So I ask my teeth whitening Makati Dentist if what can I do to have whitened my teeth at home, and he gave me couple of advices!
Teeth Whitening Home Remedies
Baking Soda and Lemon Juice Paste
We all know what effects Baking Soda has to our teeth. It gently scrubbing away surface stains to return teeth to a whiter shade. It helps you out to balance the Ph level in your mouth due to its alkaline properties. It will also reduce the acidity of the Lemon Juice, which will acts as a natural bleach of sorts. Use a mixture of baking soda and water on some days, and use the lemon juice on the others.
Mix several teaspoons of baking soda with enough fresh lemon juice and water to make a paste. Put a good amount of paste onto your toothbrush and apply. Leave the paste on it for maximum of a minute, then rinse. If your paste used just water, you can leave it for 3 minutes.
Apple Cider Vinegar
It is a multipurpose household product. I am personally surprised to learn that it also has natural whitening properties - from Reader’s Digest. Using this with baking soda actually helps to remove stains and whitens teeth. Though results are not at instant, using apple cider vinegar to one part baking soda is ideal. Try the solution for a few times a week, or simply use the apple cider vinegar as a mild mouth rinse along with your daily oral care.
Peppermint Leaf and Coconut Oil
Although there is still no conclusive evidence on what can coconut oil do on oral health, it still been considered for its stain-decreasing properties. Coconut oil, with small amount of mashed peppermint leaves can help remove on-surface bacteria that cause the teeth to become yellowish.
Based on studies, coconut oil contains lauric acid, an acid that breaks down bacteria. Using this solution may have taken couple of days to see the effect, so using it overtime will have the best effects.
These are just three of the many ways you can have teeth whitening at home! Do you have your own remedies? You may share it with us and that will be nice! Great!
