Would you like to whiten your teeth? How to do that the natural way...

Teeth whitening is the top requested cosmetic dental procedure in the U.S...

If you’d like a brighter smile, without the price or trip to the dentist, here are a few things you can do to whiten your teeth the natural way:

• Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables. They’re naturally abrasive and help protect your teeth from stains and bacteria.

• Eat cheese. It’s great for the outer layer of enamel and even helps to prevent cavities.

• Brush with berries. Mash strawberries into a paste, apply to teeth and leave it there for 5 minutes. They help remove stains and plaque.

• Use baking soda and lemon juice. Mix it into a paste, brush it on and let it sit for a minute. Just don’t overdo it. Once a week is plenty.
