You can make a simple home remedy for teeth whitening by mixing table salt with lemon juice. This mixture can be stored and used for up to several months. Use this paste on your toothbrush just as you would regular tooth paste. This helps to break up tartar, which contributes to stains, on your teeth, providing a whiter surface.

 

Make regular appointments to have your teeth cleaned by a dentist. You need to schedule these appointments at least once a year. The discoloration on your teeth may not be caused by actual staining but simply by plaque build-up, which is difficult to remove without the professional tools your dentist has.

 

Always eat and drink with care after your teeth have just been whitened. Newly-whitened teeth are prone to absorbing stains and colors easily. Stay away from dark foods and beverages after your teeth have been whitened. Coffee will easily be absorbed by your teeth and can cause discoloration.

 

When using a teeth whitening kit be sure to follow the directions exactly as they are written. Do not think that if you leave it on longer that you are going to see better results. It can irritate your gums and could lead to some really serious problems down the road. The directions are there to be followed.

 

Use baking soda to brush your teeth. This is a natural substance that can help whiten teeth. It is important to be gentle when you are brushing with baking soda. It can irritate the gums if you are not gentle.

 

Do not start a home teeth whitening treatment without going to the dentist to have an exam done. You do not want to use any of these treatments if you have untreated cavities in your mouth. The same goes for gum disease. These things should be treated prior to any treatment.

 

Strawberries are a great natural teeth whitener. You can rub them on your teeth for a quick whitening method. You can also mash them up and make them into a paste. You can then brush the paste on your teeth and leave it there for 5 minutes, then rinse your mouth out.

 

Drinking through a straw is going to help you keep your teeth looking whiter longer. It will reduce the time that the drink has to settle on your teeth and cause stains. The straw will carry the drink past your teeth and closer to your throat keeping it from getting to your teeth.
