We all want a bright, beautiful smile, but those home kits can be awful. The taste is bad, the kit is expensive, and they take so long to effectively work. Likewise, going into a dentist for a whitening is rarely an option for those of us who have no dental insurance, or not a lot of time. But you can get the same effect at home, and naturally!

There are many recipes for this, but one easy one that is often used in the Strawberry Trick. You take a strawberry, remove the leaves, and smash it until it makes a kind of pulpy paste. From there, you add in half of a teaspoon of baking soda, mix well, and apply to your teeth like toothpaste. Wait five to ten minutes, then remove, making sure to gargle well to get all food particles from the teeth. You can do this a few times a week, and will see a noticeable difference.

You can also use baking soda alone, as it will strip away any lingering food particles, as well as any easily removed coloring from the enamel itself. Just add a little water to some baking soda and brush like you would with toothpaste. Just don’t do it too often, as it can remove the protective coating of the teeth.
