Beautiful Smile: 7 Natural Teeth Whitening Home Remedies

Beautiful Smile: 7 Natural Teeth Whitening Home Remedies

Do you want a smile that “lights up the room”? No matter how white you want your teeth, there are plenty of natural teeth whitening home remedies for a beautiful smile.

A mouth full of white teeth not only makes your smile more beautiful, but it also makes you look younger. No one wants a yellow smile, but if you’ve paid attention over the last several years, smiles have gotten whiter and whiter.

While dark beverages like red wine, cranberry juice, soda, coffee and tea, and foods, such as soy sauce, tomato sauce, and balsamic vinegar stain teeth, other foods (and a few natural remedies) can quickly and safely brighten your smile.

It’s not completely unusual these days to see a celebrity, newscaster, or another person overly-concerned with their appearance, to have teeth so white it’s completely distracting.

What’s more, teeth whitening at home is super easy.

Teeth discoloration is part of the aging process. But just like wrinkles, many people fight it.

While you can expect your teeth to change a little over the years, there are things you can do to avoid stains and embarrassing discoloration—and fortunately, these natural teeth whitening home remedies solutions don’t require a hundred dollars bleaching trays, dentist visits, or unknown chemical solutions.

7 Natural Teeth Whitening Home Remedies

How to Get Rid of Yellow Teeth: 7 Home Remedies – Teeth Whitening at Home Made Easy


 

1. Eat Strawberries

There is evidence that strawberries can help whiten teeth due to containing an enzyme called malic acid and vitamin C. The astringent found in strawberries helps to remove surface stains, while vitamin C washes away plaque. 

Mashing a few strawberries and brushing with the mixture once or twice a week can have positive results. You could also just eat strawberries, making sure to chew really well and allowing them to do the brushing on their own.

2. Floss Your Teeth

For some reason, flossing doesn’t come as easily to people as brushing. Still, many dentists and hygienists agree that flossing is more important than brushing.

Floss twice daily for the best, teeth-saving results. Just flossing can easily remove the staining between your teeth, helping them to look whiter.

3. Baking Soda and Lemon

This may be one of the most popular of the natural teeth whitening home remedies. The chemical reaction of baking soda with the citrus of lemon juice has a smile-brightening effect.

Either one of these ingredients works well, but together they are super-effective. Only brush with this solution up to once per week as it can wear away the tooth enamel if used too frequently.

If irritation occurs, the baking soda may be too abrasive for your gums, so discontinue use. If you’re worried about damaging tooth enamel, try some of the other solutions.

Directed by Dr. Oz:

In a small bowl, mix a little bit of baking soda with the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon. The mixture should bubble slightly. Using a cotton swab, wipe saliva and excess plaque from your teeth before brushing on the mixture. Leave the mixture on your teeth for a minute before gently brushing it off with a toothbrush.

Don’t leave the mixture on your teeth for any longer than a minute; the acid erodes tooth enamel.

 

4. Eat Crunchy Fruits and Veggies

Apples, celery, and carrots are all great for your teeth. Crunchy fruit or vegetables act like nature’s toothbrush. Simply chewing removes excess food and bacteria from your mouth.

It also helps to scrub away surface stains. Not only does the texture remove food particles and bacteria, but the acids in the fruits and vegetables pull double duty, actually keeping the teeth whiter. 

Apples, in particular, contain malic acid, the chemical also found in strawberries (and teeth whitening products) that removes surface stains.

 

5. Oil Pulling

Oil pulling is an Indian remedy used primarily to enhance oral health and cleanse the body. The process is actually quite simple, harmless, and very inexpensive. 

Simply take one tablespoon of pure, organic oil and swish it around in your mouth for 15-20 minutes. Move the oil around your mouth through sipping, sucking, and essentially pulling through your teeth.

After rinsing, spit out the oil, thoroughly rinse your mouth out with water, and consume 2-3 glasses of water (purified if possible).

Coconut oil pulling is said to remove plaque and bacteria from the mouth, which helps to whiten teeth.

Always shop for high quality, organic oil, which you can purchase online, that doesn’t contain harmful ingredients.

 

6. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide could also be an effective teeth whitening remedy.

Hydrogen peroxide prevents the growth of bacteria, can help to prevent infections and prevents bad breath, which often results from bacteria. 

Using a paste made of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide is said to remove plaque buildup and bacteria to get rid of stains.

Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to make a paste. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water after brushing with this paste.

You can also use the same ratio of ingredients to make a mouthwash. Or, you can try baking soda with water.

You can purchase baking soda and hydrogen peroxide online.

7. Brush your teeth

Brush your teeth more often and in the correct manner. It’s especially important that you brush after consuming foods and drinks that can lead to yellow teeth.

Do that at least twice a day for 2 minutes at a time. Make sure you get into all of the cracks and crevices. Brush your teeth gently in a circular motion to ensure you’re protecting your gums.

Brush the inside, outside, and chewing surfaces of your teeth.

However, be careful with brushing immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks. Brushing right away can make the acids brush away more enamel and lead to erosion.

 

A healthy and bright smile is definitely something to be happy about. Eating healthy foods, not surprisingly, can go a long way in ensuring your teeth stay white for years to come.

But having an arsenal of natural teeth whitening home remedies can improve your toothy glow without breaking the bank or exposing you to unknown chemicals and bleaches in the dentist’s office.
