Whiten your teeth with a home remedy in just two minutes

Your appearance and personality are pivotal in determining the effectiveness of your communication, to which yellowish or non-white teeth produce a negative effect. A good personality not only is helpful in influencing others, but also counts on increasing self-confidence; and thus whitening your teeth - if they are not already - is of most importance.

According to a report, people in America spend $1.4 annually in getting various treatments from dentists for whitening their teeth. But unfortunately these treatments don't last much and the original shade of the teeth reappears in just a matter of days. So wouldn't it be wise to consider some other natural ways or home remedies for whitening your teeth?

Fortunately, a quick and safe home remedy can do the task in just two minutes. You require;

Baking Soda (1 teaspoon)
Lemon (1 teaspoon squeezed juice)

Take a lemon and crush it to extract a teaspoon of its juice. Mix this lemon juice with 1 teaspoon baking soda for a minute, until it looks like a paste. Now dry your teeth preferably with a paper towel, wiping off the saliva (if any) on the teeth; and then apply the mixture to your teeth and leave it for two minutes. Rinse (wash) your mouth with water after two minutes and pass on a whitening smile to those near you!

You can also use water instead of lemon juice to make the paste with baking soda on some days, for whitening your teeth. Preferably you may alternatively use a paste of baking soda and lemon juice on a day and baking soda and water on another, so that your gums also remain safe.

Note: Don't repeat applying the baking soda and lemon juice paste daily, otherwise it may be bad for the gums.
