Baking soda with ginger
A good home remedy for whitening teeth is to brush your teeth daily with a homemade mix that is prepared with baking soda and ginger, ingredients that are easily found in pharmacies and stores of natural products, in conjunction with a whitening toothpaste.
This paste is good for whitening teeth because it has an exfoliating effect, removing tartar or tartar microparticles that make the teeth more yellowish and darker. However, this home treatment for teeth whitening should only be done 2 times a week so as not to wear out the teeth, because it can weaken the tooth enamel causing sensitivity.
Ingredients
-
- 2 to 3 teaspoons of baking soda
-
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
- 3 drops of peppermint essential oil.
Directions
Mix all the ingredients very well and store in a tightly closed container and away from light. Always wet the toothbrush first, place the normal toothpaste and then add this mixture, brushing the teeth well and rinsing with water at the end.
