It’s no wonder that bright, white teeth are sought after by people of all ages. Most of the treatments and products for teeth whitening are expensive and some require regular trips to the dentist. However, with these easy, effective home remedies, anyone can have pearly, white teeth.One of the oldest whitening hacks is to rub the inside of a banana’s peel on your teeth for 2 minutes.
Mash a strawberry with baking soda, spread on teeth. Let it sit for five minutes. Rinse and brush as usual.
Though it makes you go against the recommendation, it is surprisingly effective.
Toast some bread to a burnt crisp. You don’t have to eat them, just rub them on your teeth for three minutes. Make sure to brush afterwards.
Mix equal portions of Listerine and hydrogen peroxide to gargle with for a whole minute. After rinsing, brush your teeth with a mixture of toothpaste, baking soda and half teaspoon of water.
Hydrogen peroxide does substantial damage if used more than recommended, so proceed with caution.
Add a teaspoon of water into a cup along with teaspoon of charcoal powder. Let it sit and form a paste. Apply it to your teeth and leave it there for 15 minutes. It comes with some cautions but the results are definitely worth it!
The natural adhesive of the charcoal paste binds with surface stains that come off when you spit it out. This is also the condition that burnt toast attempts to recreate.
On its own, it only removes stains, so if your teeth is already yellow that odds are they will stay that way.
Other than for rubbing purposes, actually eating them can improve your dental health too.
The minerals found in banana peel will strengthen your teeth.
This is one of the most popular products out there. It uses peroxide and is left on the surface of the teeth for a designated duration.
That is the effect of peroxide; removing surface stains as well as the color of the teeth.
Apart from those nutrients, strawberries also contain an enzyme called mallic acid that removes stains.
The Academy of General Dentistry has issued that a healthy diet is detrimental to good dental health, which is why bananas are top contenders in dental benefits.
Although effective, using peroxide through pharmacy products may impose on your dental health in the long run.
Unlike whitening strips that can be quite costly, buying a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide to mix into your own whitening paste can last longer at a cheaper price. Plus you can add baking soda.
In order to whiten the teeth, charcoal still needs to have a bleaching agent.
Despite its effectiveness, the ADA has yet to endorse this element into routine use.
