While on a quest to achieve a smile as pristine as pearls and diamonds, you may have tried all sorts of products such as over-the-counter whitening strips, gels and toothpaste that promised you an instant snow white smile.
You might have also paid a visit to the dentist for a stronger dose of bleaching agent for your teeth.
All of the above options cost money and contain chemicals that may cause an uncomfortable sensitive sensation after using them. Therefore, searching for natural alternatives is a no-brainer when it comes to polishing your teeth.
One specific natural ingredient comes to mind. You can find it in your kitchen where you’ve probably used it for baking cake.
Baking soda is like a Swiss army knife. It can be used as a natural deodorant, hand cleanser and can even be made into a paste to soothe insect bites.
The icing on the cake here is that it can be also used as a natural whitener for your teeth. How? Check out the tips below.
Baking Soda and Lemon Juice

Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate is not only for baking your favorite chocolate cake. If you mix a couple of teaspoons with enough lemon juice to create a paste, you can use this lemony mixture to brush your teeth and then wash it off after one minute. You can also apply the paste directly to your stained tooth and leave it for around two minutes.
Salt, Strawberry and Baking Soda

The salty-sweet trio work extremely well together. For starters, strawberries are rich in malic acid which is great for removing stains. Salt will provide you with the scrubbing texture, while baking soda does its polishing, cleaning and deodorizing magic.
For this red berry scrub you will need:Â one ripe strawberry, a sprinkle of sea salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda. First, you need to mash the strawberry really well before adding in your salt and baking soda. Spread the mixture all over your teeth and leave it on for five minutes. Afterwards, brush your teeth and then rinse the mixture off.
It’s important to note that the scrub should be used no more than once a week. Excessive use could potentially harm your tooth enamel.

This dynamic duo make an effective whitening paste. All you have to do is mix a teaspoon of baking soda with half a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. Make sure the paste is soft and sticky enough for you to brush your teeth with. Leave the paste on for one minute and then feel free to wash it off with either water or mouthwash. You can purchase hydrogen peroxide from any drugstore. Just make sure it says 3% solution on the brown bottle because this percentage is safe for oral use.

Baking soda also works in sync with your everyday toothpaste. The combination of fluoride paste and whitening baking soda will add an extra dose of polishing and whitening to your usual brushing routine.
