5. Baking Soda and Lemon Juice
The combination of baking soda and lemon juice creates a powerful whitening solution due to the citric acid in lemons and the abrasive nature of baking soda. This method can effectively remove surface stains and brighten your smile.
- How to Use: Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with enough lemon juice to form a paste. Apply the paste to your teeth and leave it on for one minute. Brush your teeth gently and rinse thoroughly with water. Use this method sparingly, as the acidity can weaken enamel if overused.
6. Strawberry and Baking Soda Paste
Strawberries contain malic acid, which helps dissolve stains on teeth. When combined with baking soda, it can create an effective natural teeth-whitening solution.
- How to Use: Mash one or two ripe strawberries and mix them with half a teaspoon of baking soda to form a paste. Apply the paste to your teeth and leave it on for five minutes. Brush your teeth and rinse well. Use this method once a week to avoid damaging your enamel.
