My daughter is 11 and was concerned about the color of her teeth. She asked the dentist about it and he suggested Gly-oxide. It can be found at your local drugstore. It's works well and is not harsh like modern cleaning kits (it's also cheaper).

Hi,
I am a dental student and I was concerned by some of the remedies shared on
your tooth whitening section.As for lemon juice... don't do it! It's an acid
and can harm your teeth. You may end up with a LOT of cavities and irreparably
damaged tooth enamel.
The reason that lemon juice "works" is that it causes the teeth
to lose calcium (which gives teeth some of their off-white color). Calcium
is a major component of healthy teeth, and once it is lost, your teeth become
very susceptible to decay. DO NOT use lemon juice for whitening.If you choose
to brush with strawberries, be sure to brush your teeth IMMEDIATELY afterwards
with fluoride toothpaste and also FLOSS. The sugar and acid in the strawberry
will harm your teeth more than it will help if
you don't immediately brush your teeth with regular toothpaste. Also be cautious
of brushing too vigorously as the strawberry seeds could damage the gums (or
even the teeth).The best home methods are baking soda or hydrogen peroxide.
Try to
stick with these. Remember that these are not a substitute for brushing with
fluoride toothpaste -- you must brush with fluoride toothpaste after ANY whitening
method to prevent tooth decay.Thanks for sharing this with your readers!

Instructions: I would just like to say that Vitamin C will damage
teeth quicker than anything else. So brushing with Lemon juice is BAD. It
makes your teeth whiter at first because it breaks down the composition of
your teeth...first the stained layer, then the regular layers of enamel until
you are getting them pulled. I would suggest only using lemon juice when brushing
for a short time, and very sparingly!

Take
some foil and fold it to form to your teeth. Take alittle toothpaste and bakingsoda
and mix together really well. Put some of the mixture into the foil and place
on your teeth. Leave on for one hour everyday. Brush teeth normally afterwards.
You will notice whiter teeth in just a few days.

Ingredients: Wood Ash
Instructions: This is an update to the suggestion to brush with wood ash.
The reason wood ash whitens yourteeth is because it contains potassium hydroxide
(aka lye). However, only hard wood ash contains significant concentrations
of potassium hydroxide, soft wood ash does not.Before lye was available commercially,
soap was made by leeching the potassium hydroxide from hard wood ash and then
combining it with tallow (rendered animal fat).
You may want to exercise caution when using hard wood ash too often as a tooth
whitening agent.The harshness of the potassium hydroxide could significantly
damage your teeth over time.

i read the teeth brightening method and realized those people do
not tell the the types of peroxide to use or they do not know
about it. there are two different grade. the tech. grade you can not swallow
but the fruite grade is save for internal use. my son is 22 years old and
has serious skin problems. i am giving him the fruit grade dilute with bottled
water and it works the wonders. it was introduced to me
by zion church fellows.

Ingredients: fresh crunchy veggies
Instructions: eating fresh crunchy veggies and fruits such as: carrots, broccoli,
celery, apples, strawberries, and cucumbers can help whiten your teeth. remember
that any food or beverage that can stain a white t-shirt, can stain your teeth.
I've worked in the dental field for years and have seen many teeth damaged
because people thought that brushing with baking soda or eating lemons whitened
their teeth.

Ingredients: Baking Soda, Peroxide, & a Minty toothpaste
Instructions: Start out by taking some baking soda & putting it on your toothbrush add a few droplets of peroxide & apply your toothpaste. Brush your teeth as normal. Afterwards, if you still have a baking soda & peroxide taste brush your teeth with just toothpaste. When brushing is complete use peroxide as a mouthwash then rinse with water. Never swallow, due to the nasty stuff the peroxide takes off. Also only due this 2 to 3 times a week. Baking soda is abrasive & if you use it to much, the enamel on your teeth will be brushed away.

Before you brush your teeth gargle peroxide. It makes it all bubbly and doesn't have a strong taste, but the taste is not very pleasent. After you gargle as long as you can brush your teeth to get the nasty taste out. It also will brush away everything you just gargled off. It really works and it is safe for use in your mouth.
I heard this one on the Home Shopping Network. Just crush a strawberry (or berries) and put the pulp on a tooth brush. Brush. And then brush again with baking soda, or regular toothpaste (maybe baking soda and peroxide, tastes better the regular baking soda)!
