Having great teeth is very important in our culture today. Your teeth are one of the first things people notice. They are a sign of health as well as confidence.

A shining set of sparkling white teeth can make anyone appear more attractive, healthy and younger.
Here are some tips to use at home to make your teeth look better:
-
Baking Soda:
You can mix a quarter teaspoon of baking soda with a little toothpaste (preferably not a gel one). Brush your teeth with this mixture and then rinse it thoroughly, you can do this once or twice a week. You can also combine baking soda with lemon juice, white vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide.
For whiter teeth, you can make a mouthwash by mixing one tablespoon of baking soda and one and a half teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide with one cup of cold water. Use this twice or thrice a week.
You can also scrub your teeth gently for at least two minutes with diluted baking soda. Do this twice in the first week, and then every 15 days. It is essential to note that excess use of baking soda can strip your teeth of its natural enamel.
2. Orange Peel
Rub orange peel over your teeth every night before going to sleep. As the bacteria go about their work maximum at night, The vitamin C and calcium in the orange peel will combat them throughout the night.
Do this for a few weeks and you will notice effective results.

Salt is one of the fundamental dental cleansing agents that has been used for ages. You can use common salt regularly each morning as a tooth powder instead of toothpaste. You can also mix common salt with baking soda and gently rub it on your teeth.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
As complicated the name sounds, the more simply it works on your teeth. It has been clinically proven that apple cider vinegar would eventually remove stubborn stains on the teeth, especially from coffee and nicotine but you have to be consistent and it takes a least a month of continuous usage to see results. After brushing with ACV, you will need to brush again with regular toothpaste, preferably a non-fluoride paste, or rinse your mouth out really well.
