Everyone wants to have a beautiful, bright white smile. Unfortunately, not everyone does, and these people tend to hide their smiles. However, it doesn't have to be this way. All it takes is a few home remedies to brighten those pearly whites so that you can feel confident in everything that you do. Here are three to give a try:
1. Baking Soda and Peroxide
With this remedy, you will want to create a baking soda paste with a bit of water. Apply it onto your toothbrush and brush your teeth for at least a minute. If you can't stand the taste of plain baking soda, you can add some lemon juice, mint essential oil or mashed up strawberries.
Next, you will want to rinse your mouth with peroxide instead of your standard mouthwash. Swish for roughly a minute before spitting out. Again, if you don't like the taste of the peroxide by itself, you can mix it with a small amount of your own mouthwash.
These ingredients can be a bit abrasive, so don't use this remedy every single day. Instead, it should be used as whitening regimen only a couple of times per week to avoid damage to your teeth's enamel.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a way that you can whiten your teeth at home without having to deal with the unpleasant taste of baking soda and peroxide. Rather than trying to make a paste, you will simple brush your teeth with the ACV by dipping your toothbrush into a cup of apple cider vinegar. However, if you want, you can use baking soda with the ACV to create a paste, as you may find it easier to brush this way.
Keep in mind that ACV is acidic, so you need use this remedy with care. However, with continuous and cautious usage, you can see stubborn stains disappearing over the course of a month. It is also recommended that you use a non-fluoride toothpaste after the ACV.
3. Oil Pulling with Coconut Oil
Oil pulling has recently began to gain popularity here in the United States. One reason for this is because of the positive effects oil pulling can have on your teeth, breath and oral health as a whole. The process works to detoxify the mouth and create a clean oral environment that helps to prevent cavities, gum disease and other oral infections. It can even help whiten your teeth.
All you need to do is use a couple of teaspoons of coconut oil and swish it around in your mouth for 20 minutes (but any length of time can be beneficial). You will then want to rinse with warm water and brush your teeth like you normally would.
With whiter teeth, you'll enjoy a vast assortment of benefits and you won't have to hide that beautiful smile any longer. Contact a company like Advanced Family Dental Care LLC for more information.
