Smile Tip - 4 Fruitful Ways to Brighten Your Smile

Strawberries:

Rub strawberries on teeth or brush a paste of crushed strawberries and baking soda once or twice a week to make them shine. Thoroughly clean teeth afterwards to avoid decay from the sugar in the strawberries

Orange Peel:

Buff teeth with the inside of the peel or combine ground bay leaves and dried orange peel to create a paste that you can brush on your teeth to create a brilliant shine

Lemon Juice:

Adding a drop of lemon juice to salt or baking soda helps whiten and clean teeth. Just don’t use lemon and baking soda paste more than once a week; the acidic nature of lemon juice can eat away at the enamel

Apple Cider Vinegar:

Mix apple cider vinegar with baking soda to make a paste to brush onto teeth, or gargle with it daily before brushing to help remove surface stains

Smile Tip - Easy Ways to Maintain a Whiter Smile

To maintain a pearly white smile, avoid dark beverages such as coffee, tea and red wine all together! If you can’t live without caffeine or a glass of wine, apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the teeth prior to drinking to create a protective barrier – or chew on raw, crunchy vegetables such as celery and carrots to mechanically remove surface stains from the enamel.
