Whitening your teeth can get expensive, especially if done by the dentist or with on the market products. Not only can it be expensive, but the remedies are not always natural. Here are easy ways to whiten your teeth in your very own home the natural way.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First of all if you are a smoker you may want to consider quitting, as it stains your teeth very badly. Also limit your intake of coffee and tea. If you have to have these, make sure you take time to brush your teeth immediately after consuming them.

  2. Step 2

    Baking soda is a good start to whiten your teeth. Brushing with baking soda on your toothbrush once or twice a day will show results in about two months. To further your results add a little salt with your baking soda.

  3. Step 3

    Hydrogen peroxide is also a good way to get rid of yellow teeth. Always rinse with water afterward.

  4. Step 4

    Make a paste with lemon juice and salt and see instant results!

  5. Step 5

    It is also possible to make a paste with baking soda adding hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice. These also work as wonderful whitening remedies.

  6. Step 6

    If all else fails, some markets sell certain toothpastes with natural ingredients that will help whiten your teeth. Always make sure to check the ingredients!
