Did you have a scheduled cleaning cancelled due to COVID-19? Teeth feeling a little grimy no matter how much you brush? Here are a few cheap and effective ways to clean and brighten your teeth using things you probably already have in the kitchen.
Things like baking soda, lemon juice, peroxide and strawberries can really do a great job cleaning and whiting your teeth, even loosening up stubborn stains.
Clearly you need to be careful and follow directions so you don't damage the enamel on your teeth. None of these hacks should be a replacement for a professional dental cleaning, but these can help get you over the hump until your dentist is seeing patients again.
Below are a few different things you can try, but again, please follow directions closely.
