No matter where you look, good oral hygiene is broadcast.
If you look at billboards or magazines, you see the gleaming smiles of the models in the great photo spreads.
Unfortunately, too many people think that the only way to good teeth is by using a bleaching procedure at the dentists.
You're in for some shocking news, because not only are those bleaching procedures bad for your teeth, they're completely unnecessary...
Those who wish to visit the dentist and get fitted for a trey as well as expose themselves to the harsh chemicals associated with the bleaching, usually think it is the only option.
They spend thousands of dollars and months on trying to get whiter teeth.
If they only knew that a simple at-home recipe for baking soda has shown to have a small effect on teeth whitening.
If you're looking to try it, mix six teaspoons of baking soda with four teaspoons of glycerin.
Add a pinch of salt and some peppermint extract.
Mix it up vigorously and apply it to your toothbrush.
After doing this for a few weeks, you'll see a minor difference in the color of your teeth.
Many people add hydrogen peroxide to their recipe as well.
I would caution against this, as it is easy to put too much peroxide in and forget to dilute it.
This will not cause severe harm, but it may cause minor discomfort for the rest of the evening.
Of course, for more dramatic results, you can try one of the few "at-home" teeth whitening products that are on the market today.
They all have safe ingredients, and most of them have a risk-free trial that you can use to evaluate whether or not it is for you.
