Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and
are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural
tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries
but certain precautions have to be taken.

"The best home methods are baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. "

Baking soda can really ruin your teeth over time because it’s
so gritty.

Hydrogen Peroxide is a ‘bleach’. Many dentists and their assistants will recommend hydrogen peroxide to you.

I have been told however that the problem with hydrogen peroxide is that it will turn your tongue brown. Your tongue has these little hairs on it. The hydrogen peroxide aids in their growth.

If you want a little furry rug on your tongue then go the hydrogen peroxide route.

Neither method is a suitable replacement for brushing your teeth
and flossing.

" eating fresh crunchy veggies and fruits such as: carrots, broccoli, celery, apples, strawberries, and cucumbers can help whiten your teeth. I’ve worked in the dental field for years and have seen many teeth damaged because people thought that brushing with baking soda or eating lemons whitened their teeth."

Well there aren’t really any home remedies for tooth whitening. A good over the counter product to try though is Crest Whitestrips I’ve seen quite a few people get a favorable result from them. However be aware if your teeth are sensitve to cold, whitening products can make that worse.

To avoid having your teeth stain further shy away from things like cola, tea, coffee, dark juices and red wine. Rinsing w/ water right after drinking any of these would also help prevent stain.

Good luck.
