Whiter teeth are something that many people desire today.
Our grandmothers always have the best natural remedies. You may have never tried this recipe for white, clean and shiny teeth that includes only two ingredients.
Mix the two needed ingredients and your smile will be like those of the TV commercials.
Needed ingredients:
1 lemon
30 grams of sodium bicarbonate
How to prepare it?
Squeeze the lemon and mix it with the sodium bicarbonate. This mixture will create foam, so wait until the reaction is over. Next, soak a piece of cotton in the mixture and put it on your teeth. Leave it on for a minute.
If you often perform this procedure for teeth whitening, wait two hours minimum before brushing your teeth. Don’t brush them immediately.
Remember this:
Never leave the mixture on your teeth and wash your mouth afterwards. If you leave the mixture for hours, the acid will corrode the tooth glade and it may damage your teeth if repeated. So, it is always important to thoroughly rinse your mouth after using this mixture.
Sodium bicarbonate is mildly abrasive. Also, it is very alkaline. It will reduce the acidity of the lemon juice, which acts as a natural bleach.
Excessive use of sodium bicarbonate can have the reverse effect of cleaning, break down the enamel over time and make your teeth sensitive.
