Too many people focus on spending a lot of money on products to whiten teeth. It's not really necessary. This is a natural, cheap, easy and kinda fun way to do it.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1 Ripe strawberry
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Toothbrush
  • Small saucer

Step1
Crush the strawberry in a small dish.
Step2
Mix the strawberry with the baking powder.
Step3
Dip your wet toothbrush in the mix and brush onto your teeth.
Step4
Leave on for up to 5 minutes.
Step5
Repeat once per week.

Tips & Warnings

  • Be sure to floss!
  • Wet tooth brushes work best, just to get the mix to stick.
  • You could just cut the strawberry in half and dip it in the baking powder, but you wont get even results. The mix should be as homogenous as possible.
  • Repetition more often than once a week might cause tooth enamel erosion.
  • Whitening does NOT work on dental repairs or dentures.
