gets all foamy and gross!

LOL at the burnt toast suggestion!!!!! Too much...
Crest Whitestrips worked well for me, but I only put them on once a day, not twice as recommended. For tooth sensitivity, just use Sensodyne toothpaste while doing the strips.
I'm thinking of doing the strip method again. I took up smoking again and that really stains your teeth.

this is pretty odd, and i don't think i would ever do it, but rubbing charcoal on your teeth is supposedto whiten them...

I'm pretty obsessed with my teeth. As soon as I got my braces off I asked my dentist if I could us whitestrips and he said they were safe as long as I kept them off my gums, so I did, and I noticed a huge improvement, I used the 10-day Premium Set. I now brush my teeth for 3 minutes in the morning and night with Crest Vivid White, and before brushing I have a Listerine pre-brush mouthwash, and after brushing I have a regular whitening mouthwash that comes with it. I dont think theyve made my teeth much whiter, maybe a little, but its certainly kept the white colour the whitestrips gave me around a year ago!

I used WhiteStrips twice in maybe a year and a half and the last time I had to stop because my teeth were so sensitive. It ached really bad shortly after they were applied.
I've also used Crest NightEffects twice also and am at the end of the 14 day period for this kit (the last one was years ago). My teeth are whiter, but not as much as with the WhiteStrips. The kit was $13 at WalMart. This is much easier as far as sensitivity goes - I don't have any problems.
