If there’s one thing everyone knows about my grandma, it’s her big, happy smile. At 80 years old, she has the type of teeth that many people try hard to get at the dentist or with costly home kits. But what is the key to her success? It seems that my grandma strongly believes in a simple teeth-whitening method that requires very little effort. What’s the best thing? You probably already have everything you need at home.
In this article, I will share my grandmother’s favorite way to keep her teeth very white, explain how it works, and give some tips on how to make the most of this easy and effective routine.
The Special Element: Baking Soda
My grandmother’s tip for whitening teeth is based on using baking soda. You may know that baking soda is good for cleaning and removing odors, but it’s also a great natural way to make teeth whiter. Nana found out about this tip many years ago, way before there were many teeth-whitening products available, and she has been using it ever since.
Why use baking soda?
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a slightly rough material. This toothpaste is great for removing stains on your teeth caused by coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco. Baking soda is mildly abrasive and can help remove particles from the enamel without harming the teeth.
Additionally, baking soda is a base that can help regulate the acidity in your mouth by balancing its pH level. This feature helps to shield tooth enamel from damage caused by acidic foods and beverages. Moreover, baking soda has antibacterial properties that can decrease the bacteria in your mouth, improving your oral health.
How to Whiten Your Teeth with Baking Soda
Using baking soda to whiten teeth is very easy and doesn’t require much extra effort. Here’s how you can include my grandma’s technique in your daily schedule:
Make a paste with baking soda by mixing a little baking soda with water until it becomes thick. You can use around half a teaspoon of baking soda and add a little water until it becomes a paste.
