How can I naturally whiten my teeth?
I use whitening tooth paste and all it has really done is make my teeth sensitive.
So I was wondering if anyone knows of any natural teeth whitening remedies that don’t use lemon/lime, which is extreme acidic.
Try baking powder. If you make a paste with baking powder and a few drops of water, you can use it as a toothpaste, and it will help whiten your teeth. You can also make it a little stronger by using a few drops of hydrogen peroxide instead of plain water.
I should let you know, however, that this is a pretty mild whitening solution. It will not work as effectively as the expensive commercial products, like Crest Whitestrips. And a dentist can use products that are even stronger than that. But if your teeth are only mildly discolored, baking soda and peroxide may be all you need. It’s cheap, and it is worth a shot. It is certainly better for your teeth than putting any acid product on them.
Good luck, and I hope this helps.
A couple of home remedies
Whitening Teeth with Wood Ash
Procedure: Brushing teeth using wood ash (i.e. from your fireplace)
The reason wood ash whitens your teeth is because it contains potassium hydroxide (aka lye). However, only hard wood ash contains significant concentrations of potassium hydroxide. Soft wood ash does not. Before lye was available commercially, soap was made by leeching the potassium hydroxide from hard wood ash and then combining it with tallow (rendered animal fat). You may want to exercise caution when using hard wood ash too often as a tooth whitening agent. The harshness of the potassium hydroxide could significantly damage your teeth over time.
Whitening Teeth with Strawberries
Procedure: Brushing teeth using mashed strawberries
It is not advisable to brush your teeth with strawberries. The sugar and acid in the strawberry will harm your teeth more than it will help if you don’t immediately brush your teeth with regular toothpaste. If you choose to brush with strawberries, be sure to brush your teeth immediately afterwards with fluoride toothpaste, and also to floss.
Whitening Teeth with Baking Soda
Procedure: Using Baking Soda with toothpaste while brushing
Baking Soda won’t bleach your teeth, but it will help get plaque off and make them shine. Be warned that Baking Soda is an abrasive and if you use it too much, the enamel on your teeth can get damaged.
