Whitening Teath

Every time when you get your picture taken, you hear "Say cheese! Smile!" So you do — you open your mouth and show your teeth. So, how to whiten your teeth naturally, are there recipes that can help you on the way?


There are home whitening methods and you can find them online but very often it does not constitute medical advice, then before you try to use some of them please see your doctor to get medical advice, it’s important! Well, one of the metods is based on malic acid, which acts as an astringent to remove surface discoloration. Combined with baking soda, strawberries become a natural tooth-cleanser, buffing away stains from wine, coffee, and dark sodas. I repeat ones more, it’s no replacement for a bleaching treatment at your dentist’s office, “this is a fast, cheap way to brighten your smile,” says Adina Carrel, DMD, a dentist in private practice at Manhattan Dental Arts in New York. “Be careful not to use this too often, though, as the acid could damage the enamel on your teeth.”

You need:
1 ripe strawberry
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking soda until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking soda mix. Rinse. (A little floss will help get rid of any strawberry seeds.)
