DIY Teeth Whitener

Anything with strawberries... I'm willing to try!

I came across a cool and supposedly cheaper way to save money when whitening your teeth. According to Health.com, you can use a strawberry and baking soda to get rid of coffee, red wine, dark soda, and other stains on your teeth. They say to take a ripe strawberry and crush it up in a bowl or cup, then mix in a half of a teaspoon of baking soda, and then apply the strawberry/baking soda paste to your teeth. Let it sit for 5 minutes, and then brush your teeth using toothpaste. They say to do this once a week. From the site:

“While it’s no replacement for a bleaching treatment at your dentist’s office, ‘this is a fast, cheap way to brighten your smile,’ says Adina Carrel, DMD, a dentist in private practice at Manhattan Dental Arts in New York.”
