Want a brighter smile without resorting to chemical treatments? These natural remedies can help whiten your teeth:

• Baking Soda: Known for its abrasive properties, baking soda helps remove surface stains on teeth. Make a paste with water and brush gently.

• Hydrogen Peroxide: Diluted hydrogen peroxide can help whiten teeth by killing bacteria. Use it as a mouthwash, but don’t swallow!

• Apple Cider Vinegar: This natural disinfectant can help remove stains, but use it sparingly to avoid enamel erosion.

• Oil Pulling: Swishing coconut oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes can reduce bacteria and promote whiter teeth.

• Strawberries and Baking Soda: Strawberries contain malic acid, which may help whiten teeth. Mix mashed strawberries with baking soda for a natural teeth-whitening paste.

While these methods may help, they are not as effective as professional whitening treatments and should be used in moderation to protect enamel.
