Most people are afraid of these chemicals that still want their teeth whitened. There are plenty other ways to whiten your teeth without harming it. Here are a few ways to whiten your teeth.

Teeth whitening at the dentist

You can easily make an appointment with your dentist to get your teeth whitened. This is the safest and fastest way to get whiter teeth. Many dentists nowadays offer to do the procedure with lower costs and faster recoveries. The effects are long-term, and you only have to do it once, so it is definitely worth spending your money on. You can have a consultation first and choose the level of whiteness you want for your teeth.

Oil pulling method

The oil pulling method is a traditional Indian teeth whitening method. It is safe and proven to whiten teeth if performed daily. You can practice this with sesame oil, sunflower oil, or coconut oil. We recommend coconut oil because it tastes better than the other oils. Simply take one tablespoon of oil and swish your oil from the back to the front of your teeth, back and forth. This practice doesn’t expose your teeth to any harmful material, so it is safe to do daily.

Baking soda is an ingredient that is popular in toothpaste due to it containing whitening properties. It will scrub stains and bacteria from the surface of your teeth. It is also an everyday cooking ingredient which is easy to find in any supermarket. You can mix toothpaste and baking soda and brush your teeth with the mixture. Baking soda can also be used to whiten other parts of your body, such as underarms, elbows, and kneecaps.

Improve your diet

Diet is an important factor in your overall appearance. The right diet can also help to whiten your teeth. A balanced diet with a lot of fruits and vegetables can be beneficial to both your body and your teeth. Strawberries and pineapples are known to have components that can whiten your teeth.
