How to whiten your teeth naturally
You don't need chemicals or expensive whitening products: you can get a naturally bright, white smile. Here are 8 natural ways to whiten your teeth:
Tip 1: Mix a spoonful of fresh lemon juice with a small spoonful of salt. Dip your toothbrush in the mixture and brush it over your teeth, and stains will quickly disappear. Lemons, with their natural vitamin C, are very good for your teeth. Instead of using mouthwashes that contain chemicals, let the vitamin C in lemon help make your teeth whiter. Try squeezing a lemon into a glass of water or a cup of tea and drinking it; after a while you will notice the difference.
Tip 2: Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables such as apples, celery, carrots, leafy greens and lettuce… The natural acids in these plants, together with the high fiber content of apples, help remove plaque and make your teeth whiter. Or eat strawberries, one of the most effective foods for whitening teeth. The tiny seeds in strawberries help scrub plaque off your teeth. Strawberries are also very low in calories and contain no fattening sugars.
Tip 3: Use baking soda. Besides being used for baking and being cheap and easy to find, baking soda is one of the most effective ways to whiten teeth naturally. Just take an amount of baking soda about the size of half a bean, mix it with your toothpaste and brush with this mixture at least once a day. It is best to brush with it at night to clear away the plaque of the day, and the baking soda will make your teeth noticeably whiter. And don't forget to rinse your mouth thoroughly so none of the mixture stays on your teeth.
Tip 4: Use dental floss. Instead of using a toothpick after meals, get into the habit of flossing. Floss not only removes small bits of food from between your teeth, it also removes plaque and the stains food leaves behind. You certainly won't regret picking up this habit.
Tip 5: If you chew sugarcane regularly, it is not only nutritious but also helps keep your teeth white and clean, because as you chew, the sugarcane fibers rub back and forth over your teeth and clean them.
Tip 6: Rub the stains on your teeth thoroughly with a quarter of an areca nut, and your teeth will soon be shiny and clean again
Tip 7: Brush your teeth after every meal. This is the basic advice every dentist gives us, but it is probably also one of the hardest habits to build. Still, if you stick with it, the results will be well worth it! Brushing after meals doesn't just whiten your teeth, it also keeps your breath fresh and removes plaque. Carry a travel toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste in your bag so you can brush after eating.
Tip 8: Rub your teeth with powdered dried bay leaves and dried lemon peel, and your tooth enamel will become stronger and brighter.
Your smile is the most natural piece of jewelry you own, so take good care of it and keep it bright every day!
