• Use some baking soda: baking soda actually happens to be one of the best, artificial tooth whiteners whereby it cleans and whitens teeth at once.

To use baking-soda, simply prepare a paste by combining baking-soda, water and a small portion of salt then brush your teeth normally for about 1-minute. Rinse out your mouth well in order to remove any baking-soda. However, only use baking-soda to clean teeth for twice a week because baking-soda is abrasive and can easily erode the enamel if used on a regular basis.

• Try using some hydrogen peroxide: this is actually a powerful bleaching agent that will help to whiten your teeth. This chemical-substance features a composition of H2O2 which is very close to water and it’s actually used as an antiseptic, disinfectant and oxidizer hence it very versatile and useful. Hydrogen peroxide is also one of the ingredients found in toothpastes, disinfectants and mouthwashes. Additionally, you can make a solution of hydrogen-peroxide and water then use it as a mouthwash to clean and whiten your teeth.

• Chew some sugar-free gum containing xylitol: chew gum that does not contain artificial-sugars but one that contains xylitol which is a natural sweetener that can prevent plaque. In fact, plaque feeds on artificial sugars but it won’t be able to feed or digest xylitol. Xylitol can also neutralize the ph-levels in the mouth and even increases saliva production. However, as saliva washes away food and debris, it can even carry bacteria within your mouth hence you need to brush for at least 2-times daily and even consider low-sugar intakes.
