Whiten your teeth naturally
Acts as an abrasive portion of the paste, physically scrubbing away stain-causing particles.
Whiter teeth is something that many people in our cosmetically driven world desire today.
With a bit of patience, you can naturally restore whiteness to your teeth.
There are several factors that play a part, including genetics, what kind of food and drink you consume, and how well you practice oral hygiene that can cause your teeth to go yellow.
Below are some ways to naturally whiten your teeth at home:
Baking soda and lemon juice paste
Baking soda is mildly abrasive; gently scrubbing away surface stains to return teeth to a whiter shade. It will also reduce the acidity of the lemon juice, which acts as a natural bleach of sorts. Use a mixture of baking soda and water on some days, and use the lemon juice on others, as to not overdo it.
Mix several teaspoons of baking soda with enough fresh lemon juice (or water) to make a paste. Wipe your teeth and any extra saliva off of them with a paper towel. Put a good amount of paste onto your toothbrush and apply. Leave the paste on for one minute, then rinse, so as to avoid the acid effecting enamel. If you are using just water you can leave it on for up to three minutes.
Strawberry, salt and baking soda scrub
Strawberries are high in Vitamin C, which can help break-down plaque that is causing your teeth to look yellow. It also has an enzyme called malic acid, which may help to remove surface stains. The salt acts as an abrasive portion of the paste, physically scrubbing away stain-causing particles, and the baking soda is an extra touch that you can choose to leave out if you’d prefer.
You will need one to three large strawberries, a pinch of sea salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda.
Mash the strawberries into a pulp, and add a pinch of sea salt and baking soda, if you’re using it. Wipe any extra saliva off your teeth with a paper towel, and then apply a generous portion of the mixture to a toothbrush and apply. Let the mixture sit for five minutes, then rinse. Do this nightly.
