At home teeth whitening is the difference between spending little money for great results, and big money for similarly great results.

Over the years, I have tested multiple products, both store and homemade, and now know, in my opinion, the best way to get white teeth from the products you can find within your own home.

What this guide will go over...

In this little guide, I'm going to talk about 7+ tips, tricks, and mistakes regarding at home teeth whitening. Each of these tips will link to a more in-depth description of the idea of that tip. If a link is not available, the corresponding page has not yet been created.

First, we'll begin with great ways to get a whiter smile from home. Then, I'll talk about things that you should NOT do, in an attempt to beautify your teeth.

How To: Whiten Teeth at Home

  • Hydrogen Peroxide
  • Baking Soda
  • Apples
  • Drink Water

Hydrogen Peroxide

Yes. It's the stuff you'll find in most medicine cabinets.

But did you know this same ingredient is used in products like

  • Crest Whitestrips
  • Listerine Whitening Mouth Wash
  • & other similar commercial products?

Use this stuff twice a day before or after brushing your teeth.

Baking Soda

Get back to the basics. Get some baking soda, and mix it in with your favorite toothpaste. If you're too lazy to do that, just purchase toothpaste that contains baking soda. Arm and Hammer toothpaste is always good.

Apples

Did you just drink some nasty coffee? Maybe you just ate a snack? Apples are natural teeth cleaners. Eating them after a meal is a great way to remove plaque, and keep your teeth even healthier and cleaner. Some people say that their teeth even became whiter.

Drink Water

Glass of Mineral Water

Again, it's another great way to remove nasty food from your mouth. We've all eaten and gotten food stuck between our teeth. Drink water during each meal to remove plaque, and brighten your smile.

Mistakes: Avoid removing tooth enamel!

Sure, it will make your teeth whiter. But it will also make your teeth 'invisible' by removing enamel. I definitely don't recommend following this trick!

Strawberries

Like lemons, strawberries are actually very acidic. They can actually ruin your teeth. Again, it's not something that I recommend doing!
