Just use bicarbonate of soda on your toothbrush, if you don't like the taste add some mint essence - voila homemade toothpaste

again most of them will break down the enamel you can get the ones that have enamel protection but they will only work to a certain point and when you whiten you will weaken the enamel and increase the hue of darkness the next time. does that make sense?? for example... if you whiten with over the counter you will make it easier for them to be tarnished in future so will need to keep whitening more and more and eventually use stronger methods which could potentially do more damage at that point depending on what you use. some of the toothpaste methods are gradual whitening so will only whiten to a certain point and will have the best results if you cut out the damaging foods/drinks. but if you stop using them your teeth will darken quicker than they did before you used them. be sure you use one with enamel protection steer clear of citrus and acidic foods and drinks too.

the tea or any sodas would be the kicker. i would be very careful with over the counter and 'home remedy' whitening as they can damage the enamel and make your teeth very sensitive. light treatment to whiten is your best bet. They use a gel with light and doesn't damage your teeth as bad as the others.

You had a scale and polish recently? My friend had one before her wedding and it buffed them up a treat!

Now that's a thought. I haven't, but I also don't have a dentist so I'm off to hunt for a dentist now
