6 Ways To naturally whiten Your teeth by Onukube1(f): 3:01pm On Nov 13, 2014
1. Brush After Drinking or
Eating

The best way, but not always
the easiest is to simply brush
your teeth after eating or
drinking something. This
takes a lot of persistence and
can even be kind of difficult
depending on where you are
at the time. Most food does
not stain teeth, but if you are
a coffee drinker or if you
smoke, you can pretty much
count on having discolored
teeth from staining. If this is
the case then having your
teeth cleaned every three
months may be in order,
besides trying some of the
natural remedies listed here.

2. Baking Soda and
Hydrogen Peroxide

This works great as a natural
teeth whitener. Many people
confirm to the fact that it
does make their teeth look
whiter. Mix a small amount
of hydrogen peroxide with a
small amount of baking soda
to make a paste. Brush your
teeth as usual, making sure
you brush those back teeth
too. Hydrogen peroxide is an
anti-bacterial agent and
works great as a total mouth
and gum cleaner and keeps
the mouth free of germs.
Baking soda is a gritty
substance like sandpaper so
be careful that you have
enough hydrogen peroxide
mixed in with the soda
because if you don’t it can
very well scrub the enamel
right off your teeth and
enamel does not grow back.
The paste should not be
gritty at all, and in fact it
should be a runnier paste
than a stiff paste.
Try making your own with
this homemade
remineralizing toothpaste
recipe or this homemade
probiotic toothpaste recipe.

3. Coconut Oil Pulling

Can it be true? Coconut oil to
clean your teeth? Just when
you thought you heard it all
when it comes to coconut oil,
along it comes to the rescue
as a teeth whitener. Some
people are attesting to their
teeth becoming whiter by
applying coconut oil to their
teeth after they brush. But
for most people, they are
praising the results of oil
pulling. Simply put a
spoonful of coconut oil in
your mouth and swish it
between your teeth for 5 to
20 minutes. Or add a few
drops to your tooth brush
and simple brush it on, or
add the coconut oil to a
corner of a clean wash cloth
and rub it on. Also, coconut
oil has antimicrobial
properties so it’s great for
your gums as well.

4. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

It makes sense that apple
cider vinegar would
eventually remove stubborn
stains on the teeth,
especially from coffee and
nicotine. It has been proven
that it does work but you
have to be consistent and it
takes a least a month of
continuous usage to see
results. Some say that using
ACV looks like you just got
your teeth professionally
cleansed. Be careful, as with
all acids, it can remove the
enamel on your teeth as well.
After brushing with ACV, you
will need to brush again with
regular toothpaste,
preferably a non fluoride
paste, or rinse your mouth
out really well.

5. Lemon or Orange Peels

There have been reports that
lemon and or orange peels
will also do the trick of
whitening your teeth. Guess
you don’t know until you try.
Here again, these food
products are very healthy
and good for your stomach
but the acid content might
eventually wear away the
enamel on the teeth. So if
you use lemon or orange
peel always rinse afterwards
to be on the safe side. A
good oral mouth rinse is
hydrogen peroxide because
it keeps breath fresh by
eliminating bad breath and
also is a very good bacterial
agent. Use half water and
half hydrogen peroxide,
swish around in your mouth
and leave in for at least a full
minute.

6. Strawberries

It has been said that
Catherine Zeta Jones whitens
her teeth with strawberries.
Who would have thought?
Tyra Banks tried this teeth
whitening trick on her show.
She simply mashed up about
four or five strawberries and
rubbed this yummy mixture
all over her teeth. Tyra Banks
teeth are already really white
from having them bleached
so you couldn’t really tell any
difference. Some people say
this really does work, and if
Catherine Zeta Jones rubs
her teeth with strawberries,
it must be worth giving it a
try. Some people say this
works right away. Rinse well
afterwards.
