How to Get Teeth White
Your teeth can be stained by what you drink and eat, the mouthwash you use and smoking. In addition, as you grow older, your teeth will naturally stain. You don't have to go to the dentist to get your teeth whitened. Avoid things that stain your teeth and use do-it-yourself remedies to make your smile bright.

Apply lemon juice and baking soda paste to your teeth. The acidity of lemon juice combined with the cleaning properties of baking soda can whiten your teeth by lightening the discolorations from stains.

Polish your teeth with fresh strawberry paste. Strawberries include potent compounds that can whiten your teeth. Mash two strawberries to create your paste and gently brush your teeth with the solution for two minutes daily.

Gargle with apple cider vinegar. The acidity level of apple cider vinegar disintegrates discoloration and stains. Gargle one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for 30 seconds, spit out and rinse with water. Do this ever day, preferably before bedtime.

Consume crunchy vegetables and fruits daily. The biological fibers of these types of foods combine with your saliva to help flush out stain-causing microorganisms and particles of food while neutralizing the acids that cause tooth decay. Crunchy fruits and veggies include carrots, apples and celery.

Tips & Warnings
Consult your dentist before embarking on teeth-whitening methods. Make sure to apply the fruit mixtures and apple cider vinegar to your teeth for only two minutes, with the exception of eating crunchy vegetables and fruits. Brush your teeth with regular toothpaste afterward, since the acid and sugar content of the fruits can cause enamel erosion.
