Whiten your teeth - the natural way!


Are your pearly whites lookin’ a little more on the yellow side?
Whitening toothpaste and strips totally work, but can create teeth sensitivity. Here are some tips on how you can naturally achieve a glorious mouth that belongs on a toothpaste commercial!




Crunchy and crispy fruits and veggies

Foods like apples, carrots, and celery taste delicious, but also have a gentle abrasiveness that help lift stains from teeth.
They also help your mouth to produce more saliva. This is a good thing! Saliva contains compounds and enzymes that give it detergent properties which help protect teeth from cavity-causing bacteria.

Baking Soda

Helps remove surface stains, and if you squeeze a couple drops of lemon juice with it this will create a bleaching effect.
This solution can be harsh on your teeth. So no more than once per week. And make sure you do not leave the mixture on your teeth for longer than a minute.

Strawberries

The vitamin C in strawberries help remove plaque build up. They also contain malic acid, a natural astringent which helps remove surface stains.
Crush up some strawberries and apply to your teeth with a toothbrush. You can add a bit of baking soda as well if you wish. Allow that mix to it to sit on your teeth for 3-5 minutes and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.

Avoid things like tea, coffee, red wines which stain your teeth. Drink plenty of water and brush and floss regularly. for perfectly pearly whites! J

Also WBB TIP - wearing darker shades of lip colours, bold reds and rich berry shades will give the illusion of a whiter smile ;)
