How to Whiten Teeth

When you look in the mirror, do you notice your teeth are discolored due to the coffee or tea you drink ? You can check out the new whitening methods that are sold in the stores, or you can make your own paste and get the same results!

Steps:
  1. Brush your teeth thoroughly.
  2. Mix about one tablespoon of baking soda with about 1/2 a table spoon of peroxide paste.
  3. Put this paste on your toothbrush, and brush your teeth for three to five minutes.
  4. Rinse and do this at least twice a month.

Tips:

  • Avoid food that will stain your teeth, like coffee, and soda. Smoking stains your teeth too.

Warnings:

  • If your gums look swollen or hurt after doing this then stop immediately or limit this method to once a month.
  • Any small cuts in your mouth may be sensitive to the peroxide, but it's actually just cleaning out the wound, and it does tingle a bit.
  • Do not swallow the paste!
Things You'll Need:
  • Baking Soda
  • Peroxide
  • Toothbrush
