April 6, 2009


Good teeth make a good face. We all want to have a great smile and see smiling faces around. But all those smiling faces seem so beautiful only when the show a set of well set sparkling white teeth. Yellow teeth are something that makes us embarrassed; no one likes to show off a set of dirty yellow teeth. But how do we get those pearl like sparkling white teeth? Here are some easy home remedies to help you achieve that.

Home remedies

Lemon and common salt

Make a paste of few drops of lemon juice and a pinch of common salt. Apply this to your teeth and massage gently as if brushing. This helps to remove the stain from the teeth.

Orange peel

Massage your teeth with the inside of orange peels. Orange peels have a very mild bleaching agent in them which removes the stain from the teeth without damaging the enamel.

Bay leaves

Take 6 bay leaves and dry them till they are crispy. Make a powder of them and add it with powdered orange peels. Massage this to your teeth daily. This ensures sparkling white teeth in a fortnight.

Strawberries

Strawberries not only taste sweet, they are also very good in cleaning the teeth. Although they are sweet in taste, they do not damage or decay the teeth. Instead, they help remove stains from the teeth and make them sparkling white.

Apple cider and white vinegar

Apple cider and white vinegar are also very effective in removing stain from teeth. Both have bleaching agents in them and help remove stain fast. But they are very strong and regular use of it can damage the enamel. Moreover, they taste very bitter. Wood ash is also very good in removing yellow stains form teeth but it damages the enamel permanently and causes painful teeth. This should never be tried out.

Brush your teeth twice a day and avoid the use of fancy gels and chemicals on your teeth to remove the stain. They help in removing the stains but also damage the enamel, making the teeth weak. This may later result in toothaches and tooth decay.
