If you are trying at home teeth whitening methods, there are a number of options available. You can try baking soda if you can find it in the kitchen shelf, or a pulp of strawberries mashed together in to a fine paste. Wet your brush well and just swish it across the baking soda. Apply the brush to the teeth and brush well. The experience will not be as pleasant as you would have thought it out to be, but never mind over a few days, you will have white glistening teeth to show everyone. Strawberry paste is equally good, but it is believed that strawberries mixed with about 3 to 4 teaspoons of baking soda in about cup of water works wonderfully in whitening the teeth. The taste of this concoction is not pleasant though. It is always advisable that if you are using baking soda and strawberry as a component of teeth whitening methods, please do remember to brush you teeth immediately after the application.


At home teeth whitening methods are not necessarily faulty or wrong. There are several people who try lemon juice but the catch with lemon juice is that you have to rinse your mouth thoroughly well after trying this method so that there are no corrosive substances left inside from the lemon juice. Lemon juice is after all an acid, and like any other acid, it works on the enamel structure of the teeth making cavities all around resulting in rapid tooth decay. Lemon juice does give the first impression that the teeth are becoming whiter but that is only because the lemon juice corrodes the calcium in the teeth making the teeth vulnerable to cavities and decay. There are various other at home teeth whitening methods and it is believed that a safe hydrogen peroxide gargle would do the initial wonders followed by a vigorous brushing with the normal toothpaste.

If you are still interested in trying out other at home teeth whitening methods, several dentists suggest chewing up spinach as much as possible and as frequently as possible. It is understood that the chlorophyll of the spinach does a whole world of good to the teeth, better than any other chemicals put together. People are also trying wood ash or simple coal ash powder, gently rubbing it against the teeth releases tiny crystals, which wash the teeth, to make them sparkling white. One thing that must be kept in mind is that whatever at home teeth whitening products you are using to make your teeth sparkling white, do brush your teeth immediately after the application to wash off all the traces of the agents that you are using. Whether it is lemon juice or baking soda, the effects of corrosion and spilling on to the gums remain and so there is always a danger of infection creeping into the gums and complicating things beyond your control. Take care to see that only the teeth surface is in contact with the agents being used and rinse your mouth thoroughly after every application.By: Rafael SweeneyArticle Directory: http://www.articledashboard.comTired of ugly yellow teeth?
