Title: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: iadore on February 16, 2015, 07:33:46 pm: Do you want white teeth ?

Get one lime,cut it in half,than squeeze one half in a small plate,than get about one or two tablespoon of baking soda powder and mix it with the lime juice until it creates a thick paste.Apply it in your teeth,leave it for 2 minutes. Than rinse your mouth.Repeat this process once a week,you will have wonderful results.

Thanks.

My guess is it's a little sour, huh? :P

:fish:

Post by: hitch0403 on February 16, 2015, 09:43:50 pm: I just have 1 question.What do you do with the other half of the lime?

LOL!!!I think i can answer that.When you see results you pour yourself a nice drink and add the other half in it to celebrate!!

Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: pmagalei on February 17, 2015, 08:59:53 am: That sounds like a good Idea. Hopefully when I have time I will remember to give it a try. Well what are the chances that not only you will see positive results, people will start to recognize that I really have teeth. LOL
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: yaayme on February 17, 2015, 11:33:35 am: Hmm, I might try that. I guess it's safe if you use it only once a week.

Post by: pstovall on February 17, 2015, 11:34:25 am: Chewing on lemons is one of the worst things you can do for tooth enamel. The acid breaks down the enamel and can make your teeth very sensitive. I did a science project in high school many years ago that proved lemon juice dissolves enamel. I would be afraid lime juice would work the same way.

Post by: monnee on February 17, 2015, 12:07:48 pm: I read that adding water to baking soda will make a good toothpaste.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: catchow on February 17, 2015, 08:21:39 pm: too sour for me, Ive heard tho if you smash strawberries up, and rub on your teeth it also whitens them, havent tried it personally tho

Very interesting. I was wondering about the acid in the lime which is same citrus family as the lemon.

Perhaps the banana peel is a safer alternative.

Post by: stbernard1973 on February 17, 2015, 08:56:15 pm: I have a cousin that has never used toothpaste in his life (he's in his late 60's). He has always brushed his teeth with baking soda. He's got the whitest teeth of any human being I've ever seen in my life. You could bring ships to port with his teeth. LOL

Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: nannycoe1 on February 18, 2015, 04:50:05 am: I might try this, I have used baking soda before but not with lime juice
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: sdenimandlace1 on February 18, 2015, 07:18:57 am: Sounds real sour will stick to the baking soda toothpaste.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: carmexqueen on February 18, 2015, 10:09:48 am: I saw a video on YouTube about this and I wanted to try it but fear it would damage my teeth. But then I think about all the other things that I do that damage my teeth like drinking soda and it may be worth the risk. Maybe I could brush with a better toothpaste than aqua fresh to restrengthen my enamel.

Post by: amaravee on February 18, 2015, 01:09:23 pm: hmm i should try that...

Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: vp44 on February 18, 2015, 08:25:33 pm: Seems like a nice trick, but like some have said about the acid in the limes and teeth enamel.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: ladycasshmere on February 19, 2015, 06:58:25 pm: I'm going to try that thanks.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: loulizlee on February 19, 2015, 07:25:32 pm: Baking soda is supposed to be good for this. This is why it is in some toothpastes.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: freedavis on February 20, 2015, 06:44:23 am: tumeric power is a good trick.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: misi49 on February 25, 2015, 09:10:38 pm: I am always looking for better ways to whiten my teeth. This is a very interesting idea and something I will have to try. If it works it would be a cheaper alternative to all the expensive toothpastes I have tried over the years with minimal results.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: LaTashaS28 on February 25, 2015, 09:21:51 pm: I am not so sure, but I might give it a try. I am wondering is it really good.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: nmbrown863 on February 25, 2015, 09:29:25 pm: That's interesting. I know baking soda is supposed to work for whitening. I have also heard and tried the baking soda and peroxide but never stuck with it. Just yesterday I got to crowns put on my top front teeth and they are so white compared to my natural teeth that they recommended the phillips zoom whitening procedure. I am probably going to do it just wish it wasn't so darn expensive.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: dreamyxo on February 25, 2015, 10:00:31 pm: Don't use acid on your teeth unless you want to ruin them. Hydrogen peroxide works too.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: Skyenkit on February 27, 2015, 01:47:17 pm: Interesting! I will try this. Thanks for sharing.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: patti4me on February 27, 2015, 03:34:58 pm: I've heard that acid can eat away at your tooth enamel so don't know that I'll try that but its an interesting thought. Thanks for sharing.

Post by: minioncookies on February 28, 2015, 09:10:46 am: Hmmm i have never heard of that before... I guess their are several natrual methods to teeth whiting.. I will try this out! Thanks for the info.. :highfive:
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: nickylanena on February 28, 2015, 10:31:04 am: I've never heard of this trick. Wouldn't the acid in the lime wear enamel, though? ??? Let's hope not! ;)

Post by: ljrjess69 on March 04, 2015, 08:47:53 am: i use baking soda on my teeth!
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: bleyd on March 04, 2015, 11:28:10 am: Interesting. Will have to try it someday. It's definitely a cheaper alternative than buying whitener at the store.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: Forp on March 04, 2015, 11:30:49 am: Have heard several never tried them though. I tried samples of expensive ones; but wasn't to impressed.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: 6265AT99 on March 04, 2015, 11:56:05 am: Sounds interesting and I know it's a whole lot cheaper than those whitening strips or trays!!
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: beatsdrop on March 04, 2015, 07:46:08 pm: Might have to try this, thanks!!
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: lguzman1 on March 04, 2015, 11:29:23 pm: That might work to whiten your teeth, but there is a problem with that solution. Anything that is acetic is not good for your teeth. I once went to the dentist and they told me you drink a lot of orange juice right and I told them yes, He said I should stop because it's not good for my teeth enamel. I think that lemon is in the same area as orange, so be careful.

Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: bigfoot951 on March 05, 2015, 07:21:09 pm: Of course that would whiten your teeth. All of it is healthy!!! Not only is that stuff good for your teeth, it's good for your overall health. I highly recommend getting all of those in the organic fashion.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: dwggs on March 06, 2015, 06:12:52 am: Sounds interesting ... I usually rinse with peroxide .. it works well and kills germs .. NEVER swallow it ..
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: braggin on March 06, 2015, 07:01:34 am: This sounds like it would work but is it good for the enamel of the teeth? Are you sure you aren't damaging something you aren't supposed to be touching?
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth

Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: BOSSLADYNELLY on March 07, 2015, 09:10:40 am: I knew about eating cheese, but I had no idea about eating strawberries. I love Super Smile. Using Vaseline takes me back to my days of being a majorette, when we would apply to our teeth so that we could smile continually. I also love "Dentist," a tooth polish with the chief ingredient of clay. It is unique but works well to deep-clean.

Post by: cathy37 on March 07, 2015, 02:37:28 pm: Wow that is so simple. I will have to definitely try this and hope it will work for me. Lime juice I can handle, but baking soda is nasty.
Title: Re: One cool trick to whiten your teeth
Post by: quietpal on March 07, 2015, 07:18:20 pm: I'm reading posts and from what I understand the acid in citrus fruits is not good for your teeth. I wonder if just plain water mixed with baking soda would work just as well.
