White teeth at home - Dr Prem

A perfect smile is one of the most desired things that everyone wants to have. But a smile is perfect only when the teeth are white. You can visit the dentist as many times as you want but the problem of yellow teeth will reoccur if you do not take proper and regular care of your teeth. There are times when strains from various food and beverages are almost impossible to brush and they leave stains and impressions on your teeth. The older they become, the more difficult it becomes to get rid of them. So, the earlier you notice them, quicker will be the treatment. Following are some of the instructions and tips you should go for to whiten your teeth. Read on.

Complexity Level: Basic

Time Required: 10-15 minutes

Resources Required:

1. Fruits like orange, lemon and strawberry

2. Baking soda

3. Wood ash

4. Vinegar

Instructions:

1. Lemon and orange

The first remedy is to use the orange peel or the lemon peel. This peel has natural whitening properties and it will help in teeth whitening. The inner side of the peel is very beneficial. But, use the lemon peel on an occasional basis because with the frequent use, it will remove the good enamel from your teeth.

2. Strawberry

The next fruit that acts as a good remedy for whitening your teeth is strawberry. Cut strawberry into small pieces and use them to whiten your teeth.

3. Baking soda

A mixture of baking soda and salt is also a very good remedy that is widely used. Baking soda is easily available in everyone’s kitchen, so you will not have to go specially to find it.

4. Wood ash

It might sound strange but a lot of people use wood ash for teeth whitening. Wood ash is rich in potassium hydroxide and thus it almost acts as a bleach for the teeth. Scrubbing too hard can harm more than prove anything good. It can tear down the enamel that is naturally present. So, if you are planning to leave it as it is, then my advise is do not leave it for too long.

5. Homemade tooth paste

Another option is to go for homemade tooth paste. This toothpaste can be made out of baking soda, salt and hydrogen peroxide. All of these substances are individually very good, so the combination shows almost miraculous results. Using this toothpaste will be naturally made and thus you will not have fear of any adverse reactions.

6. Vinegar

Rinsing the teeth with vinegar also helps in reducing any color formation on your teeth. If a little bit of clove oil is added to the toothpaste, then the toothpaste’s whitening effect gets maximized.

7. Walnut tree

A lot of people use walnut tree extract for cleaning the teeth. They help in removing the stains and color marks.
