My husband and I have been wanting to whiten our teeth for years now. Ever since we saw the first whitening strip on a store shelf. However, with our limited budget we were unable to purchase the whitening kits. I thought we were destined to have yellow teeth forever.
Then I saw it. The cheapest (free for us) way to whiten your teeth that actually works. here's how you do it.
- get baking soda
- get peroxide (normal 3%)
- mix the two with a q-tip until it's like paste
- use the q-tip to apply the paste to your teeth.
- wait as long as you can, (no more than 20 minutes, I wait 10, my husband waits 5)
- Make sure you don't swallow the mixture
- Spit, then use your tooth brush and any remaining paste to brush.
- Rinse (i often brush with a normal toothpaste after this because I can't stand the taste left in my mouth.)
- then stare at your teeth, admire their whiteness!

Wow! I will have to try that. I would rather make my own and know what's in it than have all the chemicals.
Thanks for sharing. I've been thinking of whitening my teeth recently. Believe it or not I just noticed how yellow my teeth has become (yikes! all that coffee over the years!).
yah, Coffee has been doing that to me too! I didn't realize how yellow they were until I whitened them!
Thanks Jessica! I used to do this when I was younger and forgot all about it. Guess I will go back to it. It also kills germs and bacteria on the gum line.
I am so going to try this! Thanks for sharing!
I hadn't thought about whitening my teeth but this seems so simple I'll give it a shot.
Thanks!
I just heard of this method today. As a smoker and coffee drinker...well, let's just say that I can't wait to get home and try this!
Sounds great, How much baking soda and how much peroxide please?
