Does Natural Teeth Whitening Work?

in life •  5 years ago 

People have been searching throughout the years for teeth whitening products that are natural, that work efficiently and do not damage their teeth. Here are some suggestions for a beautiful and bright smile using home made remedies. Baking soda is used in various toothpastes to whiten teeth. The abrasiveness helps to significantly remove stains and make teeth cleaner and whiter. Whether you brush with baking soda directly, or mix it with a little hydrogen peroxide, it can work wonderfully.

It is important to note however that baking soda should only be used a couple of times each month as the abrasiveness can damage your tooth enamel. Lemon juice too, is another teeth whitening product. A brighter smile can be had quickly due to the inherent natural bleaching property of lemon juice. You can brush your teeth with it or simply rub the peel across your teeth. One should however, be aware of the acidic properties of lemon juice that can weaken tooth enamel.

Dentists recommend not using lemon juice for a tooth whitening remedy because of the dangers of depleting vital calcium in the teeth and eventually causing tooth decay. Strawberries are also commonly used for teeth whitening. Even though strawberries tend to stain clothing, looks can be deceiving. This home remedy can produce significant results. If you want to try this natural teeth-whitening remedy, simply rub the strawberries over your teeth.

Brush your teeth quickly after applying strawberries. You can also use strawberries like toothpaste after first mashing them. Remember to brush them again with toothpaste quickly afterward to remove the acid that could cause damage to your tooth enamel. Obviously, you should first always be sure to take proper care of your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing can go a long way in fighting stains caused from smoking, coffee, wine and other staining food and drink.

You can purchase tooth whitening kits if you are not interested in using natural ingredients found in the kitchen. Dazzle White can impart a brilliant smile in just a few minutes. Keeping your teeth healthy through brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups is important not only for that bright smile, but for the health of your teeth and gums as well, whether you opt for natural teeth whitening remedies or prefer to purchase an at-home whitening kit.
