How to whiten teeth at home

Instructions :

Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide bleaching

  1. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide are common household products that can be used to whiten teeth. Add a small amount of the solution of hydrogen peroxide powder baking soda to create a paste-like consistency.
  2. Paste this substance in your toothbrush and gently brush your teeth on all sides by the amount and the number of times you normally brush every day.
  3. If you prefer, you can substitute the hydrogen peroxide with water to create a paste or use baking soda alone, applying it directly on the slightly damp toothbrush and brushing your teeth as you normally do every day.
  4. For bleaching with hydrogen peroxide, gargle with a small amount of the solution in the mouth for a minute after brushing your teeth. Rinse your mouth with water afterwards.

Teeth whitening food :

  1. Rub your teeth with white interior of a lemon peel. To add whitening effects, add a pinch of table salt to the skin before rubbing it on your teeth.
  2. Alternatively, mix a small amount of table salt with lemon juice to create a paste-like consistency. Apply a thin layer of this substance in your toothbrush and brush your teeth as you normally do every day.
