If your smile looks dull or yellow, you may feel embarrassed about your appearance. While there is no shortage on products for bleaching your teeth, from creams to gels to whitening strips, some people would prefer not to use harsh chemicals. The following suggestions will help you put the pizzazz back in your smile naturally:
Try do-it-yourself paste
Combine half a teaspoon baking soda with half a teaspoon table salt to make a natural cleanser. Mix a little water in to moisten the mixture that you can use weekly on your teeth. The baking soda will polish your teeth, while a chemical reaction with the water lightens stains.
Pick pure H2O
Right after you finish eating, swish water around in your mouth for 30 seconds to prevent the food from sticking to your teeth.
Go green
Add spinach and other dark green veggies, like broccoli and kale, to your diet because these leafy greens contain a mineral compound that produces a film, covering teeth and protecting against stains.
Snack on this
When you need a little something between meals, choose apples, carrots, and celery. These foods naturally remove plaque from teeth and they encourage saliva production, which rinses away decay-causing agents.
Discover the magic of minerals
Because of a gentle abrasive component, kaolin clay can be used as a natural whitening agent. For fresh breath, you can add a drop of peppermint or clove essential oil. To protect enamel, only use this mixture once a week.
Follow this lipstick tip
For a quick fix, ladies can try this trick: wear a blue-tinted lipstick. The cool undertones make your teeth sparkle in comparison.
