Every year, Americans spend billions of dollars just to have their teeth whitened, whether by visiting a dentist or using whitening products. But, both these come with their own set of cons, as the former requires you to shell out money because insurance rarely covers the costs, while the latter is known to have chemicals that may be harmful to you in the long run. So, your best bet then for shiny, white teeth are home remedies. In this blog, we’ll give you five simple ways to naturally whiten your teeth.
Baking soda is a popular addition to toothpaste as they contain whitening properties. It is also mildly abrasive, which works well to scrub away the stains on your teeth. The results will not appear overnight, which means you will have to make it a habit for a few weeks to finally see the desired result.
A diet rich in vegetables and fruits is exactly what you need for your teeth to remain white. Yes, it’s true there’s no substitute for brushing your teeth, but raw fruits and crunchy vegetables allow for the plaque to be rubbed away from your teeth.
Your teeth stain when you consume a lot of wine, coffee, or dark berries. So, over time, reducing the intake of these substances will protect your teeth from turning yellow and become a source of embarrassment for you.
There are very few benefits to consuming sugar except for the fact that it is sweet. Regular use of sugar is known to increase germ buildup in your body and lead to decay and conditions like gingivitis. So, avoid sugar intake for whiter teeth.
While brushing and flossing is a daily activity nearly all of us undertake on a daily basis, it needs to be stated that something as simple as brushing and flossing can keep your teeth from turning a different shade of yellow.
To remain white, you need to care for your teeth just as much as you’d care for your health. Following these remedies can certainly give you results in a span of weeks.
