3 Natural Ways to Whiten Your Teeth

We all want a smile as bright as our favorite Hollywood celebrities. Unfortunately, those stunning white teeth cost a fortune, require continual maintenance, and are most likely the result of hours of chemical applications.

One-off cosmetic chemical teeth whiteners won’t do too much harm, but used frequently, can strip away the enamel that protects your teeth from cavities. It can make your teeth more vulnerable to plaque build-up, and more sensitive in general. This makes it harder to withstand the pain from daily brushing let alone continue with artificial whitening treatments.

There are better, cheaper and natural ways to get whiter, cleaner and brighter teeth. And it doesn’t mean you have to give up coffee, tea and red wine. Here are three of our favorite ingredients (okay, technically four!) to naturally whiten your teeth, reduce bacteria and increase your level of dental hygiene.
