Teeth whitening remedies

47 comments

Teeth could be naturally dark or could be discolored by repeated exposure to beverages like tea, coffee or red wine, smoking and also medications apart from decay and trauma to the tooth. If you want your captivating smile to be adorned by a row of glistening pearly white teeth, then try these treatments and remedies:

‘In chair’ bleaching at the dentist for teeth whitening
Though there are several options available for teeth whitening, bleaching at a cosmetic dentistry clinic can significantly lighten your teeth within an hour. A large percentage of the people who have undergone bleaching have experienced a positive change in the color of their teeth. Read about it at About Cosmetic dentisty.

‘At home’ teeth whitening bleaching kit
The ‘at home’ teeth whitening technique is also a popular bleaching procedure to whiten your teeth. You can obtain the bleaching kit from your dentist or make an over-the counter purchase. Use it conveniently at night and the gel should work while you sleep. It takes anywhere between two to six weeks for noticeable results but the effect lasts for more than two years. For more details on these two techniques, visit the ADA FAQ page.

Teeth whitening- home remedies
1) Rubbing the teeth with a little baking soda or coarse salt will do the trick.
2) Liberal quantities of gooseberry (amla) and onions in your diet will prevent tooth decay and make your teeth bright and healthy.
3) If your teeth have become yellowish, brush teeth with salt, baking soda (soda bicarb) or sage leaf.
4) For sparkling teeth, brushing of teeth once a day with table salt, lime juice and rough ash got from burning paddy husk is also suggested.

An electric toothbrush, a high flouride toothpaste and start eating a few apples a day plus other fruit. Fruit is acidic n removes stains on teeth.
However some people's teeth aren't naturally very white.

Best and safest home remedy: Homemade tooth paste: One of the better home recipes for whiter teeth is a paste consisting of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, table salt and a dab of toothpaste. Mix it all together and brush away stains

Reena said...

Tons of things, there are teeth whitening toothbrushes, there are whitening strips and some various other products.
What I found most effective (and best deal) is using one of those listerine advanced / pro mouth wash. Great to freshen your breath, fight gingivitis and of course, whiten your teeth (and yes, I learned this from commericals. XD) But I have used it myself, and it's proved to be effective.

Those are the fastest way to keep your teeth white, other than the typical don't drink coffee, or smoke, or other various ways of staining your teeth

Orange Peels, A best easiest, effective and safe way for numerous individuals
Peel of an orange and rubs the backside along the teeth that the teeth will naturally sparkle. The back part of orange (the white part) will give out a beautiful white shine. The combination of the bay leaves and orange peels for a great tooth whitening recipe. Attention : Let the orange peel dry out as well, because there are vitamin C in the wateriness of orange peel and the vitamin C is not great for your teeth.

I’m not really sure how safe they are but one thing’s for sure, these white strips really really work! Would love more info about them

If you want white healthy teeth forget harsh oral bleach and get yourself some sesame oil (not the toasted type, just plain cold pressed oil and organic if possible). By using the sesame oil as a mouthwash you can improve the health of your gums and teeth and help detox the upper part of your digestive system.

Whitening a Discolored Tooth.There is a bleaching procedure to be done by the dentist, only on a root-canal treated tooth. It is painless and it really remedies the dark stain without invading the whole rest of the tooth for veneers or crowns. The dentist puts a strong oxidizing material inside the tooth and then seals it up with filling, you walk around a week or two and it gradually lightens, repeat two or three times until it's a bit too light, then the oxidizer is removed and the permanent filling is done. The color rebounds just a bit until it's about right. I've seen people really pleased with these. Not good for a very dark one,

Niranjan said...

I just started using Crest White strips Classic today per the recommendation of my dentist. I got the 14 day kit so I will let you know my experience.
Thank you for the information.

Anupam said...

You can also save money by putting the smallest amount of baking soda on your toothpaste. Do not do it to much, it will wear off the enamel on your teeth. Do it once every other day. It works for me.

Padmini said...

This was an enjoyable article. Look forward to reading more from you. :)

Use Dentech toothpaste and Dazzlewhite toothpaste. Maybe you have gotten dirty teeth because you don't brush after every meal, or because you have worn braces and a retainer. Then just use Dentech "smile" and Dazzlewhite "white teeth"and your teeth will be back the normal white!

Babita said...

Thanks for bringing these to my attention!!

Vaishnavi said...

Thanks for the tips!

Mohan said...

Quit smoking as tobacco is the top tooth stainer. Smoking tends to discolor the teeth to an unpleasant Grey. Do not chew betel leaf, betel nut or tobacco. Avoid excessive tea/coffee/beverages, as they tend to stain the teeth. Don’t scrape the surface of teeth with any sharp instrument as these will roughen the teeth and make them even more yellow.

Gargle Peroxide.

Ramani said...

strips are generally a good product, they are not custom-fitted to your mouth like trays. The polyethylene strips are somewhat rigid and can make it difficult to get the product into the crevices of the teeth. The part of the enamel that is in more contact with the product will whiten significantly more than other areas that may be hard to reach.

If you want to go natural, instead of rinsing with water, swish your toothbrush around in hydrogen peroxide, then apply toothpaste and brush. Hydrogen peroxide has a natural whitening effect.

I used Crest Whitestrips a few years ago and they worked really well. I didn't notice them making my teeth any more sensitive than they already were (mine are a little sensitive to cold, but not very). My teeth were white for like a year or so after having used them! It does take some discipline, though

Soubhagya said...

Opt for a toothpaste with the ADA seal. This seal guarantees that the toothpaste will help stave off tooth decay and gum disease.

Guorish said...

You can dip your wet toothbrush in baking soda and brush your teeth for a whitening effect.

Store-brought toothpaste contains fluoride, and ingesting too much of it can have long-term, detrimental effects on your health. You can completely avoid this problem by making your own all-natural toothpaste containing no harmful ingredients. Mix 3 tablespoons baking soda, 10 drops tea tree oil, 10 drops peppermint essential oil. Mix together into a paste and store in a clear glass jar to use up for the entire week.

The malic acid in grapes naturally breaks down stains and discolorations on teeth.
