Tips to whiten teeth naturally.

White teeth are teeth that reflect most of the white light that falls on them. If you go into a dark room, for instance, your teeth will not look white in that room.

Now what causes the white light to be reflected. Firstly, most of the light has to be reflected and not absorbed by some dark pigment (stain) on your teeth. Therefore, you can try to "wash out" temporary food stains (like blueberry stains) by brushing , if you brush soon after the meal. Or if the tooth appears dark because of demineralization, you can try to fill the dark voids where hydroxyapatite crystals were knocked out by a low pH situation (it is like replacing black pixels on a picture with white pixels). This will make the surface smoother, thereby reflecting most of the light that is pointed at it. Of course cleaning your teeth professionally will help remove the dark pigments which absorbed light. Whatever you do, don't use some acidic materials (like lemon juice....) that yes, will help slightly whitening your teeth, but more importantly the acid will remove not only the stain but the enamel as well.

If you think of hydrogen peroxide as being natural (your body naturally produces it on its own), then normal teeth whitening with either hydrogen peroxide or carbide peroxide could be used, to make the dentin whiter, at the same time bleach some topical stains.

Stay away from abrasive toothpaste (RDA greater than 100) since they will "whiten" your teeth by abrading the enamel, until there is little left.

So to sum up, if you want to “brighten” your teeth (that is to remove surface stains), best to go to a dentist and have him/her professionally remove these topical stains. Don’t try to do it with acidic compounds like lemon juice, apples or abrasive material etc. After you get them professionally cleaned, brush gently but thoroughly at least twice a day, and preferably after eating pigmented food or drinks. And don’t smoke, whatever you do. Getting nicotine stains out is very difficult.

And if you wish to “whiten” your teeth, that is to make the dentin under the enamel whiter, home made remedies will not help and can cause harm. The only thing that dentists use today is a form of oxygen, either in the form of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The perhydroxyl ion that separates out of these peroxides, penetrates through the enamel and into the dentin, attacking dark pigments making them colorless and water soluble. This can be done in the dentist’s office or with take home trays. Things like whitening strips can help but they are not as effective as the dentist prescribed solutions.

And stay away from a lot of these “home-made” (natural) remedies. They can do much more harm than good.
