How to Whiten Your Teeth At Home
Yellow teeth are very embarrassing, and therefore, don’t want to smile and laugh.Luckily, you can have white teeth without spending your money on products that are filled with chemicals and don’t give the promised results.Not only smokers have yellow teeth, but also non-smokers have them, especially if they consume a lot of sugar.If you feel unconfident or insecure due to your yellow teeth, you should definitely try this natural remedy that will whiten your teeth!
Method 1:
Coconut oil can help you whiten your teeth in only 2 minutes!
You will need only 2 ingredients for this paste:
- 8 tsp baking soda
- 8 tsp virgin coconut oil
Mix well, place the mixture on your toothbrush and brush your teeth very nice and slowly. That’s it!
1. Baking Soda and Lemon Juice Paste
Baking Soda isn’t a shocker here. Sodium bicarbonate (its official name) is mildly abrasive; gently scrubbing away surface stains to return teeth to a whiter shade. It’s also very alkaline (the opposite of acidic) so I would think if you have a very acidic mouth or eat a lot of acidic food, it could help balance out the Ph, which would be useful as acid breaks down enamel-this is strictly speculation on my part.
It will also reduce the acidity of the lemon juice, which acts as a natural bleach of sorts. I use a mixture of baking soda and water on some days, and use the lemon juice on others, as I don’t want to overdo it.
Ingredients
- Several teaspoons of baking soda
- Enough lemon juice or water to form a paste
- A toothbrush
Directions
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 1 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 3 minutes.
2. 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 gunk, and the baking soda is an extra touch that you can choose to leave out if you’d prefer (I just like to add it to anything involving my teeth.)
Ingredients:
- 1-3 large strawberries
- A pinch of seat salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (optional)
Directions
Mash the berries into a pulp, and add a pinch of sea salt and ½ teaspoon of 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 5 minutes, then rinse. Do this nightly.
