HOME REMEDIES FOR WHITEN TEETH

Teeth staining is a common occurrence. It happens when the outer layer of your teeth, or your enamel, becomes discolored. There are many teeth whitening products on the market. You can choose from whitening toothpaste, strips, or gel. Your dentist may also offer professional bleaching. But these treatments can be expensive. They also contain chemicals, which may be harsh on your teeth and gums. If you’d like to whiten your teeth without chemicals, you may be looking for more natural remedies. One option is to eat foods that naturally whiten your teeth. Though there’s some evidence that these foods work, their effects are mainly anecdotal and theoretical. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to try them. Read on to learn about these foods and how they may lighten your teeth. Strawberries Strawberries contain malic acid. This acid is said to have bleaching properties, which may help lighten stained teeth. Malic acid can also increase saliva production in people with dry mouth. Saliva protects against tooth decay, a common cause of discoloration, by washing away food and debris. Watermelon Watermelon has more malic acid than strawberries. The malic acid could play a role in lightening your teeth and promoting saliva production. Some people also say the fibrous texture of watermelon scrubs your teeth, which helps remove stains. There’s no scientific evidence to back up this claim, though.
