Trying out the homemade teeth whitening solutions that are much effective is a great idea that will cost you much lesser. Here are some amazing at-home tricks which you can use.

Home Remedies

  • A very easy recipe can be prepared using baking soda and 3% hydrogen peroxide. You can get both these ingredients in a grocery or medical stores. Take 1 tbsp. of baking soda, add 3 - 5 drops of hydrogen peroxide. Mix well, and apply this paste on your teeth and start brushing.
Baking soda is an abrasive, and helps remove the stains while hydrogen peroxide works as a bleach. Keep brushing for two minutes, and gargle well. You can also add 1 - 2 drops of mint mouthwash to this solution.
  • You can make a paste by mixing 5 tsp. of baking soda and 1½ tsp. table salt, add 1 tsp. regular toothpaste. Mix well, and use it to brush your teeth for two minutes. Notice the stains vanishing in a few days.
  • Take 2 cups of water, and add ½ cup of plain soda drink, 8 tsp. of vegetable glycerin, and 2 tsp. of aloe vera gel. Boil this mixture for about 15 minutes, and then remove from heat. Now add peppermint to this gel, and mix well. Take it on your brush, and clean your teeth using it. Use regularly to make your teeth pearly white.
  • Another way to make a teeth whitening gel is using baking soda, glycerin, and salt or hydrogen peroxide. Take 3 tsp. of baking soda, and add 3 tsp. of glycerin. Now add ½ tsp. of salt, or 1 tsp. of hydrogen peroxide. Mix well, and use like your toothpaste

Other Options

Using strawberries is also a great way for whitening. You can opt for powdered pomegranate peels to brush your teeth everyday, and notice a significant difference. Another home remedy is to use orange peels to rub your teeth.
Well, those crunchy veggies, and fruits like carrots, raw spinach, cucumbers, and apples slowly help get rid of the plaque built up along with the numerous benefits for your health. Regular use of fluoride toothpaste needs no mention, as this works well in keeping your teeth white and bright.
You can go for other alternatives like whitening strips and trays. These products can be purchased over-the-counter, and used at your home. But remember to consult your dentist before using these products. Daily brushing and flossing is the essential dental care routine, that you need to follow so as to have pearl white teeth and a bright smile.
