One of the best ways to have a good first impression with someone you have never met before is by having a great smile
. It helps put the other person at ease and makes it seem like you are a person they can easily get along with. One thing I have noticed as of lately is that people are sometimes afraid to smile because they are embarrassed by their teeth. Most people today have stained and yellow teeth from drinking to much coffee or smoking and don't know how to get back those pearly white teeth. When it comes to teeth whitening there are some simple things you can do at home that will help.
One of the first things you can try is by using baking soda. A lot of people don't know this but baking soda has a lot of different purposes besides just sitting in the fridge purposes. Baking soda can be used when you brush your teeth and can be used with or without toothpaste. If you are afraid that this might damage your teeth you don't need to as most dentists see this as a safe way to whiten your teeth.
Another way you can try to whiten your teeth is by using hydrogen peroxide. This is one of the more pop ular ways to whiten your teeth as it is cheap and most people already have it in their homes. When using this there is the possibility that you might feel some burning in your gums. When trying to whiten your teeth with this you can either use a toothbrush or some cotton. Make sure though that you do not swallow any. On average most people will see some sort of results within a couple of weeks but it could happen sooner.
A third home remedy you can try to whiten your teeth is using strawberries. You're most likely reading this and thinking I'm crazy but strawberries contain natural teeth whitening agents and the seeds work great for cleaning. What you can do is mash it up and use it like toothpaste or you can try to rub them on your teeth. Make sure though that your brush your teeth after as strawberries do contain sugar and could cause cavities if you don't do so.
These are some simple things you can try at home to help whiten your teeth.
