I suffer (put up with) a condition which makes my teeth darker then they really should be. I'm 6 feet tall, healthy, don't smoke or drink coffee. But my teeth can turn a dark gray if not cleaned and whitened atleast yearly. After going to my dentist in Cambridge for the 3rd of 3 visits to whiten my teeth I couldn't stand the pain any longer.

Best stuff I could find was bought at a local CVS and it's called Ultra Plus White Complete Teeth Whitening System.
