You will be surprised when you see the results after regularly using this paste on your teeth.
#2. Apple cider vinegar
This is good for removing even the stubborn stains from your pearly whites, especially those caused by nicotine and caffeine. Just dip your toothbrush in apple cider vinegar and brush your teeth with it. After this, do gargle your mouth properly to get rid of any acidic residual. You can also use apple cider vinegar as a gargle solution.
#3. Celery
Celery is one of the most effective vegetables to get shiny white teeth. Chewing raw celery is great for your teeth. It is almost like a massage for them. Celery dislodges the plaque that might have settled on your teeth, leaving them clean. Apart from this, tiny fibres of celery that get stuck in between your teeth act as a natural floss as well. So, time to add this vegetable to your grocery list, we say!
#4. Salt
Salt is a great ingredient to add to your teeth whitening kit. Just sprinkle some salt on your toothbrush while brushing your teeth to get them sparkling clean. It is best to use either table or sea salt for this. You can also mix a pinch of salt with a teaspoon of baking soda to make a teeth whitening mixture. Rub this on your teeth with your fingertips. Baking soda is another good teeth whitening ingredient.
#5. Vegetables
Apart from celery, there are many more vegetables say, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber, etc., that are all natural teeth cleansers. It is best to eat a raw vegetable daily to keep your teeth white.
#6. Fruit power
Not just veggies, but even fruits are good for your teeth. Pears and apples are the best of the lot. And, yes we already told you about the goodness of strawberries. Chewing pears and apples increases the secretion of saliva that helps to keep your teeth clean and white. So, add these fruits to your daily diet starting from today.
#7. Orange peel
Orange peels are also good for your teeth. Just rub the inside of an orange peel on your teeth to get them sparkling white. You can also dry the orange peels and grind them into a powder to add it to your daily teeth cleaning ritual. Yes, use this powder daily to see effective results.
#8. Water
Water is not just great for your health, but for your teeth as well. Water keeps your mouth hydrated and reduces acidity too. Sipping water in between your alcholic drinks and while eating dark, pigmented foods will keep your teeth clean by preventing them from staining.
#9. Say no to certain aerated drinks
Aerated drinks work like poison for your teeth. The acid in these drinks robs you of the upper layers of your tooth, which contain calcium and phosphorus, thus weakening your jaw bones. Make sure you avoid black coffee as well because it will stain your teeth, which will steal their shine and make them look dull.
#10. Avoid alcohol and smoking
Smoking is not only bad for your body, but also for your gums and teeth. Yes, drugs, alcohol and smoking can cause major issues to your teeth and gums. They can cause the erosion of the enamel from the teeth that will make them look old. A lot of people who smoke suffer from gum issues in the future and so it is best to avoid smoking, drugs and other forms of tobacco as much as possible to get sparkling white teeth.
