TEETH WHITENING TECHNIQUES

There are plenty of at-home teeth whitening remedies exist, but the majority employ chemicals for bleaching purposes. For those seeking a brighter smile without chemicals, explore natural and safe teeth-whitening alternatives. 

Teeth whitening remedies such as: 

1. Oil Pulling with Coconut Oil: Practice this traditional Indian method by swishing 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 15–20 minutes to remove bacteria and promote oral hygiene.

2. Brush with Baking Soda: Use toothpaste containing baking soda, proven to be more effective at reducing plaque, gum inflammation, and tooth discoloration over time.

3. Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash: Rinse with a 1.5% or 3% hydrogen peroxide solution before brushing to naturally bleach teeth and kill bacteria. Mouthwash helps freshen breath and promote oral hygiene by reaching areas that brushing may miss.

1. Charcoal-Containing Toothpaste: Consider toothpaste with charcoal for its abrasive properties, known to reduce tooth discoloration caused by coffee. 

5. Fruits and Vegetables: Include strawberries and pineapples in your diet, as their natural acids contribute to teeth whitening. Avoid staining foods and beverages, and minimize sugar intake for overall oral health.

1. Regular Oral Hygiene: Brush teeth twice a day, floss daily, and rub fruit peels on teeth for an additional whitening boost.
