natural tooth whitener

Apparently, I have worn the enamel off my teeth by using Rembrandt toothpaste for a period of time. I bought the hydrogen peroxide whitener but it hasn't worked. My teeth have a dark look. Of course, I am a regular flosser. Anything natural out there that would help restore enamel or anything natural that would help them become whiter? Thanks

If you have worn the enamel off the only layer left is the dentin which is always darker than enamel.. For that reason bleaching is out of the question since it will not bleach dentin and it could harm the nerve that is now closer to the surface. Porcelain veeners or crowns are your option now.
