Share
Like soft and smooth skin, white teeth also enhance your beauty. You would certainly like to be appreciated for having beautiful white teeth when you smile. And on the contrary, if your teeth are not white, you will make every attempt to conceal them and avoid being abashed.
  Why Home Made Methods:
There are various methods of teeth whitening including bleaching or polishing process that reduces discoloration of enamel. But if you have grayish teeth, you may not get expected result and would end up spending a good deal of money. So why squander money for no result. It is much better to adopt some homemade methods to improve the whiteness of your teeth.
Main causes of discolored teeth.
Homemade recipes not only brighten your teeth and keep your gums healthy but are also effective in removing plaque and control tartar. If you have healthy teeth with no filling then teeth whitening is ideal. However, children under age 13 should not use teeth whiteners, especially those available in the market. The following recipes can be prepared at your place easily.

1. All-Natural Formula:
  •  Combine 1/2 tsp baking soda with ½ tsp table salt to make a teeth cleanser,add one drop of breath-freshening peppermint essential oil to the mixture. Wet your toothbrush, then dip it into the mixture and brush. The particles in the baking soda polish the surface of your teeth, while a chemical reaction with the water lightens stains. To avoid damaging  your enamel, don’t use this method more than once a week.  
  • Make a paste of equal amount of lemon juice and salt and use it on discolored teeth.
  • Clean your teeth with powdered leaves of margosa to refresh your mouth.
  • Use inner white part of orange peel to rub your teeth for white shiny teeth.
    Make a powder of pomegranate peels and brush your teeth every morning and night for a good sparkle.
  • Use bark of walnut tree to make your teeth white. This is one of the useful method for whitening teeth.
  • Rub your teeth with fresh sage leaves for whitening purpose. This is one of the best homemade teeth   whitening.
  • Mix one cup water, one teaspoon of Aloe Vera gel, four teaspoon vegetable glycerin and 1/4 cup of plain soda drink and boil for 15-20 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and then add peppermint for fresh breath and shake the mixture well. Use it regularly to clean your teeth.
2. Teeth-Saving Snacks:
Snack on saliva-producing foods like apples, pears, strawberries, celery and carrots,the additional saliva they produce helps remove bacteria from your mouth and whiten your teeth.

3.The Wonders of Water:
Swish water in your mouth for 30 seconds right after eating,it will help prevent the food you just ate from staining your teeth.


4. Creamy Goodness:
Adding a splash of cream or milk to black coffee or tea—it changes the chemistry of the beverage, which makes it much more difficult for stains to adhere to the tooth’s surface.
 5.Another Reason to Eat Your Greens:
Load up on spinach and other dark green veggies, like broccoli and kale. These leafy greens contain a mineral compound which produces a film that covers teeth and protects against stains.
6.Pass On the Pop:
Avoid soda, which contains acids––like phosphoric, citric, malic and tartaric acids––that can strip your teeth enamel. If you have to indulge once in a while, use a straw. It’ll help keep your teeth stain-free.
