The 10 Best Ways to Naturally Whiten Yellow Teeth at Home

Having a perfect smile is many people’s ultimate goal. And since dentists can be quite expensive, many people have to resort to homemade solutions. However, every unsupervised method can have side effects for some people. So, we think you should proceed with caution.

10. Activated charcoal

Activated charcoal is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to naturally whiten your teeth. Crush up one charcoal tablet into a powder. Dip your clean wet toothbrush into it, and brush your teeth as you normally do.

9. Powdered milk and toothpaste

Powdered milk will help to make your teeth pearly white and keep them healthy. Put some toothpaste on your toothbrush, add a bit of powdered milk on top of it, and brush your teeth.

8. Baking soda and lemon juice

Put a pinch of baking soda on your toothbrush, and add a few drops of lemon juice over it to get a set of shining teeth. Remember not to use this whitening method more frequently than once a week.

7. Hydrogen peroxide

Before using hydrogen peroxide, make sure that your teeth aren’t too sensitive. If everything is fine, simply dip a cotton swab into the peroxide, and gently rub your teeth. However, this whitening technique isn’t recommended for frequent use as it can harm your enamel.

6. Baking powder and lemon juice

A teaspoon of baking powder and a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice will work wonders in just 2 minutes. Don’t keep this mixture on your teeth for more than 2 minutes.

5. Sea salt, lemon juice, and toothpaste

Mix half a teaspoon of sea salt and some freshly squeezed lemon juice with a small amount of toothpaste in a bowl. Apply the mixture to your teeth, and leave it on for a minute before rinsing your mouth thoroughly.

4. Lemon juice and water

А mixture of equal parts lemon juice and water will help to restore whiteness to your teeth and completely disinfect your oral cavity.

3. Apple cider vinegar and water

Dilute half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. Rinse your mouth with this solution every morning before brushing your teeth.

2. A strawberry

Take a ripe strawberry, and mash it up with a spoon. Brush your teeth with this "paste" for a few minutes to get rid of yellow stains.

1. Toothpaste, salt, baking soda, and lemon juice

Mix a tablespoon of toothpaste, a pinch of salt, a bit of baking soda, and 4-5 drops of lemon juice in a bowl. Brush your teeth with this mixture for 4-5 minutes. You’ll see the difference after just one use. Use this method once every 2 months.

Warning: Don’t use all these methods at the same time, and don’t resort to home whitening if you have problems with your teeth.
