While there\u2019s many different ways to whiten your teeth, some of us would rather do it naturally.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Devoted Family Dental has tips on how you can naturally keep your teeth sparkling:<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Brush Your Teeth Right After Eating Or Drinking<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Brushing right after eating or drinking is a surefire way to keep your teeth white. We understand that it can be a bit difficult to always have your toothbrush and access to a restroom, but if you do, you should definitely do it! Although most food does not stain teeth, coffee and smoking WILL cause discoloration.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Baking Soda &amp; Hydrogen Peroxide<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide have a lot of uses, and one is for teeth whitening! To whiten your teeth with these substances, you will mix the two together to make a paste. Put the substance on your toothbrush and brush normally.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep in mind, baking soda can have a sandpaper feel if you don\u2019t add in enough hydrogen peroxide. The soda can unfortunately scrub the enamel off if the mixture isn\u2019t properly prepared.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Coconut Oil Pulling<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Coconut oil is such an amazing product. Not only can it make your skin soft and hair flawless, but it can also help whiten your teeth. All you have to do is put a spoonful of coconut oil in your mouth, and swish it between your teeth for 5 to 20 minutes. You can also add a few drops to your toothbrush and brush, or dab some coconut oil to a towel and wipe your teeth.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Strawberries<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Did you know that strawberries can whiten your teeth? This delicious fruit is tasty, full of antioxidants and will keep your pearly whites looking fresh. There\u2019s really no trick to this \u2013 just smash some strawberries and rub them on your teeth.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Lemon or Orange Peels<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Lemon and orange peels are great for your tummy, and also amazing for your teeth! Using lemon or orange peels is very similar to how you would use the strawberries. Just rub either of the two on your teeth, and you\u2019ll see a difference.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">However use extreme caution, since lemons and orange peels are acidic, you should limit the use because it can break down your enamel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Having white teeth is something that we all dream about.
