Natural Remedies to Whiten and Brighten Your Smile

October 1, 2009


People love seeing someone who has a bright smile. Even though we may take proper care of our teeth by brushing them twice a day and gargling and rinsing our mouth before and after meals invariably our teeth over a period of time tend to get yellowish in color. Teeth whitening gels are available over the counter however regular use of these gels makes not only your teeth weak but also causes harm to your gums. There are plenty of natural remedies that you could use which have the same results as expensive teeth whitening systems but cost just a fraction of them.

The first remedy that you could use to get your pearly whites shining would be with the help of the rind of an Orange. The inner portion of the rind of an orange should be used to rub the teeth that are yellow in color. Orange rind has tooth whitening properties and is very effective to help get the white back on your teeth without damaging the enamel. Strawberries as well have the same tooth whitening properties. 2-3 strawberries should be ground into small pieces. The paste should be used to rub the teeth to help remove yellow stains from the teeth.

Another home remedy which can be used to help whiten teeth is a mixture of baking soda and salt which is rich in iodine. One teaspoon of baking soda and a pinch of salt needs to be mixed in a bowl and used to rub the teeth. Care should be taken if this method is used as the salt which is coarse could damage the tooth enamel if rubbed in too hard. Salt is very abrasive and could cause the enamel to get scratched and could also cause mouth pain. Walnuts that are crushed can also be used to help whiten teeth. It prevents tooth discoloration and acts as a natural cleaner for teeth keeping them bacteria free and white.

Hydrogen peroxide can be put onto a cotton ear bud. Use the cotton ear bud to apply the hydrogen peroxide on the teeth. Be careful that you don’t get any of the hydrogen peroxide on your gums as that would lead to irritation and a funny feeling in your mouth for a long time. Brushing your teeth with wood ash or lemon juice and rinsing your mouth with a vinegar or water solution are other methods that you could use to whiten your teeth.
