Don't Be Ashamed To Smile! Four Amazing Home Tricks To Whiten Your Teeth

Posted on: 24 March 2016

Are you hiding your beautiful smile because of coffee stains? Coffee stains on the teeth are the worst and can be among the hardest stains to remove from your tooth's enamel. Luckily, there are several home ingredients that you can use to slowly start the process of whiter and brighter teeth. Below is a list of the most common and effective ingredients to use.  

Table Salt

One of the easiest and best common home ingredients you can use on your teeth is salt. Salt helps to restore any minerals that have been lost in your teeth from drinking coffee, thus giving your a whiter and brighter smile.

You can use the salt to make toothpaste with. Mix two tablespoons of salt, two tablespoons of baking powder and a little water. Mix the ingredients together until they form a thick paste and brush away. You can rinse away any residue with your regular mouthwash.

Carrots

Carrots are full of fiber which activates your saliva glands. The saliva that you produce is the mouth's natural defense against harmful bacteria and plaque. Once the plaque is removed from your teeth, the alkaline that is in the carrots will begin to restore the minerals in the enamel which help to whiten teeth.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is recommended for its many benefits to the healthy body. This simple ingredient acts as a natural astringent, so it removes the bacteria on your teeth and gums. It will remove the dark stains and coloration that are associated with coffee drinking and smoking, but it has to be used consistently.

After you brush your teeth, gargle with a little apple cider vinegar. Doing this both morning and night will give you results within a week.  

Orange Peels

Orange peels are not only full of the minerals that your teeth need for a healthier and whiter smile, but they also act as a mild and safe bleach. The vitamins that are found in oranges will rid your mouth of plaque buildup and help restore any minerals that your teeth are lacking.

Rub an orange peel along your teeth every night after you wash your teeth for the best results. It is important to remember, however, that oranges are an acidic fruit, so rinse your mouth out with your regular mouthwash after every use.

You shouldn't have to avoid smiling because of unsightly coffee stains on your teeth. You can reverse the damage that has been done by using one of the safe and effective home remedies listed above. Using one of the ingredients consistently will put you on the fast track to a whiter smile. For further assistance, contact a local dentist.
