How to Make Homemade Tooth Whitener

Black coffee, tea, smoking, soda and wine--all can stain our teeth. Fortunately, you can whiten your fabulous smile in the comfort of your own home. Here are a few recipes to get you started.

Recipe One

1. Step1

   Buy some baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for this particular toothwhitening recipe.

2. Step2

   Take one teaspoon of baking soda and a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide. Be careful to only use a small amount of the peroxide.

3. Step3

   Mix the baking soda with the hydrogen peroxide and use as you would toothpaste.

Recipe Two

4. Step1

   Use the baking soda from the recipe in Section 1. Instead of hydrogen peroxide, you will need table salt for this recipe.

5. Step2

   Measure three teaspoons of baking soda and one teaspoon of table salt.

6. Step3

   Stir the baking soda and salt together and use on a toothbrush as you would regular toothpaste. In this recipe, the salt is the abrasive, while the baking soda is the cleanser and whitener.

Recipe Three

7. Step1

   Gather some bay leaves and some orange peels. The bay leaves should be powdered and dry for this recipe. Let the orange peel dry out as well--vitamin C is not great for your teeth.

8. Step2

   Bunch the bay leaves and the dried peel so they are lined up together.

9. Step3

   Rub gently on your teeth, making sure to expose your chompers to both the bay leaves and the orange peel. The combination of the two makes for a great tooth whitening recipe.
