Remedies for whiter teeth
There are various remedies at home to whiten your teeth naturally. Brushing your teeth with a mixture of lime, salt and rosewater will help. The difference will be noticeable in about a couple of weeks.
However, it is important to remember that you must not do this on a daily basis after about two weeks, as excessive use of lime can damage your teeth. You can also use diluted hydrogen peroxide to brush your teeth about twice a week. Again, any more and it will be dangerous for your enamel.
You should brush your teeth after each meal. Avoid snacking, as this will defeat the purpose of brushing after each meal. Use toothpaste with fluoride in it. Once or twice a week, add a pinch of baking soda to the toothpaste and use that to brush your teeth. It is believed that strawberries have certain oxides that help to whiten the color of teeth. You can either eat up to 10 strawberries a day, spread out over the whole day, or make a paste of a few and use your fingers to scrub this paste all over and around your teeth. Yogurt has some live bacteria that work on the bacteria in your mouth and help whiten your teeth. You can keep a tablespoon of yogurt in your mouth and swish it about for about five minutes, twice a day.
