Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, The hydrogen peroxide bleaches your teeth. The baking soda allows the peroxide flow into your enamel.
Reply:brush with baking soda
Reply:use baking soda
Reply:One way is to brush your teeth with baking soda mixed with regular table salt. It works but it causes a slight burning sensation after you rinse.
Reply:a simple remedy is to apply lemon juice and salt andgently brush with finger and rinse as lemon tends to bleach dont overdo
Reply:Some folks simply go ahead and take matters into their own hands, risking damage to their teeth and gums in the process. Do not use baking soda!!!





Keep your teeth clean. That means daily brushing. An electric toothbrush may be more effective if you don't do a thorough job manually. But don't get carried away; bearing down too hard when you brush or using a hard-bristled brush can create grooves in the teeth at their roots. You can brush with a light touch and still do a thorough cleaning job.


Floss. Ever notice how stained teeth look worse around the edges? That's because the plaque (a thin, nearly invisible layer of bacteria and food debris) that accumulates between teeth and at the gum line attracts stains like a magnet. Limit plaque with flossing, and you'll fight stains, too.


Better yet a water pick is even better.





Only your dentist can correct intrinsic stains, through the use of such cosmetic procedures as composite resin bonding and porcelain laminate veneers (which essentially cover the offending colored area with opaque material). Stains from food and drink can often be removed with a professional dental cleaning. A more expensive and time-consuming option is in-office bleaching.
Reply:whitening strips they work but be care full it will make you teeth sensitive. but yes it will whiten your teeth.
Reply:Proxide is what dentist use and what is in teeth whitners, the thing about whiteners is you need to leave it on your teeth a while. So when you do this make sure to try not to let it stay on your gums long. Listerine has a proxide mouthwash which works pretty good. The strips also work well but since they do stip your teeth of thier natural make up they can leave your teeth sensative. Teeth color depends on where you grew up if thier was floride in the water or if you lived in an area where there was a high iron content, these minerals can make the teeth discolored which is only because your body used what was avaible to form your teeth. When you whiten them you are actually taking out the minerals and this is why they may become sensative. Over whitening can damage your teeth by making them clear and brittle. If you ever have seen people with teeth that look translusent it is because they have over whitened them. What you want to do is get a toothpaste which is high in titanium dioxide like ultrabrite. Titanium dioxcide embeds itself into the the enamel making your teeth appear whiter. So a combination of bleaching with proxide and titanium will make your teeth appear whiter. Just be careful in bleaching.
Reply:I just recently found a toothpaste by Arm %26amp; Hammer that has baking soda and peroxide as the active ingredients. I think it may be new. I started using it about a week ago, and I really like it. It sort of has a "gritty" texture which seems like it helps clean my teeth better. Also has a really fresh taste. They claim to whiten your teeth after 1 tube. After a week of use, I think I can tell a difference already. Other than that, I have used Crest White Strips. They seem to work pretty well.
Reply:You can used Peroxide as a whiter. However DO not swallow it.That works just as well as Baking Soda.


Also, try flossing after each meal ,and purchase a tongue Scrapper to keep tongue refresh.

Dental care %26amp; mouth care.








After every meal, chew a little salt and gargle with water. Soft brush can be used to clean the particles caught between the teeth and the gums. Make it habit to clean the teeth every morning and before retiring to bed. In India, people use thin twig of a Babul, Banyan or a Neem tree (known as Datoon) as a brush. First it is to be crushed to make it soft and then use it like a brush. It is advisable to us a Datoon of Babul, Banyan or Neem tree at least once a day.





It is reported by experienced dentists that tooth pastes available in the marked are not much effective. Instead, the following tooth powder or paste which can be easily made at home has been found quite useful for the care of gums and teeth :





1. Tooth Powder : Mixture of finely ground alum powder 40% and rock salt or regular salt powder 60%. For better results, a few drops of lemon may be added. In case of dental problems, adding a little of 'Sudarshan' (a bitter Ayrvedic powder is also recommended.





2. Tooth-paste : For dental problems like bleeding, pyorrhoea, toothache,gingivitis, etc. make a paste of





50% alum powder


10% rock salt or table salt powder


10% Sudarshan powder (an Ayurvedic preparation)


15% edible oil (unrefined)


10% glycerine tanic acid


5% camphor.





The paste made of this mixture can be massaged on the teeth and gums in the morning and evening with fingers. It ca be packed in collapsible tubes/jars and used, as tooth-paste.





3. Even massaging the gums with a mixture of 70% unrefined edible oil (seasame or groundnut or coconut), 15% glycerine tanic acid and 15% fine powder of rock salt or table salt is useful for good, healthy teeth and gums. Make it a daily habit. Please not that healthy gums are more useful than sparkling white teeth.





4. Mouth Freshener : Gargling with a lemon juice mixed with lukewarm water, freshens the mouth. Take a quarter of a lemon, massage it on teeth and gums and then gargle with water. Even chewing of mango, tulsi or betel leaves after meals is good, and so it is advised in India.





5. Exercises for teeth : Keep the lips closed. Pound the upper teeth on lower teeth for 30 to 40 times twice a day. Then massage the saliva on gums with the tongue. That will ensure proper blood circulation in teeth and increase the life of healthy teeth and gums.
