Whiten your Teeth with Strawberries

Want to get those pearly yellows blinging white for the summer but don’t want to put a mortgage on your house to do so? Simple (and natural) solution is using strawberries and baking soda.

Instructions:

Strawberries contain malic acid, which acts as the primary stain remover. First grab a fork or another mashing utensil and smash the strawberry into a pulp.
Then mix about a teaspoon of baking soda into the strawberry mash. Baking soda is also great at removing unwanted teeth stains from coffee, tea or smoking.
Once the mixture is ready, it should be a light pinkish color. Use your toothbrush to apply some of the mixture to your teeth.
Let it sit on your teeth for about five minutes, then rinse.
Brush your teeth thoroughly with regular toothpaste. (Note: Many toothpastes use sugars to make the paste taste better. Try to find a paste with little or no sweeteners.)
Floss to remove any strawberry seeds. Rinse again using hydrogen peroxide to kill off bacteria and also to whiten teeth some more.
Finally rinse with water one more time.

Warning: Doing this process more than once a week is not recommended as it might erode tooth enamel.

Note: This whitening process does not work on dental repairs or dentures.
