Stop Using Chemicals to Whiten Your Teeth! …There’s a better way

Why use those chemicals to whiten your teeth when you probably have the ingredients on hand to do it naturally.

All you need:

  1. Baking Soda
  2. Salt
  3. Water

In a small dish mix equal parts baking soda and table salt. Dip a damp tooth brush into the mixture. Brush your teeth as normal. Then rinse.

Or, you can make a paste by adding a little water to the mix.

I would say this is a much better way to whiten your teeth than those sticky strips. Plus, this way you know you aren’t damaging you teeth.

Of course, this method doesn’t work over night or as quickly as the strips. So my suggestion, if you need those pearly whites for a special occasion this weekend; use the strips but then start a regular cleaning with the baking soda and salt to maintain the whiteness.

    No, it WONT harm your teeth…it is only the popular arm & hammer type brands that will. Its because there is ALUMINUM in it. Its totally processed and toxic for your mouth and skin-. So look for Bob’s Mill brand NON-aluminum baking soda. Then you can not only whiten your teeth, but alkalinize, deodorize and deeply cleanse your whole blood system as well. Also, the salt should NOT be table salt(iodized)..it should be Real brand salt or SEA salt only- that table stuff is DANGEROUS to your health. Happy brushing!
