Getting your teeth professionally whitened can be a very expensive process, with prices starting anywhere from €80.

HOWEVER, if, like me, you find yourself broke AF this time of year- hope is not lost!

There are ways to whiten your teeth at home, that will not break the bank! 

Check out these home remedies that may just whiten those gnashers…

 

Coconut oil pulling

Simply put a spoonful of coconut oil in your mouth and swish it between your teeth for five to 20 minutes, or add a few drops to your toothbrush, and brush it on. VOILÁ – white teeth.

 

Apple Cider Vinegar 

ACV effectively works as a natural antibiotic and teeth/gum cleanser. It can also remove stubborn stains on the teeth.

 

Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is an antibacterial agent that works great as a total mouth and gum cleaner, and keeps the mouth free of germs. 

 

Lemon or orange peels

Similarly to Apple Cider Vinegar, some swear by using citrus fruits – including lemon and/or orange peels, which contain beneficial acids.

 

Strawberries 

These gorgeous berries contain many beneficial antioxidants and other compounds that can benefit the health of your teeth! Try out this homemade teeth-whitening recipe, and let us know how you get on.
