Whiten your Teeth!

Whitening your teeth has become a fashion statement that seems to be here to stay. We all see the beautiful white smiles celebrities have, and we want the same bright smile too. You may have a healthy shade of white teeth, but compared to your friends and co-workers with bleached teeth, your teeth might just look yellow -but only in comparison.

Cause of Discolored Teeth

Simply put, colored molecules found in some foods and drinks can get absorbed in your tooth’s enamel surface. This causes your teeth to become less white with time. If you want a brighter smile, you may want to avoid red wine, coffee, tea, cigarettes, mustard, and even blueberries.

Problem with Professional Teeth Whitening

Most, if not all Teeth whitenings contain hydrogen peroxide. This is a harmful chemical that can destroy your gums and nerves and will make your teeth very sensitive.

Natural Solution to Whiten your Teeth

Here is a little homemade remedy that will brighten your smile:

1 Strawberry

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

Step 1) Crush Strawberry and then mix in the Baking Soda.

Step 2) Spread Strawberry mixture onto your teeth and leave on for about 5 minutes.

Step 3) Brush and floss your teeth to clean out the Strawberry mixture.

Note: You can do this natural whitening to your teeth about once a week. You don’t want to overdo it, since the acid from the strawberry can start to damage the enamel on your teeth. Use in moderation, and enjoy your whiter teeth!

  1. I have whitened my teeth professionally, and it HURTS! I don’t want yellow teeth, so it looks like I will have to give this a try!

  2. Apart from giving the pride of a good and vivid smile teeth whitening also has some influence inside the well being of an individual. The yearlong food particles which are deposited on your teeth surface are the reason for the stains inside your teeth. These particles might cause oral illness. Around 90% of illness in our body would be caused only due to the oral troubles. Keeping our teeth clean would eliminate almost all the health problems.
