Option 2: Baking Soda & Toothpaste
Add a tiny amount of baking soda to your normal toothpaste
Brush lightly for 2 minutes
Rinse well
This is gentler than using baking soda alone.
Option 3: Hydrogen Peroxide Rinse (Occasional Use)
Dilute 3% hydrogen peroxide with equal water
Swish for 30–60 seconds only
Rinse with plain water afterward
This helps reduce stains and bacteria but should not be used daily.
Important safety rules (don’t skip this)
Do not scrub hard – gentle brushing protects enamel
Do not use baking soda daily (1–2 times per week max)
Avoid lemon, vinegar, charcoal, or salt scrubs – they damage enamel
Stop immediately if you feel sensitivity
What results to expect
Teeth often look cleaner and brighter right away
Stains from coffee or smoking may visibly fade
Results are cosmetic, not permanent bleaching
How to keep teeth whiter longer
Rinse your mouth after coffee or tea
Use a straw for dark drinks
Brush twice daily and floss
Drink more water throughout the day
nal note
If your teeth are deeply yellow, gray, or sensitive, home methods won’t fix the root cause. In those cases, a dentist is the safest option. But for quick stain removal and a fresher smile, this 2-minute routine can make a real difference when done carefully.
A brighter smile often starts with small habits 😊
