Baking Soda and Lemon Juice
I discovered this little gem when I realized I wasn’t willing (or able) to fork over $50 plus on professional grade whitening strips.
- Combine a small amount of lemon juice and several teaspoons baking soda.
- Mix, until it creates a thick paste.
- Brush your teeth as usual, instead, using the paste – ensuring you reach both your front and back chompers.
- Repeat this process several days a week, until you reach your optimal shade.
How it works: Baking soda, aka sodium bicarbonate, is mildly abrasive and gently scrubs away surface stains for a whiter, brighter smile.
