Healthy Household: Cheap White Smile

cheap-white-smile

Here is how to mix up Cheap White Smile. I have two tiny strawberries, an equal amount of baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt. The amounts don't have to be exact.

1 small organic strawberry, fresh or frozen
baking soda, same amount as size of strawberry
pinch of sea salt

Grind the strawberry, baking soda and sea salt together. It will fizz up if the strawberry is fresh. You can use this paste in two ways. Rub it on your teeth and let it sit for 15 minutes. Or brush your teeth with a small amount of the paste. Spit the paste out and start again. Do a long brushing for about 10 minutes using up all the paste. Your toothbrush will be a mess afterwards and will need a cleaning. This recipe will clean off stains too. You will have a bright clean smile, naturally. You will also keep your money in your pocket rather than enrich the cosmetics industry.

I do not know the long term safety of this recipe. It would be best to only whiten your teeth a few times a year. I am sure this recipe is safer than commercial teeth whitening products.
