I really want to get my teeth whiter without all those expensive products(or if possible, no products at all). Is there any way? I heard that baking soda works, but how do I use it?
--------------------
Having your teeth professionally whitened gives instant results and is therefore the most effective way - But a downside to this method is the price as well as the damage the bleaching causes your teeth. But don't worry! There are other, less expensive methods - they give very good results if you use them properly. firstly - stay away from all things that may darken and stain your teeth: -tobacco -caffeine (tea, coca-cola, coffee) -most berries -certain vegetables (eg. potatoes) -flouride (is contained in some toothpastes and WILL discolour your teeth!) The secret to naturally white teeth is malic acid, which acts as an astringent to remove stains. If you combine strawberries with "baking soda" it becomes a natural tooth-whitener and cleanser. You need: 1 ripe strawberry 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking soda until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking soda mix. Rinse. (A little floss will help get rid of any strawberry seeds.) - but please don't overuse this method! baking soda is an intense and harsh cleanser - effective but acidic. The maximum i recommend using this method is once a week! If you're in a pinch with no baking soda - simply rubbing a strawberry against your teeth and leaving it for about 5 minutes is effective by itself :) - good luck!
