Although statistics vary depending on which organization you check, it is Americans spend an estimated $600 million per year on teeth-whitening products, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission reports that in 2007, each dentist who belonged to this Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry performed 70 teeth-whitening procedures, and made $25,000 for those procedures --- which totalled $138 million a year from this one industry group alone. In addition to whitening procedures performed in the dentist office, Americans can now whiten their teeth at non-dentist cosmetic stalls in shopping malls or stand-alone shops or buy any number of at-home teeth whitening products. Procter and Gamble was the first, with its Crest White Strips. They are now available in 14-day treatments or 7-day treatments. But before there was Crest or any Rembrandt or any of the other products on the shelf, people used home made remedies to naturally whiten their teeth. Here are the best natural home made remedies to whiten your teeth: 1. Baking Soda. Bicarbonate of soda has been used as a toothpaste for over 100 years. The fine particles act as a mild abrasive, scraping away stains caused by coffee or tea or foods with dark dyes such as blueberries. Just make a paste with a little water and brush gently, starting with the often neglected molars and back teeth and working your way to the front. Finish with a rinse of warm water. 2. Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide can be used as a mouth wash. Hydrogen peroxide is a bleach which gently whitens your teeth over time. In fact, hydrogen peroxide is also the bleach used by dentists to whiten teeth in the dentist office. The difference is that the dentist uses a much higher concentration of the cleach (between 20 to 25%), while the concentration available over-the-counter is usually 10% or less. 2. Pineapples. The fiber acts as a natural abrasive. 3. Strawberries. The fiber acts as a natural abrasive. Strawberries also contain Xylitol, a natural compound that protects the teeth and gums against plaque. Soldiers chew gum containing Xylitol to protect their teeth. Certain trees in Africa also have bark which contains Xylitol, and this is believed to be the reason that people who over many thousands of years have eaten the bark of these trees to whiten their teeth. In India, many people eat the twigs of the Neem tree also to whiten teeth. 4. Eucalyptus sticks. These whiten teeth and sooth the gums. Related Links How to Stop Bad Breath |
