Tooth whitening natural treatments aren't all the same. Some are quite delicate and relatively inexpensive, while others are more aggressive and can cause serious damage tooth enamel.
- Even if they are natural, they should be used in moderation.
For example, excessive use of bicarbonate can cause gum bleeding, a change in the natural bacterial flora of the mouth.
Here is a list with 6 natural remedies for teeth whitening:
1. Sodium bicarbonate
It removes stains and imperfections in the dental enamel making the teeth shiny. It is used as a simple toothpaste. It is necessary to rinse your mouth thoroughly.
To benefit from tooth whitening without the negative effects, it should be used once, up to twice a month.
2. Sage
This removes stains formed on the outer surface of the tooth by its chemical and mechanical action (abrasive), and also has a good antibacterial effect.
Sage is also a good remedy for painful gums that, due to its astringent effect, prevents or removes infections.
