Natural ways to brighten a smile

"The next time you With many people struggling to afford even the most basic dental needs, most individuals are not getting cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening. While having a whitening procedure done by a dental health professional is the most effective way to brighten a smile, there are some natural home remedies that may help. 

Los Angeles' ABC News affiliate reports that mixing baking soda with lemon juice and then applying the concoction to the teeth with a cotton swab may act as a natural bleaching agent. This mixture should be left on for one minute before being rinsed off. The news provider also suggested eating strawberries to whiten teeth.

"The next time you're at the produce aisle, pick up a basket of strawberries. The astringent and vitamin C work together to whiten. Either rub them on your teeth or mash them up - just make sure to brush immediately after," according ABC.

Woman's Day also reports that eating foods that produce more saliva may help teeth get back some of their shine. Some suggestions the news provider offered were pears, celery and carrots.
