My teeth were yellowed because of an antibiotic prescribed
to treat respiratory infections in childhood; plus I had to
wear braces for 4 years. I paid about $300 for professional
teeth whitening from a dentist. First, a dental hygenist took
a mold of my teeth, both upper and lower, then a plastic
cast was made for me to take home. I injected a bleach
solution into the two casts and wore them over my teeth
for a few hours a day, a few times a week, over the course
of a month - six weeks.
The results are definately worth the extra cost if you
have yellowing from a similar set of circumstances.
(Quite a few children of doctors and dentists born during
that same time period have this dental discoloration from the
antibiotic, because their parents had free samples of the
medication.)

Whiter Teeth: With all of the teeth whitening kits on the market today, I cannot imagine why anyone would have to have yellow teeth. I do consider this somewhat of a "cosmetic item". Of course one could go to a dental office and spend $600 having their teeth whitened, and dental offices can sometimes go up to ten shades lighter on one's teeth in one sitting (or so I've heard) But -
