Imagine sitting in public, waiting
for a friend or a colleague to meet up with you, then this cute guy sitting
opposite to you smiles at you, you smile back showing a full set of your teeth
expecting him to make a move or something but he gives you this awkward and
uncomfortable look, pretending he wasn’t looking at you or evening smiling at
you at all. What could have caused that reaction from him? Is it your smile or…
Hold on! Your teeth! The teeth may gradually become yellow due to lack of
proper oral care. Excess of tea, coffee, smoking can also discolour the teeth.
Aging is also a cause as well as some teeth infections. Most times people seek
professional treatment to remove the yellow tinge from their teeth, but it can
take a long time getting results and it might also be expensive. Below are
simple, naturally whiten your teeth that you can try at home
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.
3.
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.
4.
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 ...
