Teeth

Many of us covet a sparkling, pearly white smile.
Being able to show off a winning grin can boost
our self-confidence and help us take pride in
maintaining our oral health. While getting
professional teeth whitening by a dentist near
you is always the best option, sometimes thats
not always feasible. Fortunately, there are safe,
easy, and affordable ways for you to whiten your
teeth at home, and they have been proven
effective time and time again.

Why Dont Our Teeth Stay White?
Ah, the age-old question. Our teeth consist of
four different tissues, which are the enamel,
cementum, dentin, and pulp, also known as the
innermost tissue where the nerves and blood
vessels are located. Tissues, and by extension,
our teeth, are porous, meaning that they absorb
different things, including the color of the
food. As a result, they become stained. Youve
probably heard from your dentist in edmonton that
stains build up naturally over time due to
eating and drinking multiple times a day.
Nourishment like berries, coffee, wine, and soy
sauce, as well as smoking, will stain your teeth
more severely than other things.

Tricks for Teeth Whitening at Home
If finding DIY ways to whiten your teeth in
Kingsway is something youre interested in, here
are some methods you should consider
5
Trick 1 Lemon Juice and Baking Soda.
This is one of the simplest tricks in the book to
achieve teeth whitening near you. All you need
to do is mix equal parts lemon juice and baking
soda until a paste forms. Brush this onto your
teeth and leave it to sit for about two
minutes. The acid in the lemon juice acts as a
natural brightener, o it will gradually remove
the stains over time. And the baking soda is
there to balance out the acid and make sure that
your teeth arent damaged.

Trick 2 Activated Charcoal
Rub black charcoal to get whiter teeth, you say?
Sounds silly, but it works! Its important that
you purchase medical-grade charcoal or, in other
words, charcoal that is purposefully designed to
help brighten teeth. Dip your toothbrush into
the charcoal (which will come as a powder) and
spread it over your teeth, leaving it to sit for
approximately forty-five seconds to a minute.
This lets the charcoal seep into the pores on
your teeth and thus, the stains. Next, brush the
charcoal over your teeth, rinse, and then brush
with ordinary toothpaste, and voila! The
whitening process has begun!

Trick 3 Oil Pulling
As is the way with DIY methods, there are some
that people swear by and others that some are
unsure about. Rest assured, this trick is
harmless and is great for those dealing with
teeth sensitivity. Essentially, oil pulling is
meant to extract the bacteria from inside your
mouth, boosting your oral cleanliness and
promoting teeth whitening. All you have to do is
swish coconut oil in your mouth for fifteen to
thirty minutes and then brush your teeth.

Trick 4 Rub Lemon Rinds on Your Teeth
The chemistry behind this trick is almost
identical to that of brushing with lemon juice
and baking soda. The lemon rinds also contain
acid that will induce brightness its just less
aggressive than using lemon juice. Again, this
is a good option for those with sensitive teeth.
Just be sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly
afterward.
