What's the best way for me to whiten my teeth?

Question

I drink a lot of coffee, and I've noticed my teeth are starting to turn brown. I use Colgate whitening toothpaste and I use Scope mouthwash (I don't floss because it tends to make my gums bleed for some reason).

I heard that baking soda and/or peroxide every few days or once or twice per week will work, but I haven't actually tried it.

What do you think the best thing would be, aside from not drinking coffee anymore?

Activated charcoal, brush with it and leave on teeth for about 5 min. personally I have never tried it, just because I haven't been able to find it, but there are lots of before and afters online that show promising results. Also its far less abrasive on the enamel than baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.

Btw you should probably begin flossing, your gums will stop bleeding if you keep it up.

Try oil pulling. Get a tablespoon of oil (your choice but most people prefer coconut) then gargle it in your mouth for 3-6 minutes. Spit it out in the bin and rinse your mouth out, then brush your teeth. Do this in the morning for it to be more effective. Do this everyday and you will notice results.

Hi, friend following is a dentist opinion 
Generally, tooth staining due to coffee is mild so dentist can make scaling of your teeth. I think this will be enough treatment and you will get your smile back.
Hope this will help. 
If you have still any doubt i will give you direct info from dentist.
