Natural Home Remedies

Finding natural ways to whiten your teeth is the healthiest way to go about keeping a bright, healthy smile. There is no reason to use commercially made whitening products that contain multiple chemicals when you can get the same results using common ingredients that aren’t harmful and that don’t have the possibility of carrying any side effects.

Use Baking Soda as a Stain Remover

Baking soda is used for a lot of things around the house, whitening teeth is just another one of them. Baking soda is very popular because it works so well to whiten and clean teeth. Using baking soda as a whitener for your teeth is easy. Simply make a “paste” with the baking soda, using a little water. Then brush your teeth with it just as you would with ordinary toothpaste. You may choose to let the baking soda sit on your teeth for a little while before rinsing your mouth, but it isn’t necessary in order to start seeing results.

Use Hydrogen Peroxide for Pearly Whites

This method is more like using a mouth wash than a toothpaste but it’s considered to be as effective when it comes to whitening stains on your teeth as baking soda is. It also works well to keep the bad breath away and germs at bay. Overall it cleans, disinfects and whitens the teeth all at once and naturally at that. Simply mix together one part peroxide to one part water then swish it in your mouth for up to 30 seconds and spit it out, then rinse. (more…)
