HEALTH TIPS
Everyone wants that perfect Hollywood smile and pearly white teeth. But the truth is that what we eat and what we drink affects our teeth color significantly. But don’t worry, you don’t have to go to the dentist and spend thousands of dollars to achieve that, you can do it at home using only two ingredients.
This is what you need:
- Baking soda
- Lemon juice
Just mix the two ingredients and pour the lemon juice into the baking powder until you get a thick paste to brush your teeth.
First the mixture will start foaming up but after a few seconds it will settle. Use a cotton ball and rub the paste against your teeth.
Don’t rinse your mouth with water, wait for 20 minutes and repeat the process again. Don’t brush the teeth for 2 hours afterwards. You’ll notice a big difference just after the first application.
Baking Soda is no surprise in this combination. Sodium bicarbonate is slightly abrasive and it scrubs gently the surface stains to give your teeth a whiter shade. It’s also very alkaline so if you have a very acidic mouth or eat a lot of acidic food, it could help balance out the Ph. This is very useful because the acid breaks down the enamel, or so it is believed by many. It will also make the lemon juice less acidic, which works as a natural bleach. You can use the above mentioned mixture of baking soda and juice on some days, and use just the baking soda with water on others, just to be safe not to overdo it.
