Even whitening professionally performed into a dental ordination are not at all natural and can make your teeth sensitive which can cause pain.
However, there is still hope: if you want a whiter and brighter grin, this method performed only once a week can have you flashing your pearliest whites—the natural way and you only need a few ingredients such as baking soda and lemon.
How To Whiten Teeth Naturally
You can naturally and cheaply whiten your teeth at home using just two simple, all-natural ingredients and a toothbrush. You can brush your teeth to a whiter smile in three minutes’ time, once a week. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) – you can also use baking soda as a general kitchen medicine.
- The juice of half a lemon or lime – also see how to use lemon as a medicine.
- A clean, new toothbrush.
That’s it! Here is how to put nature’s smile brightener to work for you:
How To Whiten Teeth Naturally At Home – The Method
- Place baking soda (one tablespoon) into a small dish and pour lemon juice over it. Use squeezed half a lemon (or half a lime).
- The mixture will start bubbling as a result of the interaction of the soda with the lemon acid in the citrus juice.
- Once the bubbling decreases somewhat, stir the mixture with your toothbrush until you get a thick paste. If the paste is too fluid, add little more of baking soda until you reach the suitable consistency.
- Place the paste onto the toothbrush and start brushing thoroughly, the same way you would use a normal toothpaste.
- Use a higher amount of water to rinse the mouth, and that’s it! That’s all there is to it.
Whitening Teeth With Lemon & Soda – Things That Need To Be Consider
- You should perform this method of whitening, naturally, only once a week just to get a bright smile without harming the protective enamel covering the teeth.
- One recommendation is you use a new toothbrush when the method for the first time and assigning that toothbrush specifically to being used for whitening—otherwise said, avoid using your daily-use toothbrush for this treatment.
- If you don’t have lemons or limes on hand, 1-2 tablespoons of water may be substituted to create the whitening paste.
- This treatment is not recommended for people who wear dental braces, as it would cause uneven whitening that would be noticeable once the braces were removed.
- The taste of the whitening mixture is a bit strange and tart, but the quantity used for whitening is totally safe and non-toxic in case you should accidentally swallow it (although you might find the flavor a bit nauseating if you happen to do so).
- After just one month of use—only four treatments—the results should be initiated by having brighter and whiter smile!
