Bare Those Pearly Whites!

Who doesn’t want a blinding white smile? After all, studies show that whitening your teeth instantly makes you look younger.

Fortunately, there are many ways to keep your teeth white without breaking the bank.

Quick Whitening Tricks:

Dip your toothbrush in baking soda, (don’t brush too hard or more than once a week) or switch to a toothpaste that has baking soda in it.

Snack on crunchy foods – best sources are carrots, apples and celery, which act as natural abrasives, removing surface stains naturally!

More reason to eat your greens - foods such as spinach, broccoli, and lettuce hold mineral compounds that build a film over your teeth, so pigments from other foods can't stain.

Try a blue-based red or pink lipstick or gloss, which will automatically make your teeth look whiter. Dark clothes also work in the same way.

Bite into strawberries- their flesh whitens your teeth by removing surface stains!

Remember to rinse with water after drinking coffee, tea, etc. so stains don't have time to settle in.
