Step 1
Use baking soda to brush your teeth instead of toothpaste. Baking soda is a known whitening agent for many substances around the house including laundry. But it's also a natural teeth whitening agent as well. Just wet a toothbrush and then sprinkle some baking soda on it. Use the baking soda to brush your teeth and rinse with water when you are done.

Step 2
Eat more strawberries. Strawberries have more recently been discovered to whiten teeth naturally. In fact, they have been proven to be so good at teeth whitening that you shouldn't be surprised to see strawberries popping up in toothpaste ingredients in the near future. Instead of eating strawberries, you can mash one up and apply it to your teeth. Let it sit for ten minutes and then rinse with water. If you have an extra teeth whitening tray around, you can spread the strawberries in it before placing into your mouth.

Step 3
Make your own teeth whitening mouth rinse by combining one part lemon juice to four parts water. If you are using an six ounce glass fill the glass with water and add one tablespoon of lemon juice. Rinse mouth with solution once per day for about 30 seconds.

Step 4
You can also use hydrogen peroxide as a teeth whitening mouth rinse. Simply brush teeth as normal and then rinse with the hydrogen peroxide solution for about 30 seconds. Note that while hydrogen peroxide has been proven to be safe and nontoxic for teeth whitening, you should take care not to swallow it.
