Three most accessible teeth whitening methods:
- Baking soda .This product has antibacterial properties. To whiten teeth in this way, you should wet the toothbrush with warm water, dab it in soda, and then brush your teeth in the usual way. Too long brushing is not recommended, as there is a risk of damage to the enamel. Soda can simultaneously be combined with toothpaste and lemon juice. Bleach teeth with soda only once a week.
- Hydrogen Peroxide .Has antibacterial and antimicrobial effect, helps to strengthen teeth. The safest concentration is 3%, with a stronger solution, enamel can be damaged. Two methods of peroxide bleaching are known:
- a peroxide solution is applied to a cotton disc, with which the teeth are then rubbed;
- after the tooth cleaning toothpaste oral cavity is rinsed with peroxide solution( 20 drops peroxide per 50 milliliters of warm water), after which the mouth is again rinsed with warm water.
- Activated carbon .Grind the activated carbon pellet, soak the toothbrush and dab it into the resulting powder. It is possible to prepare a gruel made of activated carbon by adding a small amount of water to the powder. Activated carbon can also be combined with toothpaste. After brushing your teeth, rinse the mouth thoroughly with warm, clean water.
Take, for example, a delicious and aromatic strawberry. Prepare from it a gruel, which immediately put on the teeth. Keep this yummy in the mouth for two or three minutes and eat, then rinse your mouth thoroughly. Not whitening, but a pleasure!
If a lemon is at hand, make a pulp from its pulp, as in the case of strawberries, and apply it to your teeth, or grind your teeth with rind and rinse the mouth with lemon juice. But keep in mind that the lemon should be used with great care, since citric acid can easily destroy your tooth enamel.
