Many people’s health and beauty regimes are expanding to include mineral make-up, natural hair care, and environmentally friendly body products.
But an often-forgotten part of the ‘greener’ bathroom routine is our teeth cleaning. Here are some ideas to whiten your teeth whilst using products that are low impact on the environment. In addition to regular check-ups, flossing and brushing, you could investigate these whitening ideas:
- A lemon juice and salt solution may be used to whiten your teeth, or swishing baking soda (diluted with water) is a gentler alternative to commercial whitening solutions.
- Try cutting back on strong tea and coffee, because caffeine can stain your teeth. Chewing on organic, crunchy vegetables is a great plaque and stain-fighting technique. You could try snacking on raw celery, broccoli and carrots for a natural cleaning for your teeth.
- It is always a good idea to consult your dental healthcare professional before using homemade mouthwashes. You can also talk to your dentist about sourcing a natural toothpaste, to avoid harsh chemicals.
