In this short article you will be able to whiten your teeth and make your mouth cleaner and healthier. This will also help and prevent canker sores.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 Bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide
  1. Step 1

    The first thing you will need to do is pour a capful of hydrogen peroxide in a cup. Just use the cap from the bottle its a perfect measurement of what you will need.

  2. Step 2

    The second thing is to add 1 capful of water to the cup. Again just use the cap from the Hydrogen Peroxide bottle.

  3. Step 3

    The third thing is start swishing the mixture in your mouth for about 10 minutes. I also gargle for a while too. I do this watching T.V. or reading a good book. The mixture will start to bubble in your mouth and this is OK since its working to kill the germs in your mouth and is whitening your teeth at the same time. This is also very helpful for canker sores and I have not had one in over 2 years since I have been using this product.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can purchase the generic Hydrogen Peroxide or buy the more expensive. I buy the generic and it works just fine. I did this twice a day for the first 2 weeks and now I just do it once a day and my teeth are much whiter and my mouth is alot healthier. This has saved me alot of money on mouth wash and whitening strips that didn't seem to work and took a long time to see results.
  • Hydrogen Peroxide should not be swallowed and should be kept where children cant reach it.

on 11/24/2009 Great column. I've thought about trying hydrogen peroxide for a long time, but was leery of it. You show how to use it safely yet in a manner that works. No more whitening strips for me!
