Your Teeth and Baking Soda

 

If you really want whiter teeth, there are safer and more holistic alternatives than the conventional route.

Here's what you do:

1. Take a pinch of baking soda and put it into a small glass or bowl.

2. Add a small amount of purified water (ideally not tap water) to the bowl and mix it into the baking soda. The solution should be slightly runny, as you don’t want too many of the granules present. Dip your toothbrush in to get some of the solution on the brush.

3. Brush your teeth, starting with your molars and then moving to the facings and backs of your teeth.

4. Optional: Once done, you can add some more water to the glass or bowl and swish it around your mouth. This will help keep your mouth alkaline.

5. Rinse out your mouth with purified water as you normally would after brushing.
