my teeth are kinda yellow and gross. i don't want to use any whitening strips or gel and no dentist!
--------------------
To get really bright teeth you have to use a gel or trays that contain a bleaching agent. Natural only methods including oil pulling - swirling sesame or olive oil for a few minutes each morning for 5 minutes and then spitting the oil out. Many people have experienced whiter teeth and improved gum health. Just google oil pulling and you can read for yourself. It sounds crazy but it does work. Other natural ways are baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. The baking soda removes stains, and the hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid with oxidizing properties which acts like a bleaching agent. Some people use strawberries and other fruit- but this is not to be recommended because the acid eats away at the enamel. Finally, people have reported good success with teeth soap for keeping teeth white and clean. Most toothpaste contains glycerin which coats the teeth and prevents re-minerilsation of the enamel. Keeping the tooth surface squeaky clean with soap removes this coating, allows the tooth to re-mineralize and may help whiten the teeth.
